When it comes to Kerry defenders, Marc Ó Sé is ranked as one of the best and his predictions on the biggest GAA matches is always. With a growing reputation of being one of the best pundits on GAAGO, he is never shy in giving his opinion.
Having been a mainstay in the Kerry defence for 14 years on route to picking up five All Ireland winners medals, Ó Sé like so many around the country, is finding Sunday's decider very hard to call.
He is pinpointing Armagh's defensive performance in being crucial in the result of Sunday's decider while also outlining how important the influence of the orchard counties manager Kieran McGeeney can be:
He will have these fella bouncing straight out of the traps. If he can contain the Galway forwards, he will feel he has the tools at the back to keep these fellas quiet (Galway forwards)
After 63 games, the 2024 All-Ireland SFC Final has produced a novel pairing, with @Armagh_GAA and @Galway_GAA poised to claim the Sam Maguire Cup!

Previous Armagh V Galway meetings
The two teams have been knocking on the door in recent years and have deservedly reached Sunday's decider. This years final will be the first since 2010 not to feature any of Dublin, Kerry or Mayo.
Since 2022 Armagh and Galway have clashed on three occasions in the championship. In 2022 Galway won an epic quarter-final on penalties. Last year Armagh edged Galway out by the narrowest of margins in the group stages while back in June the teams drew at Markievicz Park in Sligo.
So, it promises to be similarly tight and tense in Croke Park on Sunday. But as difficult it is to call a winner, the Kerry man did make a call on who'll be taking Sam home on Sunday night:
If the two teams perform like they can, I'd give Galway the nudge but I feel Armagh may get over the line.
Like so many of us outside the two counties involved, figuring out who will be taking home silverware is a tough task and Ó Sé is no different.
