QUIZ: Can you name the starting 11 from our iconic match against Germany in the 2002 World Cup?

Rudi Kinsella

Ireland World Cup

You surely remember who scored anyway…

The World Cup is just around the corner, and we are absolutely living for it. The only thing that would make it better would be if Ireland were there, and preferably not getting hammered in every game.

This certainly wasn’t the case in 2002 anyway. We got out of our group, and were painfully unlucky not to make it to a quarter final. We lost on penalties to an excellent Spain team, and who knows what might have happened had we beat them… Let’s be honest, we probably would have won the World Cup.

We’re definitely over it, as you can tell…

But before we played Spain, we played Germany. Miroslav Klose put Rudi Voller’s side ahead in the 18th minute, but a spirited Irish side equalised in the dying moments of the game. What we wouldn’t give to have a moment like that this year…

Like we said, we’re definitely over it.

We’ve told you how the match went down, now all you have to do is tell us who played… Because it was such an iconic match, we’re only giving you three minutes to name Ireland’s starting 11. Good luck.
