A fantastically obscure one from the 1984 Kirin Cup
This has been posted a million times but watching it again tonight made me go all Green.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Which lead to one of my all-time favourite goals from Ireland.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Adn finally my favourite Irish goal EVER from one of the greatest Ireland matches ever.
Mark's nonchalance is staggering.

Who are the commentators on the ESPN games? Macedonia 1-1 away and Romania 1-1 at home. The Cork lad in particular I can't tell if he's taking the **** out of Americans (in the onion bag) or out of the Cork accent.
All bar 13 games from the 2000s...

Does anyone know anything about that Brazil game in 1981 against the LoI select? Can't find any mention of it anywhere on the internet. It's not a full international, although the TV caption calls us Eire, and it doesn't appear on wiki's decent list of LoI XI games. It appears to be in Brazil. Must be some story about that?! I heard Zico's name a couple of times, so presumably he played. What was our team?

That annoying whine is Tommy Smyth (from Louth, not Cork). He's a complete joke but ESPN still use him (he was on their panel with Michael Ballack during the European Championships this summer). He's lived in New York since the 60s and managed to get a football commentating gig during the 70s and 80s. Remarkably, he still knows next to nothing about the game but has made a career out of stupid cliches like "back of the old onion bag". The Guardian did a piece on him a few years ago "possibly the most hated football commentator in history".
The LoI XI lineup versus Brazil is available here. It was definitely a League of Ireland tour but I'm not sure who else they played at the time.
