Extratime.ie Sportscast Season 8 Episode 18 - Japan/South Korea 2002 World Cup - Big Mick's Pinnacle Part 2

Send your your thoughts, opinions or feedback on any topics discussed on our podcastsIn contrast to McCarthy's most recent spell in charge, the 2002 World Cup was a time of the most exhilarating, enjoyable and entertaining football we've seen from an Irish team for many years. It was also a time of 'The Losers Go Home' Nike ad, Après Match at the peak of their hilarity and the travelling fans' numbers bolstered by the Celtic Tiger as Declan Marron & Macdara Ferris recall.The lads relive the Irish games discussing the joy of Robbie Keane's late goals, Dec's hatred for Carsten Janker, a tired and emotional Dunphy mentioning Swastikas on the radio and the heartbreak of going out to Spain in a manky penalty shoot-out. And although they mostly swerve Saipan, there is a little chat right at the end on it's lasting legacy for both parties and whether Roy & Mick will meet again. Support the show
