Is the game on RTE viewable outside Ireland?

Use an Irish proxy or something

Honesty of effort there

IvySlayer · 12-06-2014 07:42PM

Lack of creativity in a match where they beat the world champions 3-0?

There's Giles analysing some Brazil game from bloody years ago. :pac:

DeanAustin · 12-06-2014 07:44PM

I've defended Giles forever but I cannot believe he just used 1970 footage to get the point across that Brazil are a "functional team".

Real insightful John.

Jesus wept.

"David Luiz would be a liability playing in the League Of Ireland"

Fúck sake Dunphy.

Just so excited now, the greatest tournament in the World is only a couple of minutes.

The fact that it only happens every four years makes it even better every time it comes around.

Picking Spain to win it and France as the ones to spoil the home party.

FFS. Are all the WC threads going to quote what someone on the panel said?

I'd argue that the Euro's is better. All killer and no filler.

MangoMachine · 12-06-2014 07:49PM

Numerous priceless one liners from the panel tonight, I've a feeling this will be a good World Cup!

No disrespect to England but have they earned the right to be called possible winners? Like they are behind Switzerland in the rankings and no one is even mentioning them (A good bit behind too). England haven't in years shown the ability to win it, last was probably in the early 90s. I think it's just the reputation of an old England team that builds this sort of hype around them. Saying that, they'll probably make me look like a fool now and go on and do very well. :P

I'd imagine Swiss TV have probably commented on their team's chances of winning it... I wouldn't begrudge ITV for focusing on England, they are English after all.

It was the only way he'd get the names right.

2nd verse for good measure. They are pumped up.

efb · 12-06-2014 07:58PM

We'll sing the rest of the verses!

Agueroooo · 12-06-2014 07:58PM

Emotional stuff but could get to the players.

Andersonisgod · 12-06-2014 07:58PM

That was something else entirely, spine tingling, a cauldron of noise.

Frankie Lee · 12-06-2014 07:59PM

David Luiz is one of the most impressive national anthem singers ever imo.

syngindub · 12-06-2014 07:59PM

yep,anthem cut as far as i heard or not

Bacchus · 12-06-2014 07:59PM

Seems like they are having sound problems. The opening ceremony sounded awful too... and not just cos of Pitbull and J-Lo.

keano_afc · 12-06-2014 08:00PM

Already sick of that arms folding thing.

MangoMachine · 12-06-2014 08:00PM

Don't think they anthem cut out, the Scottish do it in Murrayfield also.

Dempsey · 12-06-2014 08:01PM

How old is Olic now and has he still got the speed?

That's why PSG have signed him... He'll be popping out of a giant ball with J-Lo in 2022

They cut the anthem intentionally for affect. They did the same thing last year at the Confederations Cup. Very powerful with the whole stadium and team belting it out. I think it's shameful when our team doesn't even know it no matter where they were born.

niallo27 · 12-06-2014 08:02PM

Haven't looked forward to a World Cup this much in a long time.

12-06-2014 08:02PM

What's the story with match threads during the world cup?

Are they permitted?

Bit confusing what thread to post match stuff
