Show Notes
Alan Cawley is joined by former internationals Kevin Doyle and Keith Treacy to look back on Thursday's painful shootout defeat to Czechia, with Raf Diallo dialling in from the airport in Prague. A couple of silly errors cost Ireland in a match where they were dominating early on. Kevin likened it to that play-off defeat in Paris back in 2009, as Ireland should never have let it get to extra-time. Keith believes Ireland need to lean into their defensive strengths and their ability to be an unpleasant team to play against. Kevin backs Heimir and is heartened by the fact the team is once more a topic of conversation, which it had not been for a few years. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
