Neville really trying to blame De Gea for that second goal 😅 Meanwhile England's mighty heroes Maguire and Shaw stood watching the ball like they were waiting for a bus
NBC Executive Don Ohlmeyer, a friend of OJ Simpson, threatened to fire Norm Macdonald if he continued calling Simpson a murderer. Suffice to say, Norm was fired. Not difficult to determine who's on the right side of history in that situation.
At this evening's Denmark presser:
Question: "You may have heard the phrase 'It's coming home' - what would it mean for you to stop it from coming?"
Kasper Schmeichel: "Has it ever been home though? I mean, have you ever won it?"
Literally every aspect of travelling to/via Dublin is in disarray. Airport is an omnishambles, when you make it through that hellscape you encounter one of the worst capital city transport links in Europe. Taxis non-existent, three star hotels charging Ritz-Carlton rates.
Of the Lloris incident, Jermaine Jenas just said "anywhere else on the pitch it's a foul" 😅 In what universe would a flying punch from a goalkeeper occur anywhere else on the pitch
Republic of Ireland defender Diane Caldwell has sensationally slammed the management of Vera Pauw insisting that their historic run to a first-ever Women's World Cup was due to the players

Italy antagonistically seeing-out a one-goal injury time advantage vs England, in front of a vitriolic Wembley crowd, is the ending we and this tournament deserve
Just heard La Roux described as a one hit wonder. For starters, Bulletproof is such a banger that it counts as three songs. So jot that down. And also, In For The Kill got to

Rare you come away from an All Ireland Final thinking mainly about someone on the losing side, but Shane Walsh was off the charts good today, breath-taking performance
After 44 years of broadcasting, Jim Lampley hung up his microphone last night. Difficult to imagine any commentator as passionate about their sport as this man. The best to ever do it.
One of the most courageous and mesmerising performances ever delivered by an Irish sportsperson, and no bigger stage upon which to do it. Phenomenal stuff from Katie Taylor, and amazing performance too by Amanda Serrano 🥊

I've reversed course on my position that filming on phones at football matches should be banned. In fact, I think everyone should be given a camera upon entry.
Nobody loves representing his country as much as James McClean and that is hugely admirable, but he's not an international player anymore and hasn't been for quite a while
Not sure how a non-Irish Six Nations game can be televised at the expense of Rovers vs Bohs. The viewing figures argument doesn't wash. There shouldn't even be ads on a national broadcaster. What's shown should be in the national interest rather than just 'TV by numbers'
English public figures keep saying "we deserve this after all this country has been through over the last 18 months".

Ali was stripped of his title for refusing induction into the army on religious grounds, lost his license & faced jail time for draft evasion. Seven years later, he reclaimed the title against an undefeated George Foreman in one of the most seismic sporting & cultural events ever
15 years today (unbelievably) since Mayweather vs Hatton, and some of the greatest sports television ever produced
HBO 24/7 - often imitated, never replicated
Not since Matthew McConaughey became a dramatic actor have we seen a career reinvention quite like finisher-turned-playmaker Antoine Griezmann 💫 A sublime second act 🎬

last night; thanks for all of the nice messages, and to the colleagues, guests & listeners who have made it such a memorable experience ❤️
Don't let the England result distract from the fact that Didi Hamann was putting together his magnum opus of punditry on live television with an all-time great rant, and was cut short for a Bridget & Eamon rerun
