I bet that'll change if Ireland knock one home. ET 2 min Spain seem to be lining up 4-5-1, with Mendieta and Luis Enrique trying to support Luque. ET 14 min It's all Ireland.
Listed below are the dates and results for the 2002 FIFA World Cup qualification rounds for UEFA teams.. Prior to the 2002 World Cup finals the Republic of Ireland had only qualified for the finals on two prior occasions and only Jack Charlton had ever led the Irish to the finals of any major competition. Still fucking heart breaking. Spain 1 - !
Harts missed penalty, Duffs legendary winging, the Spanish disallowed goals, and Irelands come back in the second half... You could make a mini series of it ffs . It's launched forward, route one style, to Big Niall Quinn, whose header drops to Keane. Germany won the group, and advanced to the second round, along with the Republic of Ireland. Sunday, 16 June, 2002, 15:11 GMT 16:11 UK Spain break Irish hearts. ET 25 This is the first bit of sustained pressure by Spain since the start of the second half. Cracking performance overall. Anyone watching? Spain vs South Korea.
Spain pen Hierro steps up...and dispatches it into the corner (Ireland 1 Spain 1), Ireland penRobbie Keane steps up.....and knocks it high into the net (Ireland 1 Spain 0). ET 1 min I reckon Ireland are favourites here: Spain have a forward line of Luque and no one else, while Mick McCarthy's men have the momentum and a bunch of hungry strikers. save hide report. ET 9 min Kilbane wins a corner.
Geez, this is exciting.
Sadly, Ireland's corner comes to nothing but they're still attacking.
The end Spain didn't deserve their victory - they were so, so lucky to earn a place in the quarter-finals.
We're coming up to 15 years since a Roy Keaneless Ireland reached the Last 16 of the World Cup in Japan and South Korea, only to get feckin' poxed by a plucky Spanish outfit in Suwon. He takes an extravagant run-up but screws it wide (Ireland 1-2 Spain).
Play in Group E of the 2002 FIFA World Cup completed on 11 June 2002.
ET 29 Duff, the Irish wing wizard, cuts inside brilliantly, charges into the box and lays it across. Yes!" ET 6 min The Spanish are so afraid of Duff and Keane.
Thanks to everybody who emailed in by the way... Spain penalty Mendieta steps up....and repositions the ball on the spot. Corner!
