Mad isn't it.

Germany, Spain,  France, Brazil - who between them have won 7 out of the last 8 world cups - haven't yet kicked a ball. Serious football teams like Portugal, Belgium, Uruguay haven't yet kicked a ball.

But here it's England's to lose.

If Germany, Spain,  France, Brazil was near the quality that they were when winning those tournaments you might have a decent argument.

Portugal are nothing serious going by their recent matches against a very average Irish team.

And England's form until running into a lower tier opponent yesterday, was shocking too.

First round form doesn't mean much. Senior hurling starts in the second round.

Argentina weren't that great when winning last years Copa America, stumbled over the line against Brazil in a low quality final and Colombia in the semi final on penalties in their last two matches yet it seems the hype they got from that trophy win has got to their heads.

Looks like England's World Cup to lose however with Southgate as manager they could be left disappointed again.

Good man 
Covering all bases there, if England win it you were right, if they don't you can blame Southgate and still come back here and tell us all you were right !

Definite pen you can't have a hold of someone's shirt like that in the box!

[Captain Obvious]

The Mexican crowd sure enjoyed that penalty miss/save.

Clear peno, Ray Houghton still arguing it wasn't.

The Cantwell doesn't interrupt these soccer boys anywhere near as much as she does our GAA pundits.

She's almost bearable here.

Almost.

Almost.

She doesn't know as much about soccer as she does about Gah.
I don't remember Michael Lyster doing soccer.
