Episode 2412: Nunez Loses The Head, Klopp Gets Rattled, USWNT Legend Heather O’Reilly On Her Move To Ireland

Tue 16th Aug 2022
Eoin, Ken, Murph, Heather O'Reilly

After Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Palace last night there’s already talk of the PL title being out of their reach, but McDevitt wouldn’t ever be that sensationalist.

 

Ken examines Darwin Nunez’s patchy performance before the red card, what lead to the red and Klopp’s strange reaction to both Nunez and to interview questions about Nunez.

 

Heather O’Reilly was 17 when she started playing for the USWNT, made 231 appearances in all, won the 2015 World Cup and gold medals at three consecutive Olympics; a true legend of the game.

 

She joins us in studio before flying off to Slovenia to play in the Champions League for Shels to discuss the reasons behind her move to Ireland, Wenger’s motivational talk, Usain Bolt’s football skills, and in the wake of Serena Williams’ announcement about her retirement, the tricky decisions professional female athletes have to make when balancing having a career and having children.

Plus there’s Noel King impressions, Zaha skillz and further evidence that the Irish are nicer than the English.
