John Kenny is an integral part of the major tournament experience, Iâm hoping he throws in a random name of a Joe McDonagh Cup hurler or Olympic swimmer by mistake before this tournament is out.
That Adam fella up front for Hungary didnât even resemble a professional footballer.
John will be covering the highlights package for Laois vs Wexford on tomorrow nightâs Sunday Game. What a man
A jack of all trades, a man for all seasons. Equally at home at Mondello Park, Brewster Park, an Olympic pool, Peamount Unitedâs pitch or doing an off-tube commentary from an insulated freight container which previously served as the clubhouse of St. Patâs Palmerstown.
Sommer, Rodrigues, Xhaka and Shaqiri have given some service for the Swiss - all fine tournament footballers too. Think this is their sixth major tournament together
If you had told me he was an Olympic weightlifter or hammer thrower or something of that ilk, Iâd have believed it.
This should be good
No Busquets, no party - hon Croatia
So Morata is captain now. Itâs like Tipp giving it to Jason Forde. Spain look seriously short of pace at fullback.
Croatia have taken one of international footballâs nicest jerseys and absolutely destroyed it
Adidas doing an OâNeills on it and making every kit the exact same. Those fucking shorts on Spain.
Awful Croat kit too. Nike doing too much rather than keeping the classic style
Yeah Iâm not sold on that Spanish front 3. A 16 year old and Morata doesnât look the most potent to me. Theyâll be windy enough in the knockouts as is their wont over the last 10 years.
Why the need for such big patches of red and white? Looks cat
I could see this ending nil nil
This is lovely stuff from Croatia. Spain a bit lethargic.
Clinical from Morata.
Slightly against the run of play?
Croatia are a shadow of their great sides of the last decade, theyâve loads of lads playing for Micky mouse clubs. Their front three are a 32yr old that plays for Hoffenheim, a 32yr old that plays for Osasuna and a 26yr old that plays for Wolfsburg. Their centre halves are with Lecce and struggling Ajax. Their midfield is ancient then. They are very much in massive transition.
And in saying all that theyâve been the better side against Spain despite being behind, it doesnât say much for Spain this is a weak Spain team also.
That is class from Ruiz.
Edit- Ruiz rather than Pedri.
