The training camp dispute that caused Ireland's captain to withdraw from the 2002 World Cup squad will be the subject of" Saipan."
Who could have imagined that one of the most significant moments in British sporting history would be represented by the name of a secluded island in the northern Pacific Ocean?
Sports fans of a certain time will be transported back in time to the 2002 summer and the notorious bust-up that overshadowed the Republic of Ireland's preparations for the World Cup.
The basis for an upcoming movie will be the conflict between Roy Keane and Mick McCarthy, which divided a country and continues to be a source of suspense immediately.
Saipan, a film based on the events that led to Keane missing the game due to the public uproar between the group's captain and director, was directed by Glenn Leyburn and Lisa Barros D'Sa.
The famed former Manchester United midfielder may be portrayed by Éanna Hardwicke as McCarthy, played by comedian and actor Steve Coogan.
The movie is expected to be released in theaters this summer, and output is expected to begin immediately.
Manufacturers Macdara Kelleher and John Keville claimed that" a million comments have been written about what happened on that terrible week in 2002 on the little island of Saipan."
The feud between Roy Keane and Mick McCarthy will finally be revealed to the public next time, and why it was hailed as" the worst preparation for a World Cup campaign ever."
Keane and McCarthy forged a toxic alliance at a training station in Saipan, which they never recovered from when they were global colleagues.
In an exam, Keane expressed his dissatisfaction with the infrastructure ' normal and what he thought was a lackadaisical way to prepare for the World Cup.
McCarthy made a furious attack on the Ireland owner's credentials and abrupt departure soon before the game started, which led to McCarthy challenging Keane about his feedback.
Without Keane, Ireland advanced to the second round before being beaten out by Spain on sanctions, but with their star player on the team, they would have done better.
