Hungary: the country that once reinvented football – and is determined to do so again. Ireland: the country that has just BEATEN that country, inflicting its first defeat in two years. John O’Shea asks: are you not entertained?

Before we get into the Ireland game, we talk about Manchester City’s all-out legal counter-attack on the Premier League. What is the tyranny of the majority anyway?

Gavin Cooney joins us in studio to talk about Ireland’s VICTORY over Hungary. How did we do it? Does it matter that we won? Why doesn’t he believe that John O’Shea will be the next permanent Ireland manager? What reasons are there to believe that he should get the job?

We also discuss the narrow defeat of the WNT in Sweden and De Bruyne’s Billions.
