Uruguay vs France (Group A - Friday 7:30pm)

soma

I'm surprised that so many seem to think Uruguay have a good chance of winning this.. don't get me wrong I hope they win.. but my god they sucked-ass against a terrible Argentina the last time I saw them play (at home).

That intro was a disgrace, we do not need that replayed over and over. What is the past should stay in the past. Talk about the football Bill not the past. Most Irish are sick of this.

The BBC intro with Nelson Mandela was cool but you are 100% right in what you are saying.

No one else watching on BBC1 then?

Catenaccio!

Jesus christ, that was embarrassing.

I KNOW WE SHOULD MOVE ON BUT...

I KNOW YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN BUT...

BLAH BLAH BLAH


Horrible opening bit there.

Recreating the World Cup draw and pulling our name out was a joke, RTE should be ashamed. Stop stoking the fire

I tried for a few seconds and then saw Adebayor. Didn't understand half of what he said.

Kev_ps3

I liked it, get people into an anti-French mood:)

Catenaccio!

Well, speak for yourself as I'll be supporting France here.

Why single out Gallas RTE when the team is full of overrated primadonnas?

God help you when Apres Match get their claws into the Henry incident. I think some people need to lighten up tbh.

Me neither, he was talking that fast too!

The studio looks brilliant for the BBC,

How many reports have they done already though, and how many staff have you seen so far?

Looks like they brought their own 23 man squad

Mr.Nice Guy

I hope France get well and truly thumped. Forlan hat-trick please.

_Bella_

I think France will win

Rowley Birkin QC

Did the BBC reference the Henry handball?

You should put one of those banners in your sig supporting whoever France is playing against

Kiwi_knock

Not really a passionate anthem is it, does not inspire confidence

Just have to say Evra is a ****ing legend!

Mr.Nice Guy

Ray Houghton's voice sounds rough. Will listen to this on BBC. Actually sounds like the noise has been lessened on the BBC.

Keano

Yea seems like. thank fu.ck. Pity I'd have to listen to lawrenson.

Muff_Daddy

Anyone know whats the story with Malouda and Domenech? Some really strange goings on in that French camp.

Yakult

france to win 2 - 0. They have the players to do the damage. Whether they can or not we'll soon see.

Peyton Manning

Why is Toulalan playing? He's far too unambitious to be playing in the World Cup...

Kylo Ren

2-1 to Uruguay!

Frank Spencer

Is the commentator on RTÉ pronouncing Uruguay "Ooohruguay" occasionally?

Uruguay look very nervous

BBC said that Gallas had to restrain Malouda during a team meeting as he was pissed at Domenech for some reason.

Yeah they need to settle down a bit and start keeping the ball better.

France are looking good.

Must have had his starsign aligned with Uranus so.

the bounce on the ball is absolutely bizarre

Paul Tergat

Proof of the bounce of the ball being way off there when LLoris didnt judge it right.

naughto
