Episode 29 - What Is A Must Win Game?

I'm joined again by Mark Kennedy of Hawkeye Sidekick to discuss Stephen Kenny's 27 man squad to face Andorra and Hungary in two end of season friendlies, and his U21 counterpart Jim Crawford's 26 man squad who will line up opposite Switzerland, Australia, and Denmark, as well as going through the (few) highs and (many, many) lows for Irish players in the recently concluded 2020/21 season in England and Scotland.

Note: this episode was recorded before John Joe Patrick Finn Benoa and Ciaran Brennan withdrew from the U21 squad, and Peterborough's Sam Szmodics was called into the senior team
