People are remembering where they were 16 years ago for Robbie Keane's famous goal
Ireland fans will remember the 2002 World Cup for two things.
One of them is the Saipan incident, the other is Robbie Keane's famous goal against the Germans.
It was 16 years ago today that Keane latched on to Niall Quinn's header and stuck it in the net past Oliver Kahn.
"Look at these scenes! Just look at these scenes!"

16 years ago today. What a moment! #COYBIG pic.twitter.com/StTl3M15qV
With the 2018 World Cup just over a week away - a tournament Ireland won't be participating in - people have been remembering where they were when Keane scored one of Ireland's most famous goals.
I missed most of the game as I was in a job interview. Ran out after and found a pub and saw the goal. Didn't get the job but didn't care after the goal!

Was behind that goal going ape-shit in the stands with the rest of the world it seemed like - locals driving around flying irish flags out of car windows and beeping horns like crazy afterwards was something special! š®šŖš

Only 2 players put the ball past Oliver Kahn in that tournament. One was Robbie Keane, the other was O FenƓmeno also known as The Brazilian Ronaldo. https://t.co/Bc7LEfrmZa

Seeing as we're feeling nostalgic, we might as well enjoy the famous Ireland goal against Germany.
Step up, Shane Long.
