No one in America understands Cricket but everyone knows it’s the father of baseball


I’m not going to pretend I know anything about Rugby but you talk about Hockey being rough. All contact sports are rough so I don’t like saying which is rougher really but Rugby freaks me out.

And in soccer

The collisions are gnarly

I don’t give a **** what anyone says


Poland is sucking the dong

El Tigre

Class goal.

Great to see him score in the World Cup after his injury.

Congratulations to Colombia. 3-0 winners vs Poland.

We're in the final round of group games now, so it's effectively knockout football from here.

Tomorrow's games:

Group A: Saudi Arabia vs Egypt
Group A: Uruguay vs Russia
Group B: Iran vs Portugal
Group B: Spain vs Morocco

The games kick off at the same time in each group by the way, so you will have to choose which one you want to watch.

Spain or Portugal for me. How are the telly gonna cover that? They'll prob flip from one to the other.

Edit: looks like RTE are going for the bolded, but as I say, I'm sure they'll switch to the other game as they go, to check the status.

That all sounds really stupid and lame. Don't you people usually have good slang?
