This will be the most corrupt World Cup of all Times Red Cards and sending offs to get the right results .Last 8 England,France ,Holland ,Germany Spain .Japan ,Argentina ,Brazil ..Two European teams in the final for the TV money .Best result for Fifa Final between England and Spain .Mexico are dark horses if the Game is Rigged .USA are worse than Ireland ,Canada are league of Ireland Standard .The race for the fast exit will be between Portugal and Germany with only one of them making last 8 .My pick is Spain love to see Brazil back to their best but do they have a striker ?
Irish Womens team could qualify for Girls World Cup Every Chinease Mr Woo has his chopsticks crossed for that as the Housewives will want to watch every moment of this massivly growing entertaining Sport .According to people who know Womens soccer is the 53 most watched sport in the world .Bid Dommo once watched a Game live in the Brickers Lourdes Celtic beat Dolphin Dynamose 34-7 in the ist round of the cup .

It's not a game of two halves anymore! They were saying on d'radio that there's mandatory water breaks at 23 mins each half. So the game will played in quarters (like American sports) & there'll be lots and lots of ads >:(

Back in Italia 90 I bought my first car a Ford Fiesta for £800 notes made money selling tee shirts around the pubs with the FIFA Dog on them and the Name of the Pub .Black Lion Inchicore Supporting Jacks Army .made about 50p on each one sold 46,000 of then throughout Leinster . Kept 3 lads in work printing them in the East Wall enterprise center .
For those who remember Italia 90 whats going on now is more like the Aids Epidemic of the 80 .Nobody knows whats going to happen but everybody is on edge .For what use to be a Must See event for MEN its now a thing that will get in the way of Coronation Street and Shed and Buried .Bigger is not always better .Like the Olympics use to be a must watch now winter olympics and Special Olympics have diluted the Original Idea of the best meeting the best .There are teams in this Tournament would not win a Sunday League Game on the Lawns in Ballyfermot .St Francis have a better Ground in Baldonnell than some of their National Stadiums .Greed has killed Sport it use to be the Best versus the best to see who was the Best .Now it just about Money .The Golden Boot could be won in One game mismatch where a striker could get 4 or 5 .

The Mighty Americans have taken the Tournament by Storm .Lallas the Big Red headed lad who played for them years ago recons they could go to the Semis .Harry Kane has to win Golden Boot somebody stole his and the English Kit Bags .Think that happened last time England were near Mexico Bobby Moore charged with Robbing Necklace .Trump will say Black English Players got their Immigrant Cousins to steal their Stuff .

i caught a chunk of america's game last night. they were very impressive.
they're fans in the crowd were fantastic as well.
i think england will win it. they've been knockin on the door the past couple of tournaments. they'll say it's ironic they could only win it with a kraut managing them.
i heard they're yanking up the tournament. lots of stoppin and startin for water breaks. that'll suit them.
remember andres escobar from usa 94 that was murdered. i saw that a gangster who was implicated was hit himself recently.

If you're looking for a team to support? Cape Verde v Spain, Monday evening, 5pm Irish time.
Dublin-born Cape Verde star recruited on LinkedIn gets World Cup chance (https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c7590ln3l06o)
He was recruited on social media to play for a tiny island nation 3,000 miles from where he was born, and now a former Dublin bank worker looks set to face Spain at the World Cup.
Roberto Lopes' story sounds so far fetched even Hollywood scriptwriters might consider it implausible.
"I was not enjoying the work," says the 33-year-old about his desk job as he reflects on a wild, inspirational journey, from being a white-collar worker in the Republic of Ireland to playing for Cape Verde at their first World Cup.
The defender, nicknamed 'Pico', was a newly qualified mortgage adviser 10 years ago, playing part-time for Bohemians in the League of Ireland.
Then, in 2017, Dublin rivals Shamrock Rovers offered Lopes a chance to give up his day job and throw himself into a full-time football career.
He has not looked back.
Lopes is expected to start for minnows Cape Verde when they face 2010 world champions Spain on Monday in Group H in Atlanta (17:00 BST kick-off).
<snip>
Lopes with his wife, Leah, and their baby, Diego, after Shamrock Rovers beat Cork City to win the 2025 FAI Cup at the Aviva Stadium, Dublin. He still plays for Shamrock Rovers!

England win the World Cup ?
They did. In fact, Mrs. Catcher briefly looked up from her book when they were being interviewed after their 1/4 final win and said aah that's a bit unfair, none of the other pairs have darts players... of course she had only paid scant interest to the group stages up to then.

Var has ruined it .Yes it does find fouls but anything that is Perfect is predictable and boring ..There is a Photo Finish of a race last saturday .Absolutely no way of saying one horse beat the other ,should of been a dead heat but im sure the stewarts have betting data for races to watch out for strokes and might be encouraged to rule in certain ways in inquiries .In this years Derby the Favourite had his foot caught in the stalls and was ruled a non runner .But what if that race was at Clonmel on a Friday in December no Cameras how would they know what went on in the Stalls ?
Its only the top flight games on Telly they fuck about with with Telli and Var to increase the entertainment value not improve the actual game .Its almost like a Video Game now go back a level and get your Donkey to jump a different Barrell .And dont get me Started on Women Pundits in Soccer or Rugby .Imagine Dumphy or Roy on Tampon Applications for the fatter girls the outcry by the feministas would be huge .
Nothing is sacred anymore .Soon Virgin Media (Punn ) will have a new show where Skangers turn up in a shopping Center to shoplift with the First a two hour stay in an Abortion Clinic .

Great football tonight on RTE last few minutes were great .Go on the Saints .What maronoc fucktard though Waterford versus The Sluggish Saints was a good idea when the World cup was on the other station ..They could of put a Dog taking a Shit on and it would of gotten more viewers than Waterford V Pats .We pay a licence fee for that level of uselessness .
