By the way, when he says this would be the greatest sporting event in Irish history...

What's your top five, Eddie?

I'm just coming here.

You're obviously very au fait with Irish sporting events.

Give us your top 10.

Give us your top five.

What does come to mind, though?

But I think Croke Park you can afford to make the tickets cheaper.

Yeah.

Amazing story over in Australia, drama.

You kind of suspect there'll be a movie about this at some stage, I would think, when things calm down.

Five Iranian female footballers have defected.

The Asian Women's Cup is on in Australia at the moment.

Iran are participating.

Five players led by their captain have been formally granted protection in Australia.

They are currently in what's called a safe house operated by the Australian Federal Police.

The operation, it's been called an operation, occurred after Iran's final match against the Philippines.

So basically police assisted the five players in leaving the hotel

on Monday, and that was only discovered when the team sat down for their scheduled dinner on Monday that five players had left the hotel.

This had been sort of brewing for a few days.
