    Hugh Cahill sounds like he's commentating using a dial up connection

    Mmmmm….only 1 Real Madrid player at the World Cup?

    Thibaut Courtois, Mbappé, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Vinícius, Endrick, Bellingham, Antonio Rüdiger, Brahim Díaz, Arda Güler don't count?

    The traditional approach from Uruguay now would be to try and kick Cape Verde off the pitch.

    Please tell me I didn't just hear the RTE commentators saying Valverde is the only Real Madrid player at the World Cup?

    Who do Mbappe and Vini Jr play for then? Or Courtois?

    I thought I misheard it, but I think he did say that!

    Ooof, just a tiny bit of composure from the CV attacker there and that was a 1 v 1. Just had to slip it to his right for a great chance.

    I think commentators might have meant no Real Madrid players in the Spain squad and got confused. Its a pretty amateur thing to say.

    Oh dear...…they weren't smart at all

    Had the ball twice but didn't use their head. 1-1

    Why on earth did they not kick it into the stands for the injured player. So naiive.

    Crikey - Cabo Verde player down with an injured hamstring…instead of putting the ball out, they keep playing and have a daft shot from half-way…Uruguay attack and from a cross, Cabo Verde head onto their own post and allow an open goal rebound…then the injured guy refuses to go off even when he's being subbed (I think)…and even then the sub can't go ahead until he has his minute off the pitch for receiving treatment.

    Talk about mental stuff.

    Uruguay showing that bit of quality. Excellent move. Tough for CV.

    You'd wonder what could've been with that massive chance wasted at 1-0.

    Nope.

    Hugh Cahill said "even though Spain are in the World Cup, Valverde is the only Real Madrid player in the whole tournament"

    Did he mean the group? It was obvious he just misspoke rather than actually not knowing.

    Cape Verde look like they can win it now all of a sudden. Looked like they were ready to collapse earlier.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Don't recall a keeper getting caught that far out of his box since Rene Higuita. Daft stuff, even allowing for the hospital pass

    Edit - forgot about Manuel Neuer against South Korea actually, doing his impression of that mad Peru '78 keeper

    He could have meant that on reflection.

    It came across as if he meant tournament though.
