The Republic of Ireland can cause problems for Italy, Belgium and Sweden at Euro 2016, according to Luuk de Jong.

De Jong's 85th-minute header cancelled out Shane Long's opener as the Netherlands fought back to claim a draw against the Boys in Green at the Aviva Stadium on Friday.

The PSV striker was impressed by Long and says that Martin O'Neill's team possess "a good mentality" as well as a dangerous set-piece threat, which will help at the tournament.
