Ireland 1 - 0 Holland : 2001 : WCQ | Match Highlights

[@SavoPaddy]

Keane was immense. People forget about Steve Finnan however, a brilliant player for Ireland and Liverpool.

[@cgopie1]

(Copied from Google about Steve Finnan) - "He is the only player to have played in the World Cup, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup, Intertoto Cup, all four levels of the English league football and the Football Conference."

[@laoch5658]

finnan was bang average

[@fckwful]

There were only two players that could score against Oliver Kahn during the WC 2002, Brazil's Ronaldo (in the final) and Keane!

[@delki69]

[@johnmc3862]

​​@@laoch5658Nonsense, Finnan was quality without a doubt. Backheel and a cross for the goal! 😭

This game was on the same day U2 played Slane Castle..We watched the game on the big screens before the gig. The place erupted when Mcateers goal went in.

[@whirledcups]

Amazing. There's a couple of references to the match and game-winning goal in the DVD of that concert.

[@markdeschim8253]

As a dutchman I still can't believe we didn't qualify for the 2002 world cup. We had such a quality squad back then yet somehow they managed to screw it up, like being 2-0 up against Portugal and then handing them a draw. So many chances in this game as well. Ireland fully deserved to qualify though. I remember being gutted when we lost but finding some solace in the fact that it was against the Irish who fully deserved a little payback for 88, 94 and 96. :D

[@RM-gr1mc]

Many star players missed these qualifier games. The best starting 11 of this dutch generation, including Bergkamp who retired from national team in 2000, would probably win the two previous world cups (18,22).

[@peterodemwingingy9850]

I was at this game and Roy Keane was what won it for us. Best game at Landsdowne I was ever at and I was at alot.

[@extramild1]

Yeah- he was huge that day, whatever happened before or since that day Keane was a God.

[@veckyy]

Support for Ireland from CRO🇭🇷, i'm also remember that match !!!

[@naicoronnoc2231]

I was there with my father and uncle. My uncle had got us tickets and asked us to come up to Dublin. Of course we jumped at the chance! When we arrived all in green, ebullient and singing to our hearts content, my uncle turns and says, "we'll be seated with the Dutch. These were the only tickets I could get. So ye may want tone it down." As you can imagine, it was quite awkward being amongst a sea of orange, doing our best not to cheer with too much enthusiasm, casually clapping in a sympathetic manner at their missed opportunities. But when Keane took that ball and passed it on, falling down, the rest can only be described as magic. Well, we jumped up and down, looking each other in the eyes in disbelief, screaming as the home side echoed our cries from the other side of the pitch. I was 11 and it was one of the most beautiful moments I've lived. The supporters around us shook our hands and congratulated us, which we couldn't believe and we nodded back apologetically and respectfully. That was Irish football. We haven't been in a world cup since.

[@nazeemameen1253]

You were cheated and robbed by Thierry Henry in 2010.

[@youngdolo8]

My dad was with a few of his friends for THAT game against Germany in 2014. They were with Irish fans, but there were two free tickets as two of em couldn't go. They sold the tickets at sale price to two young German college students who'd been stiffed earlier in the day. To make it up to the two young fellas, dad bought them a pint each. 😂

[@GodOfVictory501]

That was a great WC qualifying campaign/WC finals - an absolute roller coaster. We haven't had anything like that since then.

[@martinUTFR]

Great day , atmosphere was unreal ground was shaking after goal

[@EverGreen1888]

[@tommygleeson5442]

We got a good rub of the green alright in 2001. Sweet revenge for Wim Kieft's poxy oul' goal in '88.

[@johnflanagan5123]

[@only1icon1801]

Just remember Given having a great game and Macca scored just being totally euphoric. Fantastic squad of players and shame we didn't go further in the world cup

[@aidenpower1844]

One of the great Irish victories. But we certainly rode our luck that day against a fantastic Dutch side. They probably [certainly?] deserved a goal for the amount of chances they created. Gary Kelly being sent off seems to have been lost in the midst of time. Makes the victory even more impressive. Great finish by McAteer. As another post mentioned it cancels out Wim Keift's dodgy winner in '88. In hindsight its a shame the Saipan scandal undid a lot of the good work in reaching the finals. We could gone a lot further if Mr Keane had stayed or returned!

[@dennist6397]

Here because of the Ireland Holland game tonight. Its still a shame that my country didnt qualify for the wc 2002 back then (im Dutch), especially considering the top teams that WC weren’t impressive. Looking at the chances this game, lady luck was with Ireland that day. Although, I remember a good playing Irish side should ve won in Amsterdam, where we were struggling with the retirement of Bergkamp and the disappointment of the Euros. Plus: I always liked the Irish national side and their fans because of their passion for the game. Good luck tonight!

[@samuelrobinson1992]

I was at the second U2 concert in Slane that day and when Jayo scored the crowd went mental, then Tim Wheeler took the stage and said"who's goin to Japan" then sang Girl from Mars... it was incredible...

[@whirledcups]

That's awesome. Didn't know Ash opened for U2 at that show. Bono makes a reference to McAteer's goal when performing 'Beautiful Day' - he changes the lyrics at the end to "beautiful....goal!" (Look up the clip on KZbin.)

[@seamusbyrne5350]

We didn’t qualify for the World Cup finals that day. We had to play Iran in a two-legged play-Off. We won the home leg 2:0 but lost the away leg 1:0 and were lucky we didn’t concede a second but for a brilliant save by Given. Roy Keane didn’t go to Iran and I think that was the start of the falling out with McCarthy.

That was a serious Dutch team! I don't remember us having a player sent off or being so jammy! Selective memory for you!

God it still feels painful to watch this. That team we had back then dominated possession in many games but was woeful when it came to finishing. This game felt like the semi against Italy in 2000. Internally there were issues between Van Gaal's discipline and the experienced players, but even then we were so unlucky and also should've won Portugal away, but Figo dived at the last moment and they got a penalty!!! Just dreadful to think back on it, even now!!!

The Dutch knocked Ireland out of 3 different tournaments. On this occasion it was the Irish knocking the Dutch out. From a neutral point of view Holland did not deserve to lose. You could argue though that the Irish work rate and defensive discipline deserved something from this game.

At the end the Dutch had a front 3 of Hasselbaink/Kluivert/Van Nistelrooy ffs! The ball was never gonna go in for them that day.
