Robbie Keane Q&A: ‘National team has been my second home’
Taking flak
“Listen, I have come to the realisation over playing for a number of years you can’t please everybody. But, at the same time, the same people after the games shake my hand and either want to get a photograph with me or ask me for an interview or want to speak to me after games. But that’s football. You are going to get criticised sometimes, but all I wanted to do was my best for the country, and I think I have done that. I have got no regrets whatsoever, but the outpouring of messages I received, it’s been incredible to be honest with you, and 67 goals in 145 caps — I think I did okay.”
