2022 FIFA World Cup (Part 1)

I genuinely don’t get the dislike of him. He’s a smiley sort of a fella too.

Biggest 45 minutes of the tournament so far coming up. All on the line for both sides.

Kelly is a nice lad alright. While I think the first two rounds of the group stage is the best time of any tournament, I won’t be sorry if the knock-out stages signals a goodbye to your Qatars, Tunisias, John Kennys and Alan Cawleys.

Qatar have had a lot of free-kicks and corners, just lacking a bit of quality.

He’s had a few Comical Ali outings in some of the Kenny games, but seems a harmless Tim Nice-but-Dim sort

Cawley infuriated me one day but, other than that, he’s been fine. Better than Ronnie.

John Kenny has been woeful.

Huge balls from Ecuador boss changing 2 in midfield.

Their right back is having a shocker though

Frenkie de Jong gets on the end of a rebound, 2-0.

Good save from Depay but the defender not aware enough.

@Bandage has Kenny ever carved out a niche in any sport a la Greg Allen for golf (“not a real sport etc.”) and athletics? They’ve both been on the go around the same length of time

Motorsport is Kenny’s area

Them weirdos should be kept away from real sports

More recently he’s hopped on the Irish cricket bandwagon too cc @StoneCold.

Didn’t he have a late night weekend slot playing heavy metal on 2fm at one stage too?!

I associate him with reading the sports news on 2fm back in the day. Signing off with…and that’s your 2fm sport with Jaaaahhhhnnnn Kenny.

Djorkaeff Reasco.

What a fucking name

Ecuador need to give themselves a shake here. They’re in danger of going out with a whimper, after outplaying the Netherlands last week.

Berguis makes it 3 with his first touch.

Will be ruled out for handball by Gakpo.

Not dissimilar to Cameroon’s opener yesterday. Undeserved but you take what you get.

Ecuador have been all over them since half time.
