FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

[From the Bunker]

Mbappe is a class act both on and off the pitch.

Lionel Messi is to Argentina what Peter Canavan was to Tyrone.

Messi going to flop at yet another world cup.

You got me 

Still got roasted by Andy Robertson.

[Capt Pat]

A great game in the end with an Mbappe hat trick and Messi picking up the trophy.

Three and a half years until the next tournament. I hope Ireland are there.

That was a real blockbuster. Great entertainment. That save on 120 by Martinez was something else.

MacAllister wasn't too shabby and did better than Rice and Grealish

That was like Dudek's double save in  instanbul.  Once he saved that I thought , Their name is  on the trophy

Had the exact same thought. Was some save.

Argentina have completely sh*t it again.

Clarshack blew his load too early, again

[smelmoth]

Messi scores .

Who knew?

The psychology of this game is fascinating

Whereas psychology is normally absent from major sporting occasions?

McAllister's family is Irish. He has a brother called Kevin. There is a hurling club in Buenos Aires by the way as there is a sizeable Irish community there. 
So would he be potentially 10 minutes away from being the first Irish person to win the World Cup ?

No.

He is as Irish as anyone with an ancestor from Ireland in the last 350 years.

Nobby Stiles was first generation Irish. Indeed his son declared for Ireland.

Don't say that. He will start getting the abuse those lads Rice and Grealish get for playing for the country they were born in, raised in and played all their football in.

GRMA . What was his mother's maiden name?
Didn't he marry Johnny Giles' sister ?

De Paul was amazing and seems a really good fella, especially with all the charity work he does
