Please God.

The draw was for an American audience. We were just an audience familiar with Soccer looking at a host not familiar doing a draw for it.

Trump getting a peace medal.  ;D

You have to laugh at them presenting their world champions sportspeople to draw the Balls.

Shaq is a monster of a man.

YMCA at the end shows that the regular american sees soccer as a girls or gay game.




YMCA was played at every Trump campaign rally last year. Think the Village People even appeared.

So by my calculations mexico v south africa is the first game of the tournament on the 11th of june. That will likely have an afternoon kick off ahead of the second game that day which we hope is Ireland v South Korea. That would probably be an evening or night time kickoff avoiding daytime sun and temperatures. The Atlanta game in a stadium with a retractable roof hopefully leaving us with just one potential daytime game against Mexico.

We will find out tomorrow for sure.

Even if the Ulster Council screwed up a thousand Casement Parks - they'd be nothing on that lot.

Long past the point of insidious. Now just nakedly corrupt and pandering to power to acquire more power themselves.

I for one, will be making a point of not watching.

Ireland are 7/2 third favourites to reach the finals..

Based on those odds you won't have to watch it
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

So Ireland if they get there, look to have avoided the worst of the elements with 2 night time kick offs against South Korea and Mexico and a daytime kickoff in a retractable roof stadium in between. Now we just need to qualify.

Sure look at this thread, plotting Irelands route out of the group and we likely won't even qualify!!

I will get tickets now this week if I can. It shouldn't be a problem getting rid of them if it is Denmark who qualify.

If Ireland qualify, and you  are thinking of going to  the World Cup , you'd need to remortgage the house , judging by these prices
