Korea/Japan was the first World Cup we could conceivably, not have won, by any means, but gone further than we have ever gone, in. Had it not been for Keane spitting out his dummy, which ruined everything. And believe it or not, gentle non-Irishmen, it was MICK MC CARTHY who ended up being hated in Ireland after that, NOT Keane! Un-****ing-believable.
(No, we haven't forgotten it, nor I feel will we ever; like the "Hand of God" courtesy of Henri that kept us out of the last one, and that fat sack of **** Blatter laughing about us on TV. ****.)
