Have long reckoned top level global soccer is a vehicle for money laundering, its the only thing that explains some of the transfer fees and pump and dump investment in plenty of clubs, its up there with boxing

Kane v Haaland!

So Trump by saying he spoke with Infantino is implicating FIFA and himself in corruption.  Couldn't make this up. 

The man enables genocide without a second thought, fitbaw corruption doesn't even register in his thinking, Belgium should find the biggest platform they have and call them both out publicly as cheats and be done with it

It was every bit the ambush, but executed very well with plenty of control shown ahead of the second half chaos, and then found a way to ride it out

Talk of a tubthumping half time team talk against Croatia and that backs to the wall win in the lions den last night they'll be lifting some serious energy and belief ahead of the next game, Norway were very impressive too and will be equally buoyant

Availability/selection will have a huge say in the QF, if both teams come out to play it could be another cracker, don't see either team sitting back, Norway will try and wrestle control, England will try and overwhelm with power and pace, one not to be missed

Brazil = Down. Used to be good back in the 20th century, still play the odd good game, but are generally useless.

Equally deluded regarding their place in the pecking order thats for sure

Here's a challenge for you.

Write the name of every Down person you know on a piece of paper.

Then for each, try to recall the last time you heard them talk about Down as a force, or even a sleeping giant.

If it's happened in the past 10 years, put a tick beside their name.

I suspect you'll end up with zero ticks.

Jes that wasn't a nibble, ye fecking swallowed her whole 

Cillian maybe could offer something, but it is some ask at this stage. He is super accurate so who knows

Aye against London

Or if its the last kick of the game in an AIF, with your team 2 behind, and you have a 21 yard free and you want to take the point.

Thats dark

Amazing game, it was like the Barrera / Prince Naseem fight back in the day, but the Prince turned up this time
An all time classic and serious baws from England to get through, they'll take a lot of confidence from it and will take a good team to beat them, that said Norway look very capable too, toyed with Brazil at times, some great games to come

Very few come out this saga looking well including but not limited to successive GAA presidents, Ulster Council, the Casement residents and Sinn Fein.

Why Sinn Fein didn't take Communities when Stormont was restored is beyond me. The GAA and Irish language are getting an absolute kicking and there's nothing SF can do about it.

A farce for all concerned!!

Bunch of amateurs, and throw in an ample amount of 'big talk' as well along the way, with nothing to back it up only farcical photoshoots.
Please use every last penny available to build the best atmospheric stadium for whatever number of seats money will buy these days, and hand it back to Antrim GAA.

A slight Vicky Pollard yeh but no but view of my own

Yes the number of seats is important but given the shambles it has been, and that its not going above 15,000 then perhaps settle for 12,000 and reserve some of the spend for player related infrastructure, like top quality changing rooms/warm up area/medical side, so above all the player experience is A1, any talk of corporate experience should be fucked off entirely, the venue should be put together with players in mind

1/ A1 playing surface
2/ A1 atmosphere when pushing on for full
3/ A1 player facilities/trimmings

A friend of mine who's gay told me about the one in Belfast and it would be quite different from any sauna I have been to put it that way...

Some of my best friends are gay, don't see much of them in July tends to be something of a cosplay month for them by all accounts

Serious Euro 92 vibes

Kane off > Toney on, c'mon Tomas u can do it

Fùck what a miss!!!

Finally a referee not falling for  Kane's diving

Great call by ref
