[MrIbiza07]

I see people are still arguing on YouTube. Some things never change,

[bsheehy94]

Niall Quinn > £35m Andy Carroll.

[MoLO1991]

The iconic moment, immortalised in Irish history forever. There's only one KEANO. Bring back the glory days this summer lads.

[hahern]

Was tough trying to answer a Hamlet Question in Paper 2 when the texts came in about that goal!!

[iluvmyjill]

ill never forget that moment we all watched the match in 2nd class at break and wer all thinkin we wer gonnal lose then BANG 1-1 last minute EPIC

[Tomasthesk8dude]

@iluvmyjill Exact same here, we went mental

[DaBoyzInGreen]

Big headed Kraut Khan couldn't save

his limp cock in The Final...

Well done Brazil.

[BoboFettLegacy]

mick mccarthy wolves manager?

[jgrewal6611]

lmao @ mick mccarthy

[jpjpd]

i remember this goal so much, because my dad was holding my one year old sister at the time, and i just remember my mum's petrified face as my dad danced around the room. brilliant

[meltycandleface]

Only two people beat Oliver Khan in that World Cup. Robbie Keane and Ronaldo. I'll take that any day.

[podgewalsh4]

finnan keane duff dunne and given were all at their best that world cup really was a missed opportunity

[nofatman]

@podgewalsh4 dunne didnt even play in that world cup mate he was in the sqaud though

[podgewalsh4]

@nofatman well he would have been better than that useless prick harte

[IsMiseAdhamh]

@podgewalsh4 Richard Dunne didn't play at all you moron. Stop leaving retarded comments like that when you clearly don't know what you're talking about

[podgewalsh4]

@IsMiseAdhamh calm down I didn't say he played in the world cup I just said that he was in his prime! I personally would have chose him over Ian Harte any day of the week... Its just my opinion relax a bit

[IsMiseAdhamh]

@podgewalsh4 1. Richard Dunne was NOT in his prime during this world cup.

2. Richard Dunne is a centre back.

3. How the FUCK couuld you have picked Ian Harte over Richard Dunne "any day" when Ian Harte played as a LEFT MIDFIELDER during this world cup.

So, shut the fuck up you little faggot. Yet again you show that you know NOTHING about soccer. Fuck-tard!

[podgewalsh4]

@IsMiseAdhamh I didn't know he played left midfield thought it was Kilbane in left midfield with Finnan Breen Staunton and Harte at the back? I'm just of the opinion that Ian Harte was a mistake like he missed the penalty against Spain and overall had a very poor tournament and by the way your not american so less of the soccer yeah? Im not trying to change the subject but is there really a need to swear in all your comments?

[IsMiseAdhamh]

@podgewalsh4 You're a fucking retard. I say soccer because I'm a proud Irishman, and to me football means gaelic football, soccer means soccer. Okay? You're just trying to knit-pick now because you look like an idiot who thinks he knows something about soccer when he doesn't - which is exactly what you are. Without Ian Harte we mightn't have qualified, and he was decent in the tournament itself. Anyone can miss a penalty. Why don't you just crawl back into the cave where you came from you moron.

[podgewalsh4]

@IsMiseAdhamh I'm not knit picking I was just asking. Others would disagree about Hartes performance in the tournament even Wikipedia for example just look at Harte on wiki and Im aware he was vital to qualification but he was only ever useful for his free kicks an corners he was risky at the back . And saying soccer instead of football doesn't make you any more Irish than anyone else. Every comment you make just has more swear words and derogatory comments so I wont be responding.

[podgewalsh4]

@podgewalsh4 P.S learn to tolerate peoples opinions... you don't have to like them or start a fight over them there just opinions!

[IsMiseAdhamh]

@podgewalsh4 I never said I was more Irish than anyone else for saying soccer over football. You asked why. Idiot

[fincaman2]

@IsMiseAdhamh So why is it the FAI and not the SAI ? it is called FOOTBALL

[theledgebox360]

Classic Irish goal...

[japmanmdna]

keane = legend that year any way what a man

[metallica0019]

that was one moment i wont ever fucken forget haha

[JaayyB]

One of the greatest moments in Irish football history.

[MassTerrorDCUO]

Great moment!

[92LiamO]

i was in belfast that day and even the unionists celebrated that one it was amazing

[alan27100]

bail that out u fuckers

[GoatRaper09]

@alan27100 lololololololololololololololo­lolol

[millercork]

@alan27100 possibly the greatest comment in the history of youtube

[martinnolan88]

@alan27100 best comment ive seen in a long time.

[IrishGary1]

@alan27100 probably the funniest comment ever..

[mrpetemate91]

great memories

[Limerick4liam]

Small observation: A similarity in Irish goals even over the decades...We complain about the long ball but when there's a big man to break it for Keane or other striker its the same result, goals. This goal for example is remarkably similar to Keane's goal v Italy in Bari in the 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign and the big man on that occasion was Caleb Folan.

[theburstedhemorriods]

@karezza1 ha ha even with keano you'r lot would still be shite there's only one team in Ireland

[theburstedhemorriods]

love this clip ha i was jumping around the place

[BigIrishmadman]

[1990kopkid]

I Will never forget this moment for as long as i live

[Slavestothesystem]

[goungoun2]

@Slavestothesystem ARE U RETARDED??

[Slavestothesystem]

@goungoun2 ah baby you really got you point across there with the cap locks ,how did i offend you my little dumpling,

[DaBoyzInGreen]

DER HELMUT nearly came off Kahn when DER ROBSTER stuck that one away! Roll on next Summer!!!

[ChanChanDesuChan]

paul mcshane should be appointed manager

[natesdredlocks]

irish fans are the best fans in the world

[gerrygadrumsee]

i watched this in primary school we all went mad lol

[darynom]

i remember bein in a pub back home in fethard. keane gets the ball...everyone leaned forward towards the tvs.keane strikes it. silence. then eruption. never ever have i seen a goal being celebrated so wildly! hopefully we can do the same in poland.

[EmmoF2]

LOOK AT THESE SCENES! JUST LOOK AT THESE SCENES! No other words can describe that goal and those 2 magical years

[ICJ99]

My best footballing moment ever! Ive never felt that good watching a goal go in, or never will i dont think. Words cant describe how that felt, i thought he missed at first, then he went running off into the corner! Classic!

Robbie Keane - Wolves Legend

[theworldstalking]

check out the YBIG Footie Show

[DaBoyzInGreen]

Smiley boy Beckenbaur said after the game that WE play hit and hope football. What does that Kraut know??? Gassss.....!!!

[ThePeterFitzpatrick]

awooga  The Lads !

[Aido15]

I was behind the goal for this, the best moment of my sporting life along with Cluxton kicking that point against Kerry. I'll never forget the noise and the atmosphere on that ball hitting the net. We had a stash of drink outside the stadium, went and got it and sang songs all the way Ibaraki to Tokyo. The 500, yes that's Five Hundred, German fans at the game were no banter, they said we didn't deserve a draw. I've lived there twice, they didn't quite understand what had just happened: magic.

[stanconsidine]

was on holidays in a german bar watchin this, the germans i was surrounded by kicked me out for my over the top celebrating lol, good fkn times

[milner3]

@stanconsidine haha :)

[TheCJD89]

3 people are German.

[mrsinn]

Thats what its all about, feeling happy.

[BoiIParody]

I wish when it was 1 sec to the end of the game , i fell from the sky and 'headed' the ball into the goal . LOL .

[mosfitz]

John Motson is a legend.

[MrArianara11]

the best player

[OettingerCroat]

Robbie Keane maimed the German defence here :D

[WishMonkeyscanskype]

I'm irish and love the Germans.

[Fighter7742]

ROBBY KEANE THE BEST WM 2002

[joeneylonable]

This was just an epic moment I'm half English half Irish and robbie keane is my all time favourite striker so this is one of my best sporting moments

[12Aggiefan]

Hahah great goal, better Celebration I went nuts after he scored this goal and I'm English, can't stand the Germans.

[FinuteD1]

still gives me shivers :)

[shanem365]

good man Trevor

[eugenemurray14]

mick mc carthy reaction made this goal popular :L bring on estonia :)

[arsnl978]

cmon ireland

[rapid37]

Good luck Ireland. You'll never beat the Irish. Respect from Turkey.

[noowab]

ireland is back 4 2012 yeaaaaaaah

[whatryewatchin]

great times

[ViaDomus712]

Best Goal Celebration Ever.

[alexblackcap]

Thumbs up to football 365 for bringing me here :P

[tkwk1982]

Look at these scenes! Just LOOK at these scenes!!!

[shaneflynnflynn]

God we ridiculed Mick McCarthy and the way we played, but looking at the dross Trap makes our lads play now, maybe we were wrong all along? Can't fault the lads for effort though!!

[stanconsidine]

@shaneflynnflynn mick mccarthy was our best manager, the media and all the roy keane fans turned on him when the euro qualification started, it was disgraceful the way he was treated

[abusername1000]

@stanconsidine sacked by wolves today : (

[maskedavenger94]

@stanconsidine YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[adewale007]

@stanconsidine Good on you for saying that chief. Damn straight. Big up from North Yorkshire for the Irish Massive. Brrrrrrrrrrrrap.

[Rintin07]

How Ireland didn't win the World Cup that year I'll never know

[EmmoF2]

@Rintin07 if only Ian Harte had scored that peno

[xxParamore04xx]

@Rintin07 Ian Harte's penalty miss against spain maybe... :(

[Plambey]

@Rintin07 brilliant!

[clymore25]

@Rintin07 I know..apart from Spain, Ireland were the only ones to score against Germany's Kahn.

[BizzyBenedikt41]

@clymore25 I think you mean Brazil, not Spain. Can't even remember what happened to Spain in that World Cup.

[DustyAndPistolPete]

@BizzyBenedikt41 Along with Italy they fell victim to the South Korea match fixing scandal.

[Yeeeooo000]

@Rintin07

you mean republic of ireland?

[dinkthroughball]

always brings a smile to my face

[WaffPulse]

This was the best day of my school life. A packed classroom all waiting in entire anticipation. And the flick on from Quinn and the finish from Keane, the whole room want mental. Never forget that day

[MeBenHalpin]

Niall Quinn was so key in that Republic equaliser flicking the ball in the space behind to the two centre halves, Robbie's run was perfect and he did the rest.

[Trulyloyale]

yeahhhhhh , anyone who fucks the pathetic german wooden legs is my hero ....;-) !!

Fuck germany and kraut scums !

Well done Robby ))))) !!!!

[gunninlinguist]

Pity we couldnt make it to the last WC. Would have made some more historic moments for sure. Ah well Armenia Tuesday. Draw and we're in the playoffs. Again...

[MrFeckinEejit]

I was there - behind the goal, and I couldn't believe it went in. But it did, and the rest was history. Keane and Quinn are legends but lets not forget how hard Damien Duff worked that day - he really established himself on the world stage and let every one know just what a quality player he is

[MeBenHalpin]

@MrFeckinEejit Damien Duff really did excell in that tournament and its great how nearly 10 years on, he is still huge part of the Republic's quest to reach another major tournament, which i think they will, after being so badly cheated by the French two years ago.

[Maquiladora95]

"Look at these scenes, just look at these scenes!" Nice try, Motty, but you're no Barry Davies.

[jaqqqqqqattack]

Germany was SO lucky at that World Cup, they managed not to lose this game somehow and then they beat the USA despite the US really deserving to win.

[gunninlinguist]

@jaqqqqqqattack

Yeah I remember that game. Germany scored early on and USA came back and hit the woodwork like 5 times. It was a strange world cup really...

[infinteuniverse]

World class player. Glad to have him playing for LA Galaxy. What a goal he scored today in our regional chamions league today. He could have had a double, but the ref disallowed his second goal for an "offsides position"

[TheeFrostyy]

@infinteuniverse Robbie Keane is absolutely nowhere near world class.

[alexnzxVersion2]

@TheeFrostyy please... if keane was english people would be calling him world class, keane is a legend.

[ThePerewinkle]

hahah , the whole of Ireland went mad right at that moment.

[HerrAirburst]

That Kahn conceeded I mean.

[HerrAirburst]

I remember seeing this goal when I was nine and everybody going mental! It was the only goal conceeded in that WC apart from in the final.

[fiendishfreddie]

That's a beautiful thing! Tears to my eyes!

[mick9mick]

those were the days :)

[aidgeen]

wheres that kind of football gone now??? not dull and lacking commitment here

[tubsandtiles3]

I will remeber this day forever, as a 12 year old watching this with the rest of my primary school, the place erupted

[TakeoffPower]

Oh my god its Mick McCartey

[thegame6929]

Lol 7.30pm German time, I remember being in a bar in Ireland watching this at 6.30am in the morning so I think our friend in New York is correct about 1.30 am there.

[StrawbsShadow]

@thegame6929 @mattsobr1993 But it wasn't on in Germany? I watched it in school at the time.. Fairly sure we weren't there at 6.30 in the morning :P

[McGovP]

@StrawbsShadow same here man :P

[jdkit]

@thegame6929 . your definitley wrong. i was in my english exam in my leaving cert. none of the games kicked off that early.

[mattsobr1993]

Well that's a lie, because this match kicked off at 7.30pm in Germany, meaning it would have been 1.30pm in new York. Telling lies to make it sound nostalgic?

[floodychild]

@mattsobr1993 No this match was an early kickoff. I was doing my exams in school so I missed the second half. So I'm sure he's being honest.

[michealbren]

@mattsobr1993 He's not telling lies, it was an afternoon game kid, fact! Was doing my English junior cert exam, remember calculating the right time to ask to go to the toilet to get the half time and full time score and the score midway through the second half as well, Germany's only an hour ahead of Ireland not 6 hours so it couldnt have kicked off in Germany at 7.30 PM. Google it, wikipedia it, do whatever ya want... was an afternoon kick off....

[Ihaveaids2]

@michealbren i remember it well. English Junior cert exam n the afternoon. Just heard the scream and wondered what the fuck was going on. Great Day.

[sbaker12]

fremember watching this in new york city in the wee hours of the morning...as an irish-american this was a good tourtament for me as the americans mad ethe quarters and ireland made the round of 16, fully deserving to go to the last 8 aas they truly were better than spain on that day-.but when ur a small country liek ireland you cant afford to miss penalty's against spain-still wonder what would ahve happened if, Roy Keane, who at the time was undoubtedly the worlds greates def mid. hadnt quit

[richybaz]

Robbie Keane..despite all the criticism, is still one of the best ever to wear an Irish Shirt.. A True Legend and a great Captain...Keane abú

[roseramirez69]

YEAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! what a moment this was.

[Falsify23]

I was visiting ireland from america in 2002 and I had the privalege of watching this goal from an Irish pub. I will never have a better memory. Watching your country get behind him was amazing. I will always be a fan of ireland! From an American.Only 1 Keano :)

[michealbren]

@Falsify23 well there was two Keano's actually! :-/ no offence intended!

[MrIrishrover2011]

mick mc carthy is a ballbag

[Skyhighblu]

this was my second world cup after i became a superfan and i about died during this whole tournament!!! this was classic fuckin play ladies and gentlemen 

[LFCiaran1307]

was watchin this in school the lot of us got te go to the hall to watch it and when germany scored some idiots cheered cause they thought ireland were in white haha , we were goin mental when keane scored even tho i was only 7

[rockeee]

That was the week of my 21st, and my cousin came back to the table with a round of drinks just as Robbie scored..all the pints smashed on the floor but none of us cared, we were dancing in it!! Great times, am lucky to have have remembered all of Irelands World Cups so far. :)

[PokerVT1]

keane and duff were awesome that world cup

[MeBenHalpin]

@PokerVT1 I agree and its great how nearly 10 years on they still continue to play huge part in the Republic's quest to reach major final.

[wonderboysam]

@PokerVT1 DDD DAMIEN DUFF DIZZINESS!

[bconway9]

This is one of my fondest ever school memories, 300 of us in the school gym waching this on the big screen. When Keane scored everyone went mad even the headmaster was jumping up and down like a mad man. Good luck in L.A

[SeanWhelan53]

mick mccarteys face lol :)

[DaithiOHeanna]

@SeanWhelan53 one of the best replays of a manager ever

[SeanWhelan53]

@DaithiOHeanna yeah :)

[Ronandude]

Probably the greatest moment of my life.

[TheRamajamers]

what a great Manager Mc Carthy was for us, he will be back someday!

[CeltiC15]

Best moment ever!

[LibertyBhoy]

Roll On Euro 2012 !!!!

[DowneyKid1]

I remember this, Word got through that Germany was up 1-0, I was in my primary school classroom & we begged our teacher to put the last few minutes on for us on the radio, and after much persuasion she eventually did.. within 20seconds of us finding the station Keano struck with the equilizer and the whole classroom erupted.. its funny looking back now, but my god, what a magical moment! Truely proud to be Irish!

[aceyjh]

i remember that night. i was in korea and i saw a bunch of irish guys at night singing "Robbie Keane Robbie Keane!!" what a night

[MrJohnnyInterista]

I have always loved Robbie Keane's cowboy style of celebrating goals! Hang on, Robbie! Your time hasn't yet expired!

Best wishes for Ireland and Irish people from Serbia! :-)

[aidy93gib]

Robbie Keane greatest ever goal!!

[hankeyj84]

Mick McCartneys open mouth reaction to the goal is priceless... :) lol

[CometRacer007]

irish ar great at football

[fdppqpaew]

ireland are a dreadful nation, who cares about this goal.

[JR2008JR]

@fdppqpaew hmmmm, ireland fan's perhaps you fucking idiot.

[fdppqpaew]

@JR2008JR but irish people are drunks and nob heads and potatoe fuckers, why would they care about their shit football team

[stonersid]

@fdppqpaew you insult the world with your mere existence, pls die slowly!

[SBXXChampions]

@stonersid Ireland insults the world by their existence? I've never heard so much bull shit in my life. You're the fucking insult. You fucking hypocrite.

[stonersid]

@SBXXChampions i think you misread what i said. i made no insult towards anyone , or any nationality, i was merely wishing an idiot an early death

[SBXXChampions]

@stonersid But you don't wish death on anyone. Only if they severely injured or even killed a family member or friends of your's.

[phuckweed]

@fdppqpaew I'm Irish and I found this comment hilarious to be honest!!! It's so stupid you have to laugh at it! fdppqpaew you're such a troll ... would you ever get off the computer, finish wanking and squeezing your spots and go get a girlfriend!! Or any friend for that matter... actually, maybe you should just find yourself a potato.

[RugbyPredictions]

@fdppqpaew And i suppose you would say that to an irish persons face ?

[CometRacer007]

@fdppqpaew  u pussy

[07adamb]

@fdppqpaew fuck you asshole

[Shaftsus]

Ireland were so much better than Germany in this game

[rapid37]

@Shaftsus Ireland is always better than Germany and you'll never beat the Irish. Respect from Turkey.

[Shaftsus]

@rapid37 : )

[buttercrunch1000]

[AMember2]

Jon Motson made this goal 5000x better. LOL.

[keano6t9]

I was there!!! Up the top with my dad and uncle!

[djbillybop]

I was behind that goal with Vinney Tobin & Michael Hickey some Feeling when robbie scored

[wingforward7]

Look at these scenes....just look at these scenes!!

[Horsehoundable]

Ah brilliant! My old man let me take the day off school that day and we all watched the match in my next door neighbours house with all my uncles. I've never seen so many grown men cry! Great memorys of that World Cup

[faganface94]

@TheChris370 and....how does that work?

[dinkthroughball]

i will always think highly of robbie keane for that goal, no matter how much he has annoyed me at times

[dbcastles1]

i was very luck to be there at that game, my word it was absolute euphoria....
