TG4 WILL BE screening classic World Cup matches from the beginning of next month.
Ireland’s debut on the biggest stage of international football — against England at Italia ’90 — is the first game to be shown on 1 May, and there will be chances to look back at some memorable encounters each Friday evening throughout the summer months.
Other games to feature are the two World Cup meetings between Jack’s Army and Italy (in 1990 and 1994), as well as Argentina’s famous quarter-final win over England in 1986 and the final from the same year, between La Albiceleste — led by Diego Maradona — and West Germany.
More matches will be confirmed in June.
