The World Cup Final is SET, and the drama is absolutely off the charts!

Welcome back to Green With Envy – your home for the biggest World Cup reaction. In this massive Episode 5, host Graham O'Toole sits down in our Dublin studio with former West Ham and Ireland international goalkeeper Darren Randolph and former Ipswich and Ireland midfielder Alan Judge to break down a chaotic set of semi-finals and look ahead to the ultimate showdown.

We’re talking Spain vs Argentina!

First up, the lads dissect Spain's 2-0 masterclass over France. Was it Spanish brilliance or a complete tactical disasterclass from Didier Deschamps? Alan’s pre-tournament favourites have made the final, but the lads ask: is Fabian Ruiz the most underrated midfielder on the planet? Plus, Darren shares what it was actually like going toe-to-toe with prime Spain’s Xavi, Iniesta, and Busquets midfield back in New Jersey.

Then, things get spicy as we react to Argentina vs England. "Argentina wanted a war from the very start!" The lads break down the sheer hostility on the pitch, whether Jordan Pickford could have done better for Enzo's goal, and how Thomas Tuchel's late substitutions couldn't prevent Lautaro Martinez from booking La Albiceleste's ticket to the final.

If that’s not enough, we react to the "bizarre" 25-minute Super Bowl-style Half-Time Show concept (featuring Shakira, Justin Bieber, and BTS) and build the ULTIMATE Combined XI of the finalists. Emi Martinez or Unai Simon? Yamal or Messi? The debates get heated!

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?
