When pundits and critics bemoaned the international break and the World Cup qualifier format, they should've at least thought of some of the results of this break, the backstories, and the possibilities of massive names missing out. There was Mitrovic sending Serbia to Qatar, then there's Portugal and Italy having to play out a playoff. There's the Man in the Mirror story, Ivory Coast crashing out of contention and African qualifiers being generally brutal, and much more.
On this week's episode, Fergal reflects on his experience at a full-capacity Aviva stadium watching Ireland play their part in Portugal's route to the playoffs, while possibly having a late winner harshly chalked off.
