Ireland have Evan Ferguson, Bossman Steo, a fan base that loves their team again and Ken argues that France’s 4-0 win over the Netherlands is, surprisingly, yet another reason for us to be hopeful! But as the World Cup finalists comes to town we have oh so many fears too – welcome to our Ireland V France preview show!

Is Kenny a slave to the system to the detriment of the team’s chances? Is there a chance Evan Ferguson won’t start? And will Nathan Collins’ fast mind beat Mbappe’s fast feet?

 

We chat to Philippe Auclair about France’s destruction of The Netherlands, turmoil in the French FA and Deschamps’ homework on the plucky Irish.

 

We also discuss the Griezzmann – Mbappe fake news, Ireland’s possession game, fault de Giles, and “stone age stuff”.
