When the Irish WNT qualified for the World Cup they knew it would bring more attention – but maybe they didn’t expect quite so much, so soon. A video from the dressing room unleashed a million tweets, a patronising interview on Sky Sports News sparked debates on Drivetime and Liveline and now UEFA are investigating. Good job everyone! We discuss the gigantic reaction to Chloe Mustaki’s Sky interview about the Up The Ra controversy and Irish people’s choice of songs for sing-alongs.

James Horncastle and Jack Pitt-Brooke join us to talk about the Champions League. How did Xavi fire up Inter ahead of the 3-3 thriller last night? What exactly does Kylian Mbappe think he is doing? What is that clanking grinding sound coming from the innards of what is supposed to be Antonio Conte’s finely tuned machine?

 

Will that six-minute hat trick at Ibrox help Mo Salah to rediscover himself in time to beat Man City on Sunday?

 

Plus there’s Klopp on Hamann, Jason McAteer on Brian Kerr and some Roddy Collins live show news.
