- An immensely entertaining WC qualifier with France and Ireland battling it out. Keane locks horns with a familiar face in Zinedine Zidane and the likes of Vieira, Wiltord and Henry.
Keane naturally wasn't fazed by the occassion and despite facing a stacked midfield of Makelele, Vieira & Zidane, and playing in an industrious yet primarily attacking midfield of A.Reid, D. Duff & K. Kilbane, Keane was one of the standout performers in the game.
Republic of Ireland - S. Given, S. Carr, R. Dunne, K. Cunningham, J. O'Shea, R. Keane, K. Kilbane, D. Duff, A. Reid, C. Morrison, R. Keane
Manager - Brian Kerr
France - Grégory Coupet, Jean-Alain Boumsong, William Gallas, Lilian Thuram, Willy Sagnol, Claude Makélélé, Patrick Vieira, Vikash Dhorasoo, Zinédine Zidane, Sylvain Wiltord, Thierry Henry
Manager - Raymond Domenech

Keane had an ability that dumb football enthusiasts could not fully appreciate. He was a very technical footballer who had so much time on the ball, a true sign of a great player. His ability to anticipate where the play would develop, spot a wayward pass and coerce a team into making a mistake was truly world class. It's why United dominated possession statistics (particularly when Paul Scholes couldn't tackle to save his life). It's also the reason why United won so much, you can't really lose if the other team can't get the ball. His passing was impeccable. He would play the simplest of passes that were exactly what was needed to develop the next attack. That's skill, make no mistake about it.
Perfect. Couldn't have said it any better. He could read the game like no other. He was always two steps ahead that cannot be taught. He was absolutely world class, you got to play the game to truly appreciate its beauty.
And hes so underrated because he got a red card every once in a while
@@Shnsuxnduxnjdndx The fuck? Keane was never underrated. Stop using that word and disrespecting Keane. He is Ireland's best ever player and United's most successful captain, and you call him UNDERRATED?
Kids nowadays.
Damn Keane was way past his prime
Scary he was still the best on the pitch .
You can see he knows it's going to have to be him to stop Henry, Zidane & Wiltord each time they break, next level aggression & determination
Exactly ...he knows where they have to be stopped in their tracks. If this is not a lesson in how to anchor midfield
What sets Keane apart is that he did the simple things REALLY well. His tackling and passing is unmatched really.
Yup - bang on. I love that they included a clip of him taking a throw in too, just to prove he could nail them as well 😅
You did see that his tackle on henry failed and that he got a yellow for elbowing him right…unmatched my ass.
His tackling nor passing was unmatched. But it was really good. As was his positioning, dribbling, goalscoring ability for a CM, etc etc. He was unexceptional in every way apart from two things: consistency and leadership.
@@donaldvanvliet9039 what were you watching? Henry elbowed Keane in the head!
@@donaldvanvliet9039 you realise this is not Roy in his prime? He retired from playing at the end of this season
Watching this video makes you realise how world class Roy Keane was. 👏 awesome player. I miss having players like this at United
Mediocre now .
He's just doing his job
@@tomquinn9887 what are you like Quinner
Keane can deal with anyone, because his timing, read the game, stamina, mentality are great. He is one of the best defensive-offensife midfielder
Forgot how good Roy Keane was. He should of getting more credit. What a fantastic player
how could you forget
Wasn't English that's why
Only thing he's not getting credit for is the countless dumbasses calling him a 'DM' and saying he's underrated.
Not a bad Irish team at all. Vast majority were in the Premier League. Now we've 2 Premier League starters.
We used to have players at big clubs. Not anymore though
Ireland allways the underdogs with how small a country you are bro. Tough team tho allways have been
Two Keanes, what a team
Might be that the amount of international options available nowadays, the standard is so high because the best plays from each nation are cherry picked for the prem teams now.
Dont worry with Ireland doing the same as England now and picking up half of Africa you'll have a bigger pool a fked up country but a bigger pool non the less
Imagine Keane and zidane in the same midfield, scary stuff
It almost happened. Blackburn tried to sign both of them.
There have been faster, more skillful and prolific goalscoring midfielders But boy Roy certainly had the basics down to a fine art. Passing, control, tackling, timing, great reading of the game and second to none in terms of commitment, passion and motivating his teammates to play better. What a captain and leader. Being a Cork man too doesn't hurt.
What do you mean by skillfull? His ability to read were the play would develop, anticipating a wayward pass was world class. That is Skill, he had bags of it. Stupid people think a bunch of mindless step overs that lead to nothing is what encapsulates skill. Keane had ability that dumb football enthusiast could not fully appreciate. He was very technical and had so much time on the ball a sign of a truly great player. That's skill, make no mistake about it.
@@michaelunderhill8847 Keane Zidane who is better than them now
And he could score as well. Remembering those box to box play of his. Just like Paul Scholes on their heyday.
True Fighter, warrior, commander in chief. Always want to win the ball back at all cost. Passing is simple and accurate. His forward dribbling is also way more effective than most modern overpaid man united players. Every teammate dreams. A one of a kind. Absolute LEGEND.
most underrated world class player ever
Keane always had an outstanding read of the game - always alert and aware. Add a fair bit of composure and bravery, and you have a player who will have an influence in every game.
"A fair bit"
trolol 😅
Keane is certainly the most influential player of his generation. No-one could match his work ethic or leadership on and off the pitch. As a player he was also an absolute monster who was comfortable in his early days being a box to box goal scoring midfielder and equally at home later in his career as a more defensive player. He even played centre half in the CL and didn't the opposition forward a sniff. He was always a few seconds ahead!!!
Keane was way past it here & still the most important player on the pitch. Under appreciated for sure
It’s Ireland. Everyone was just more shit so of course he was more important than the rest.
@@fuckyoutube1999 Zidane, Henry, Sagnol, Thuram, Makelele, Wiltord, Vieira, Malouda, Dhorasoo, Robbie Keane, Duff all played in this match. I wouldn’t say any of them were shit, I reckon the majority would say they were the complete opposite 🤦🏻♂️😂😂
@@foxxyyairo From Ireland. Keane was ander herrera with more anger
@@fuckyoutube1999 Lol, comparing the most successful Man United captain ever to a bog standard Spaniard who barely was in the first team. Yeah, nah buddy. Go back and try harder next time. Keane was without question world class in his prime.
@@fuckyoutube1999 haha how many PL titles did ander Herrera captain?? I can’t believe you actually wrote that, you clearly know nothing about football
The best player Ireland has produced. Simple as that.
No McGrath
Not even the best Keane

Have you seen Giles at his best.

Wow Thanks for This video, now I understand why this guy expects extremely high quality football ⚽️.
Hahaha
7:38 “pa pa pa pa pa, pa pa pa pa! Roy Keane!”
We took it for granted that was a great era in the premiere league especially for a United supporter, only English premier league team captain ever to win the triple . And what a Captain he was .
What a player Roy Keane was. After the United split he was heavily linked with Everton. Was absolutely gutted when he ended up at Celtic. Would have been an icon for us at that time and could have been the difference in some massive games for us
Roy Keane: Its the simple things. Control, calm, simple through balls, pass.
Keane still the best midfielder in premier league history
As arsenal supporter, Roy Keane was my childhood villain. But wow what a player. Nearly spotless with his passing, selfless, determined, excellent reader of play. Nothing spectacular (although he was capable of it), but always the right action. Sorry, but congratulations fellow gooners, Declan Rice is a Roy Keane regen!!
He was everywhere!
He’s so good at just nicking the ball then doing a simple pass forward even when he’s under pressure
Keane was functioning better when under pressure
@@mskidiKeane is the word "pressure" personified.
Very composed and unreal at breaking up play!! Bursting a lung to make recoveries and no problem leaving his mark on someone to stamp his authority on the match!! Some of his sliding challenges are top class
greatest cdm in history.
One of if not the greatest United midfielder ever, nothing fancy just does the job
Ya he really was brilliant although I feel he was a lot more technical then people give him credit for I feel. His passing and use of both feet were top class.
Greatest captain of united
Been a United fan from cork it’s hard for me to disagree but Bryan Robson edges it for me by a whisker! Old enough to have watched both all through their United careers. Both in their prime at the same time would’ve been special!
Keane in possession of the ball second to none,off the ball second to none
anything was possible when Roy was on the pitch. For a small country of 5 million, Roy kept us competitive against teams with 10x 20x the talent pool. We were lucky to see this era of football, itll never be the same, nature of the game has changed from sport to business. sad really. thanks for the memories Roy!
Absolute class, the reading of the play is beautiful.
That Ireland team was all about Keane... The abbreviation 'ROI', enough said...
Lol never noticed that before and roi means king in French
Keane was levels above his international teammates here even at this age only the greats have that.
Keane wat a legend 👏
Wow, this was such a physical and aggressive match compared to some international games today.
Exactly, young adults don't understand why we complain about players being too friendly on the pitch. There is a sort of 100% fighting mentality that you just don't see often nowadays, specially in the biggest teams.
I have a feeling that was one of the reasons Leicester won a couple of years ago over Man C, United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, all huger budget teams.
And I also have a feeling that's the reason Mourinho hasn't been successful, every single manager that followed on his previous sackings has had the exact same problems with the same players. Look at midfielders at Tottenham, Winks still the main man, look at United, how much has Pogba been used after him? This is not to say it's his job to manage all that.
All boils down to one thing, consistent fighting mentality.
Remember the whole focus is on a certain R. Keane! Might skew perceptions a tad...
Had Keane been born some 1000 years ago, he'd be some kind of mythological being in Celtic/Viking legends. That man is the epitome of the warrior spirit. Never give up, never surrender, never show any sign of weakness. Nothing else than victory is acceptable.
It's one thing kicking a ball and acting violent in a sport where violence isn't allowed, another thing fighting against people who fight back.
@@ronniep9272 He only sits in a chair and talks football he is not God
Rooney has said Keane was the best passer of the ball he's seen, all class of 92 say he was best player they played with as did nearly all other players including Stam. He's the reason mainly why Manchester United won so much
The old war dog still had a nasty bite even if he wasn't as mobile at this point. Still a very good player even if he was diminished a bit by his hip and knee issues.
There is only one fate for an old war dog, euthanasia
@@_ajamad Bet ur some buzz at party's lil man
@@J.C.180 His invites get lost in the post.... 😅😅
You can't teach 90's intensity of games. Everyone was playing for the badge still.
Keano's F'in magic, he wears a magic hat...
Some performance from an aging Keane.Even at that late stage of his career the bigger the game the more Keane stood out.Just look at that midfield he was up against.7 years earlier he was up against Zidane,David's ect.. and got United to the Champions league final.Best and most important player for Ireland and United from 93-03 at United and from 93-06 for Ireland.Prime Keane was the perfect all round midfielder that never been bettered in premiership history.If only he was English.
Good points,indeed but I think Paul McGrath from the late 80(88 Euro's and 1990&1994 World Cup's) demonstrated. What a Gem he was to Man U briefly,Aston Villa and Ireland!..But In this particular game Keane was phenomenal!
In Roy Keane and Paul McGrath us Irish and Manchester United were utterly spoilt to have two of the best players that the Premier league ever had
Wouldn't put McGrath on the same level but he was a good player
Roy Keane Legend 👏❤️👍
It's his job.
And he's one of the best ever at it.
Keane: I'll tackle anyone and anywhere
French team: who will tackle Keane
😆
Keane could play this good with Ireland. So you know hes a top player
One of the best performances ever
Living legend without a doubt one of the best ever
KEANE BEST DEFENDER IN THE WORLD ON THIS SHOWING.
One of the all time proactionary defenders in the midfield. When he had his legs under him, Keane would break most offensive plays without even marking up close. Fast, deliberately furious, with an instinctive understanding of offensive movement, he would herd attackers where they didnt want to be. And of course, his offensive contributions were not incosiderable themselves, on top his game, and that always came on the biggest stage, Keane was the single most important clog in ManUs offense.
Respect Keane
What a team Ireland had then.. You can see Roy knows who the danger people are and he is cancelling them out .. Andy Reid Kevin Kilbane Roy Keane O'shay and summariser Nial Quinn all played for my team Sunderland during our IRISH DAYS
Put Keane in any team and see how the team finds its balance and fluidity on its own.
ROY THE BEST PLAYER EVER !!
Made more tackles, interceptions and passes in this game than Fred has in his while career!!
fred has had a better international career than keane

This France team is all time most complete team in the history of the game
Wasn’t this his last ever game for Ireland? I remember watching it live. He was brilliant that day.
Yes it was and a good performance to sign off despite Ireland losing.
Disastrous qualifying, to go from play off position to not even make the play offs, remember those games against Israel then a boring draw against Switzerland, why didn’t Keane play in that Switzerland game
@@conorsmith8551 most likely injured, knees were shot, retired at the end of this season from playing.
Alot of miles up on the clock here, respect to Mr keane
I love how the name in the graphics changed from REP to ROI as Keane protested during the break that he was holding up the entire squad by himself😂😂
His positioning was always so good.
Keane had some engine 🇮🇪
Keane said that Zidane was the best player he faced - he said not only was he technically great but he was nasty as well - he said that as a compliment bty.
Terrific footballer
7:36 commentator was on beat
Fans: "You are great" Roy:"Thanks but thats my job"
It’s rinsed brother , joke doesn’t work anymore
Wouldn't be Roy's first time to dominate zidane or viera but to play that well against both at the same time he deserves a statue in old Trafford the Aviva stadium and outside sky sports
Haha what a delusional and ubsurd statement, Roy Keane can't carry Zidane's socks, in fact all of great Britain's player's combined wouldn't lace Zizou's shoes 🤣 🤷♂️🤗
@@zakmukhtar8672 Harsh. For me, Zidane is one of the greatest players ever, but Keane dominated him in the Stadio delle Alpi in 1999. He also played quite well in this game, so it's nonsense to say he couldn't compete with Zizou.
@@zakmukhtar8672 Keane is Irish, not British. I don't think Zidane enjoyed physical contests, and Keane dominated their individual match-ups.
Epicentre of energy, incredible how he was the driving force of a very good Irish team. Not many teams can boast of what Irish team did that night
It was a meat grinder
More interesting and technically much more advanced than many pl games. I watched full video and was on edge, yes it’s probably best parts but it covered full 93 minutes and intensity didn’t calm down
Ireland played ball going toe to toe with France 😢
Can't believe. Keane bodied Zidane in this encounter. Did Zizou even get a kick of ball near Keane? lol
Keane bodied every1 he came up against. Best midfielder the premierships ever had
Did no one tell Ireland they were supposed to head towards the opposing teams goal ?
This was an absolute masterclass in - passing backwards
It's really depressing to watch considering how far away our current batch is from this, way past his best version of Keane.
Ya I was just thinking how many good players we had then,compared to todays lads
And there was some very good passages of play v a seriously strong French team
@Layen Gallagher Rubbish. The best player of all time is still playing today, and the top goalscorer of all time is still playing today.
@@clon76 Both played in La Liga, known for its big gulf between Euro level teams and those beneath. Also, way more minor league minnow countries to bag goals against these days.
@@thepublichousebrandcom They bagged nine Champions Leagues between them. The cream of Europe fared no better than the minnows against them.
Roy kean was a very good player zz for me is second best ever
We think today’s France team is good, Mbappe, Kante, Benzema…but that doesn’t touch Zidane, Viera, Henry 😵
Mbappe would walk into that team
Makelele Viera Zidane is some midfield
Yes. France had amazing combination of power athleticism and artistry.
Aime jacquet built a team while other frech sides were a collection of individuals.
@Layen Gallagher oh stop being blinded by nostalgia.. benzema is amazing, kante is a workhorse and mbappe has achieved so much at such a young age..
@Layen Gallagher Exactly. People say it's nostalgia, but it's not! The difference in talent is night and day.
Keane > zidane everytime. Criminally underrated
😂😂😂😂 in an imaginary world. He can't even carry Zizou' shoes. GTFH
Just like the problem at Manchester United, Ireland lost the mindset of their old players like roy
Imagine having a cm pairing of Vieira and Zidane. Absolutely no surprise they were no1 team for the early 2000s!
im sure that is why henry had to handball vs ireland in wc qualifiers is it?
@@FTGouldey Not sure if you can read but he said EARLY 2000s.
@@FTGouldey get over it ya bitter twat it wasn’t pre planned it was an instinctive reaction and if an Irish player had done the same thing and you qualified as a result you would have been perfectly happy and you know it
@@gb1967. how would I have been happy if an Irish player got away with that?
@@FTGouldey okay I’ll put it differently to highlight the obvious: you would have soon enough dropped the moral high ground when the realisation of qualifying for the World Cup sunk in. Don’t try to kid us on you would be calling for a replay or some other bollocks. It was a completely unintentional act, he didn’t break anyones legs and your a very naive soul if you would expect him to own up to it and call a foul on himself
Pitty the save Shay Given made from Zidanes freekick wasn't in there (pretty sure it was this game) I remember seeing Zidane say somewhere around that time that as soon as he hit it he was so sure it was in he'd nearly started celebrating, couldn't believe that Given got to it it and it was one the best saves he'd ever seen.
It was a cracking save indeed and you are right, it was from this game. I couldn't include it as Keane wasn't involved in that passage of play unfortunately.

You can watch it here at 1.10 though (Vieira's compilation from the same match).
Kean legend
Roy Keane, Roy Keane, Roy Keane, Roy Keane, Roy Keane, Roy Keane, Roy Keane....
1:0 for France
If Keane had played in that France team, he would have a million times more impact than Zidane. This man was a freak of nature. He once played with a torn ACL. The man won matches weeks before the actual match because the opposition had nightmares just thinking about him.
Keane was Great. But don't be fucking silly and compare him to Zidane .. cheers

You probably have not lived thru to watch him play. Every person, love him or hate him, wanted him and rated him very highly in his heydays.
Only stupid Gen Z kids wouldl say he is underappreciated or uNdeRRaTeD
07:37 the commentator joins in with the chant
Back when this was a sticky game for the International powerhouses......by sticky I mean literally the last game they'd wanted to play, how times change
Back when tackling was aloud
Watching this, you can see why Keane is so disgusted watching United players these days. Tenacity and aggression, you don't have to be the most gifted player to just have a go and get stuck in. I know the game has changed but jesus, you can feckin stick a challenge in
That French team got to the World Cup final
Immense
That's his job. And he does it well.
That's why Utd got him. Fergie wanted a lad who cud go box to box , tackle and pass it 10 yards. Done. And the value of him popping in 14-15 goals a season too.
Miss the old landsdowne road.
That Irish team look strong
Lol I never knew Keane and Vieira faced each other in international football.
You don't get players like him anymore. He'd be sent off within the first 15 minutes in the modern game. It may be a fair criticism to say today's defense's lack passion, but its more about discipline and technical ability. This kind of attitude has gone from being viewed as heroic, to dangerous and (technically) illegal. Frightening to think just how many goals Henry could score today if this is what he faced on a regular season
Watching this, you'd forget how the physicality of the game has almost completely disappeared. A few of those tackles I expected the French players to be rolling around on the ground for a couple of minutes but in fairness they just got up and got on with it. The game is much more technical now but the players spend so much time feigning injury its pathetic.
He’s just doing his job
I was at the game
Legs and hips are gone here. His body is destroyed from playing at an absurd level for Ireland and United. Will need at least one if not two hip replacements as he gets older, according to his doctors. What a will to win
Which pixel is Keane?
