Thanks a million for uploading this. God this was a class Irish team.

+Alf Stewart I´m from Portugal, and went to see the game against ireland. We play a lot. I remember we create a lot of chances. But ireland had great players and a great spirit. I was leaving the stadium and the irish fans were among us, and we all look like a group of old friends. Good luck for the next tournments.

Brilliant stuff yeatscounty. Great video. Probably my favourite Irish team ever. I loved the football we played under McCarthy. Great squad of players who could play cracking football. it just makes what occurred on the eve of the world cup all the more tragic. What a pity. This team with Keane could have gone all the way to the final. Without him they were never the same.

[@ImNewAndHere2Stay]

Mc Carthy allowed the players play to their best ability; really shone after Charlton's one tactic method, of kicking big and pressing high. We could have won the World Cup in 2002. Qualified in a group containing Portugal AND Holland. Went onto lose on penalties, having missed a penalty in normal time, to the eventual World Cup Winners in the quarters (without Keane) . But Charlton had the World class team, we really should have down better

[@eamonryan8738]

Brazil, not Spain, were champions in 2002 and we lost them in the round of 16. McCarthy decided not to practice penalties. We played well in the WC, but were in a group with Saudi Arabia, the only team we beat. The performances against Spain, Cameroon and Germany were good, but when were they replicated? Ireland deteoriated rapisdly after the bright lights went out. Without Keane we were back to late-Jack.

[@thesbcguy3642]

so many leaders we had

[@sean-e-boy]

Imagine with seamus coleman in this squad and a prime john o'shea. The game against spain was sad the first pen should have been taken by keane. Roy Keane really should have been in the squad too

[@eamonryan8738]

He's better than all three!

Cop on

[@cbourke7437]

Ah takes me back

[@rosemaryfarell5264]

Fuck me I remember watching the opening game being buzzing 2-0 up but then drawing. Still great result though. Was 19 oh the days.

[@hamala7437]

The real clash here was between Eberian Rep and the Oranges but what the GA did was rare. They made it a group of One-mistake and you stay@home

[@bizzaro1988]

Jez niall quinn missed some chances in his day

[@BetoDelveccio]

20 years after, Ireland has dissapeared in world cup finals
