    cant wait for germany v england .... i think the english will do them... the game will suit engerland..

    You should be a pundit. You seem to have a handle on cliches that sound insightful, but are actually totally meaningless. :D

    My missus is good at them too.. she has a great memory for them even though she's absolutely no interest in football... I'll be watching a game & complain that my team are losing at half time & she'll say something like "They're on the back foot now, but don't worry, it's a game of two halves".

    Thanks luv!

    The RTE panel are brilliant when Giles, Dunphy & Bill are on it. Most of the time they talk utter b*llox, but it's always entertaining.

    And who can forget this absolute classico from Italia 90....



    Only on RTE!

    Feckin' delayed Alf and Home and Away for that nonsense! WHAT?????? :mad:

    He gives the team "the look" when they are playing badly.

    BTW Engerland haven't beaten a "big" team (Argentina x2, Brazil, Spain, Germany x3, Portugal) in a post-group game since ..... 1966 :D So good luck on Sunday!

    I can't wait until the Vuvuzela Hero game comes out. Should be fairly easy to play, I think: only one button, which you just press and hold until the game ends. :cool:

    I saw a documentary once about the time Gilesy, Jack Charlton and Mick McCarthy were coaching a women's team in Italy. It was shown a lot, you must have seen it.


    It was an advert!

    Anyone watch the RTE online feed for the match that's not showing on TV? It has commentary, but no other sound. Feels weird to watch.

    Also I have the BBC text commentary open, and the RTE feed is on a delay, so I know everything just before it happens.

    Landon Donovan said "Hi Bianca" and blew a kiss to the screen on the post match interview.

    Irwin: "Well, i know Donovan is having marriage difficulties. I think he got divorced there a while back.

    Dunphy: "So who's Bianca then" (turns to someone on the crew laughing) "who's this Bianca?"

    Irwin: "Well, someone obviously new then"

    Bill: "So Bianca is not his wife then, is that what you're saying?"

    Irwin: "Yes"

    Dunphy laughs again "Tell us more"

    Irwin goes into a speech about Donovan's career.

    Bill: "So should we all say goodnight to Bianca then?"

    Dunphy "Yeah. Goodnight Bianca, See you baby"

    Bill finishes it off then by saying "So England face Germany and will be having nightmares about penalties. I hope it doesn't happen to Bianca. Goodnight"

    Panel explodes in laughter.

    Youtube have a tiny football icon on their player now. If you press it you hear the Vuvuzela.
