Good match enjoyed that just a pity Ger Canning is so awful on the mic.

Yes, soccer commentary is all about the silences. You don't have to ramble on and on.

Yis all know it's on other channels too??

I couldn't find the remote control!

It's his third clanger in last four international games.

Best in the world apparently  ::)

Spain looked like real live contenders in fairness, if they get rid of the dodge in goals obviously..

He needs to stop bumping into Ramos = concussion every time.

When you're up against the best it's difficult to concentrate!

Yeah, Ronaldo (rightly) taking the plaudits has distracted a lot of people from the fact that Portugal didn't actually win and were comprehensively outplayed for large portions of the match. Costa looks in great shape.

Does Nani not make the Portugal squad these days he's gotta be a couple of years younger than Ronnie?

How is Quaresma still there? Seems like he's been around for yonks

Both Spain and a Portugal to hammer the rest in their group, with 3 goals Ronaldo is still a good price at 5/2 for top scorer! Generally 6/7 goals wins it

Funny, I get the plaudits but Ronaldo was poor in open play, scored a pen, a fluke and a peach of a free kick. Spain were the better side and definitely have more balance to them. That strike  :o

The World Cup, although played by professional athletes is probably the most amateur of all sporting  competitions.

Dougal Maguire

Without having to think too hard did he not create the penalty, and did he not also,very unselfishly, hand a certain goal on a plate to a team mate, who missed it? I don't particularly like him, but to try and pick holes in his performance last night is pure nonsense in my opinion.
Careful now
