Episode 3507: The Prague Express, Andy Reid On Ireland, Europol Swoop
We’ve been podcasting and eating chicken schnitzel while hurtling along at 100mph by the River Elbe, and now a happy Second Captains crew have arrived in Prague.
We chat to Andy Reid about the playoff against Czechia and he gives us his Ireland team for Thursday night.
Ken reflects on the link between beautiful central European cities and great Irish football results, we wonder if Europol’s raid on Czech clubs/players/refs/mayors will knock our opponents off their stride, and we note the ref for Czechia V Ireland is the same one that sent Ronaldo off in the group stages.
