Peter Collins is a vastly superior anchorman than Darragh Maloney.

Dunphy telling us Srna is back after missing the first game due to attending his fatherās funeral. Iām certain Srna was playing against Turkey on Sunday.

He was playing, Dunphy is talking shite.
@Nembo_Kid will Italy be tempted to rest their defence and Buffon for our game?
I reckon we should get a few yellows against Ireland as we are now likely to top the group and should face a 3rd place team in the last 16.
Winner of the group plays the runner up in Group D, itās locked in.
Excellent presenter. Professional and knowledgeable. What else would you want. Amloney is a gossip merchant who clearly blagged his way into these roles. Collins is years on the circuit doing various roles and building his craft. Nice guy i would say.
Meanwhile Damien OāMeara on RTE Radio 1 sport news at 4.30pm informed listeners that Czech Republic would be looking for their second win of Euro 2012 (two thousand and twelve) against Croatia at 5pm. Itās 2016 (two thousand and sixteen) and they lost their opening game against Spain.

Another snoozefest so far, game 2 seems to be about consolidation.
Croatia even money to win in-running here against Czech Republic. They look the only team capable of scoring. All the play is in the Czech half.
And there it is. Croatia 1-0. Perisic with the goal, great bit of stuff that fella.

Great play from Rakatic, would have been some goal.
The Vida chap at the back for Croatia wouldnāt look out of place in a mad max movie.
Perisic puts the Croats one up, lovely finish
Lovely team really arenāt they? All around the park they are solid out and a few diamonds in midfield then.
I donāt rate them all that highly. Mandzucic is fairly one dimensional while I think their centeevbacks will be found out against one of the better sides. They have some excellent players but are two or three players short
I actually enjoy Moloney as a commentator although he only ever seems to do Dublin games but he is a very poor host and is quickly put back in his box by the senior pundits. Collins is very good but when he first started around the 2002 WC he was poor. Think he only had done formula one previous to that, he certainly has grown as a broadcaster over the years.
John Kenny isnāt the worst commentator going either
Lovely dinked finish by Rakatic
Nice finish
2-0 Rakitic
Thought Cech couldāve done better in that situation given how close Rakatic got to him.
