Mick McCarthy on BBC has said "take one for the team" twice already

I'm distracted by boards and the internet. This game is boring. Needs a goal or a red card!

I think its a great game so far. I love the way the Brazilians can keep the ball even with three or four Portuguese around them .

Ruu_Old · 25-06-2010 03:44PM

Someone is going to get their marching orders in the Brazil Portugal game before the 90 minutes, very heated, a lot of stupid challenges (and some divers).

Nostalgia time:
Today is the 20th anniversary of the penalty shootout against Romania that got us into the quarter finals. Put that into yer pipes and smoke it.

That's the problem with society today. Distracted from distraction by distractio.... Oh look it's lovely and sunny outside.

Ronaldo is getting very frustrated - This is Brazil's for the taking.
So Ivory Coast will only need another 7 goals to qualify if Brazil can score - the excitement is coming (says me optimistically).

Mick Daly · 25-06-2010 03:52PM

That handball deserved a red card

Strange. I remember I was supposed to be studying for my Inter Cert but my dad said I could watch the Irish matches. I must have been still doing exams at this stage cos I remember I had to go back up to my room and study after that shoot out!

Diabhal Beag · 25-06-2010 03:52PM

I have a strange memory of that day. I was 4 and my family and I were on our way out to watch the match in the pub. We were waiting for my parents to get out to the car and the boot was open and I climbed up onto the collapsible bit (it was a hatchback) and fell face first onto the driveway. Instead of a family outing to watch Ireland play, we had to drive to Temple Street to get stitches in my lip

Dilynnio · 25-06-2010 04:09PM

20 years ago......thats mad.....I remember it well....going for a drive by Bakers Corner and the car being rocked from side to side by the supporters on the street......great memories!

I see the :eek:Daily Mail:eek: has done a Godwin on the German team, and also makes out that half the team wouldn't have been eligible to play for Germany, had they used the old entitlement rules.:o

Perhaps they should remind themselves of English cricket's new golden boy's origins...

I'd have left you on the driveway & sorted it out after the match.

Here's the highlights for you....

Whistle blows for kick off.
Whistle blows for half-time.
Whistle blows for full-time.

Full time score, Brazil 0-0 Portugal.

ElaElaElano · 25-06-2010 06:57PM

20 years since millions of Irish people the world over, in unison roared 'David O'Leary..David O'FúckinLeary! For fúck's sake!'

Humble pie sales went through the roof that day.

7 players?? Do the refs have bets on to see who can book the most players in a match or something!
