Replying To Freethinker:  "Well done by Kevin Doyle tonight on RTE panel. Only for his input it was pure banal bunkum. Who picks these ""pundits" - and presenters.??"
I can't speak about RTE. But I don't bother listening to the pregame and half-time analysis on the BBC and ITV. And I've now started muting the commentary on most games because of the constant drivel spoken. Which is a shame, because I miss the crowd noise, atmosphere.

Replying To Redhot:  "OK I going of the subject now myself but with all the 24 teams at Euro 2024 having now played who have been the standout team if there has been one , For me Spain have been the best team so far there looked very good against Croatia , And for you who have been the standout team ?"
And after watching Spain play Italy last night i saw nothing that would make me change my mind they could have and should have scored 3 or 4 goals in that game

English bookies taking suckers money. England will win nothing, I hope they get knocked out on penalties again, love to hear then crying,

TV commentators don't come up for air these days. It's not radio. We can see the action. Let the pictures speak for themselves like Barry Davies or Jimmy McGee used to do.

I'm hoping Turkey progress beyond the Group stage. Enjoyed watching their last game, especially 19 year Arda Guler. Big game tomorrow against Portugal.

All this bellyaching about England is very boring. They've topped their group now, with all this tiresome yapping going on. Let's wait till they exit, and then put the boot in, if they're not going home as champs.

That's the end of them so :-)

The whole business of Irish people who are besotted with "us" and "youse" suddenly deciding to hate the same people they watch on Sky for nine months is a bit schizophrenic.

A form of compensation for the fact that in most other respects they are Little Englanders culturally.

England currently favourites on Betfair at 5.3 Suppose that reflects the fact the are on the other side of the draw from some of the heavyweights.

They are when Southgate sets them up like that anyway. Plenty of good footballers in that squad.

I think you might be over-thinking it in your desire you judge and label your inferiors there Barney

Do you really have to repeat this every time somebody sets up a soccer thread or discussion? I think we all get it. You hate soccer and the people who follow it. Way to go Barney Rubble!
