I assume Lukaku has a twin. He was born second.
Hilarious
SloVARkia.
Glorious win
Delighted for my Slovak colleagues
Slovakiaās pedigree as an ex champion shone through there
Belgium proving yet again that Belgians are of inherently dubious character.
Does Rory McIlroy have any Belgian heritage?
Lobotka was class, I thought. Very classy.
I thought SeƔn Stack was correct to disallow both goals. I was impressed with Slovakia, even though Belgium applied second half pressure.
Theyāre a stuck together country like Switzerland , made out of parts
And Ireland in rugby.
Kenny Cunningham is RTE football coverageās greatest asset.
Heās gloriously opinionated, frequently comes out with batshit off the wall nonsense, and can machine gun out words at a rate of knots. He has a magnificent state of flow.
Heās the sort of fella who should be running a budget airline.
On paper thatās a seriously weak French side
I thought Kante was retired
He was
No he wasnāt.
France have started well.
They just didnāt pick him for over three year?
Well he was injured up to and after the World Cup, then want to Saudi and wasnāt picked for a while.
But he never retired.
I watched the second half of Slovakia-Belgium with the sound down, as I was on a work call, & I wasnāt keeping abreast of Twitter/X either.
I thought the handball disallowed goal was a very straightforward & uncontroversial decision & didnāt think any more of it. Iāve just been browsing online & I see many neutral football personalities were apoplectic about it on social media.
Did I miss something?
Both disallowed goals were straightforward enough decisions given the evidence before the officials.
