    Not sure if it’s the camera angle, the pitch pattern or the sunshine but this Switzerland-Qatar match looks like a game of FIFA.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35 Trevor_Cory


    Shocking result for Switzerland. They should have put them away easily.

    You'd really miss George Hamilton at a time like this.

    Morocco on top here.

    Great game so far. Morocco here to play.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth house?



  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 13,965 Mod ✭✭✭✭Say Your Number


    Maybe foolish to dismiss Brazil this early, but so far they look like no great shakes.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35 Trevor_Cory


    Top finish, very tidy goal.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,001 ✭✭✭French Toast


    Great finish there. Early days but Brazil looking poor.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,801 ✭✭✭✭Jelle1880


    Some goal to equalise it but Morocco have been very good, they're not out of this

    How many balls have Brazil kicked into touch like that, it's not rugby ye are playing lads.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,801 ✭✭✭✭Jelle1880


    Do RTE show all games on their website, or just a few ? I'm watching it there now but I don't think I've seen other games on there ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,062 ✭✭✭✭greenspurs


    Casemiro and Igor Thiago to be hooked at ht ? Both are poor...

    Brazil have been better, still don't think they're good enough, probably limp out around the quarter finals.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,801 ✭✭✭✭Jelle1880


    Probably the right result. Brazil came into it a bit after their changes but didn't really do enough.

    John Kenny hop on a private jet from Newbridge to New York????

    Scotland played in the first ever World Cup game I watched, Tommy Boyd!



  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 13,965 Mod ✭✭✭✭Say Your Number


    Scotland unconvincing but they do enough, Clare and the lads in studio aren't doing the next match, sure they might as well stay on.

    Article here about the use of the word soccer instead of football.

    Two things really grind my gears.

    One is people, usually Brits, getting annoyed at people using the word soccer instead of football

    And two is people, usually Americans, apologizing for using the word soccer instead of football.

    The use of either is totally valid, no one need get upset and no one need apologize.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35 Trevor_Cory


    Good result for Australia, wasn't expecting them to get anything against Turkiye. Opens that group right up. Group B is all 1:1 results which I found funny.

    I saw Australia thump Ireland 3-0 many years ago in Thomond Park in a friendly. Good luck to them. Not a fan of the Turks. Happy for Scotland but unconvincing. The only team that’s looked really good so far that I’ve watched is Morocco.

    So Curacao are a Dutch colony, think most of their players are born in the Netherlands.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,801 ✭✭✭✭Jelle1880


    Get in :D



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,050 ✭✭✭✭mrcheez


    TIL Curacao, a country with a population of 158,000 got into the World Cup.

    Rubbing salt into the wounds 🤣



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 16,395 ✭✭✭✭Arghus


    The nightmare duo of Darragh Maloney and Ronnie Whelan.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,017 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    it’s seems they are actually in the US. Imagine an American having Ronnie Whelan talking to you.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 16,336 ✭✭✭✭Pherekydes


    The Caribbean honeymoon is over! 🤪 I'd say this'll get ugly in the second half.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,801 ✭✭✭✭Jelle1880


    Harsh lesson for Curacao, but the German goals have been outstanding



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 18,691 ✭✭✭✭cj maxx
