On the eve of the 2002 FIFA World Cup, the Irish football team descended into chaos with the now infamous clash of egos between team captain Roy Keane (Éanna Hardwicke) and head coach Mick McCarthy (Steve Coogan). As the team prepare for the tournament, the pair’s intense rivalry and contrasting leadership styles draw them into an escalating war of wills that would transcend the game, divide public opinion and spark debate across Ireland and around the world.
A hugely enjoyable comedy drama of pride, loyalty and identity, with a great soundtrack.
