Here's Keith Tracy. Keith, good morning to you. Good morning, everybody. How are we? And Nicole, good morning to you. Good morning. We do have a stacked and packed show. We're going to talk, obviously, a lot of Stephen Doyle is going to be with us in about 15 minutes' time as well, live from Grenoble as we look ahead to tonight's game, France versus Ireland, which I understand from reading Gavin Cooney in the Irish Times this morning ate up a whole zero words in Le Keep yesterday, which, you know, give you an idea as to the appetite
How does the venue change affect the Ireland vs. Israel match?
As to what's going on there, obviously they're looking ahead to the Men's World Cup, but we'll get Stephen's impressions of all of that. It's a vital game, obviously, all on the line, and it's certainly not win or bust. Obviously, if they win the thing, we're straight through to the World Cup. If we draw or lose, we'll get what's been described as a favourable playoff against a team that...
we should have the better of it basically in a semi-final two legs into a final I think that's two legs as well so not home and holes bit of work to be done bit of work to be done the French are obviously very very good in the women's game also I thought they were brilliant against the Dutch the fighting qualities and talent that were on display were absolutely brilliant and I was saying to JD on Sunday on the Sunday show that I think the qualities the women have shown in the Ireland jersey the never say die attitude putting bodies on the line and don't get me wrong there's little sprinkles of quality in there as well that I really like with this Carla Wards squad so yeah really happy my head is telling me that the french game may be a bridge too far i have to be honest but i don't think i think the girls have earned the right to you know i don't think anybody's writing them off but i think they've earned the right to go they have a chance in there because they've upset the odds so often now and done so well that i wouldn't say i'd be shocked if they went in and beat the french i got something there but make no mistake about it it's a big mountain they've got to suggest that
it will be France that sort of a game you go and you sit back for 70 minutes yeah and then try a smash and grab ideally yeah you get them hopefully the French get into a rhythm where it's all a little bit easy ozy and it's left to right and not an awful lot of penetration and then you get to the magic number and all of a sudden you start throwing the kitchen sink and believe me a lot of people think I will if the if Ireland are going to do that and the French know it's coming they'll just raise their levels in the 75th minute and match Ireland it's very difficult to do that when you've been one pace for so long and you know I know I'm ifs, buts and maybes here but if you can get the French into a rhythm where they're comfortable and then all of a sudden go hell for leather
very very difficult to go against that type of current so that's what the Irish I imagine will be trying to spring and yeah let's say fingers and toes crossed yeah we'll see it's definitely got that vibe of this sort of like one off all the photographs the interviews over the last little while like a lot of this squad obviously have played at the World Cup so it'd be difficult to say that it's the most important game they've ever played but you know footballers always give you that cliche but the next game is the most important one even when it's no whatever but this one definitely is that
