In 2002, Ireland narrowly managed to qualify for the World Cup in Japan and South Korea. After recovering from an injury, the erratic captain and star player Roy Keane [Éanna Hardwicke] joins the Irish squad in Saipan. The facilities fall far short of expectations, but coach Mick McCarthy [Steve Coogan] tries to make the best of it. Keane cannot reconcile himself with McCarthy's training methods and management, which leads to increasing tension, partly due to media attention. Coogan is perfect as McCarthy, but Hardwicke lacks intensity. Entertaining, but not very exciting. The key diplomatic role of the wives is, however, interesting.
