I doubt it! I watched the Italy game from 1994 last night. Very good performance. Paul McGrath was brilliant and Babb, Townsend and Sheridan also played very well. 
I watched the Holland game the night before. Great win but rode our luck with the Dutch coming close a number of times and Shay Given getting away with dragging down Van Nistlerooy after Staunton's mistake.

Do they show the full match on RTE? 

Is there a schedule of other games coming up? Would like to see WC2002 again particularly the Spain match 
It would damage this forums' reputation

A lot of games on Eir sport. Rte showed 1 hour highlights on Thursday night as part of the Rte sports classics. TG4 have full games on Friday night.

Obviously didnt watch it closely enough or the replays.
Given never laid a hand on him.
Obstruction at best, clumsy at worst.

Is obstruction in the box still an indirect free-kick? You never see it given.

Eir changed this and deleted the games but I have had a look and now there are more games there  again  https://www.eirsport.ie/gold

There’s no doubt it should have been a penalty. We were blessed.

We should have lost that game 3 or 4-0.  Bit like the Germany 2015 game.  They missed everything and we took our chance.  We played better in 2001 compared to 2015 though.

I forgot how close they came to scoring at the end. Hamilton didnt seem too bothered by the ball just missing the post by a geehair from Kluivert and Hasselbaink I think it was in injury time.  We had an awful habit of conceding late goals under McCarthy. I was convinced it was going to happen again even though it would still have qualified us for the playoff.

Crazy to think in 2009 if we had held on to beat Italy in Croke Park we still wouldn't of automatically qualified unless Italy lost at home to Georgia (Italy won with a last min goal but had qualified already) and we beat montenegro

Still would of went down as one of the great days in Irish football

What about the games before the 94 World Cup:

Beating the Germans 2-0 in Germany.
And the Dutch 1-0 away.
