    Jul 2 2026

    The World Cup knockout stages are finally here, and the giant killings have already begun! In this episode, host Graham O’Toole sits down in the studio with former Ireland internationals Darren Randolph and Alan Judge to dissect a chaotic round of fixtures.

    From Germany’s underwhelming tournament exit to Morocco’s historic, stunning victory over the Netherlands, the lads pull no punches. They also dive into the burning questions on every Irish football fan's mind: How would the Republic of Ireland have fared in this tournament? Can Shamrock Rovers' own Pico Lopes lock down Lionel Messi? And does anyone left in the tournament have the tactical firepower to match a completely free-flowing French side?

  • Green With Envy: Episode 3
    Jun 25 2026

    Former Ireland internationals Alan Judge and Darren Randolph sit back down with Graham for Episode 3 of "Green with Envy," our ultimate World Cup show! The lads are pulling no punches as they dive straight into the fallout of the opening round of fixtures.

    From England’s lacklustre draw against Ghana to whether Jordan Pickford truly has what it takes to guide the Three Lions to World Cup glory, we break down the biggest talking points in football. Plus, the tournament's biggest superstars have arrived—with Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappé, Harry Kane, and Cristiano Ronaldo all hitting the back of the net. But how on earth do teams stop Messi when he's in this form?

    We also unpack the week’s biggest controversies: L'Équipe’s polarizing take on Jeremy Doku leaving the Belgium camp for the birth of his child, and Jesse Marsch’s wild celebrations during Canada's massive 6-0 win over Qatar.

    Finally, the lads take us behind the scenes of the Republic of Ireland national team, sharing incredible insight into what it was really like surviving the infamous "bad cop, bad cop" regime under Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane.
