This is an Irish Independent Podcast.
There is a downtown local 1 train to South Ferry approaching the station.
Please stand away from the platform edge.
Hey, welcome everyone. So one last dispatch from New York as we head towards the World Cup final here on Sunday. A big thanks, by the way, for all the messages. A lot of you, I think, have enjoyed the week's podcast over here and have been kind enough to mail in and say so. So we appreciate that. A lot of work went into it. Who knows? Based on that kind of reaction, they may let us travel to Euro 2028 in Dublin. Thanks again to the likes of Jonathan Wilson, Gav Marcotti, Johnny Glynn, John Duddy and Trinity Boxing Club, Carl and John at the Long Haul and the Westbury and several others who gave up their time and were really, really good all week. We appreciate it. Today, as we sign off, a little sample of little Italy in downtown Manhattan.
Dan McDonald was at Argentina, England. He was back in town now. And we met up with John Bruin for some good, strong Italian coffee and a little bit more England-Tuchel post-mortem chat, plus a look ahead to what could be remembered, we reckoned, as the most iconic moment in football history, if that's not overstating it, if Lionel Messi lifts a second World Cup trophy with Donald Trump. As ever, our football coverage is sponsored by Sky Sports and Sports Extra, which you can get on Sky TV or stream it now. So myself, Dan McDonald, and John Bruhn sat outside a lovely little Italian cafe and had some coffee. And, well, I first put it to John Bruhn. It had been maybe a decade, easily a decade, if not even a bit more, since I had seen him in 3D.
So he was a very nice sight for sore eyes.
I was trying to think the last time we met in Brazil at the World Cup. Is that right?
We met in 2012 in... Sopot.
A very famous night. Mr. Delaney was enjoying himself down the hill. And not Miguel. No. Miguel wasn't there, actually, and that's true. But John, whatever he's up to, hello. I think he's in your neck of the woods in London, actually.
So I hear, yes.
That's enough about him. It'll get legal. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And Dan McDonald, it's been mere hours since I saw you. Welcome back to the big city.
Yeah, good to be here, Joe. Thanks for minding my bag for the last couple of days. Really appreciate that. Good to catch up with you. Just sad you're going home. Must be one of the few people to come to the World Cup and not be around for a game.
Yeah, I'm exiting as everybody descends in the city, but I've had a great few days. Well, where do we want to start? We're still in the fumes of England 1, Argentina 2, I suppose, as we look ahead towards a very tantalising, interesting World Cup final. John, I can't help but notice you're English.
Yes. I'm not in denial about this. I am English. I'm prepared to accept that. I'm very happy to be English. I think a bit like Owen Farrell on the Lions tours.
You hang out with the Irish lads.
What is the purpose of Joe’s final New York dispatch and who joins him in Little Italy?
You want to be Irish. You're kind of a...
I have a lot of friends in Ireland that do a lot of work in Ireland, yeah. But unfortunately, I am English.
So bring us the feelings and the thoughts about Wednesday night now, Wednesday night.
Well, judging by my WhatsApp, very classic English response, off with the head. You know, like almost 19th century gallows. As soon as Thomas Tuchel went to those... Well, he called it three at the back. That wasn't three, was it? It was seven. That was an Irish three at the back. Exactly. Well, yeah. And when there's no out ball. And the thing is, I've seen England play that game before and it doesn't often work. And the weird thing is that Thomas Tuchel, that's not weird.
