I've been avoiding RTE so far, BBC aren't great either though.

Uh Oh... I wonder does Dunphy know about this.... :D

BBC for the commentary, RTE for the rest bar perhaps a quick look at Lineker's sad mug if they lose before switching over.

Very hard to call. Stayed clear of the Bookies for this 1.

Going to throw out a 2-1 win for Italy but game going to be close.

Looking forward to watching De Rossi and pirlo

Mantis Toboggan

Apres match ftw....

Hope the Liverpool lads do well

Actually like the look of England going into this match.
Quite attacking with plenty of pace which can really hurt the Italian team.
England to win 2 nil and then the papers get ahead of themselves.

Barr

Looking forward to this , think it will be a low score draw

Benteke

That was shyte, Will go down as one of the worse apre matches sketches

CountyHurler

In case anybody didnt see it, when Dunphy was on with Gay Byrne he got very emotional about when talking about how his family were nearly thrown out of their home (as a kid)... I'm not sure he will appreciate being mocked about this... Will be interesting to see if he's still in the studio when they get back...

I find the sound quality much better on RTE.

Better crowd noise and full surround.

Disappointed not to see Lallana starting, think he is a smashing player. Think it will be a 1-1 draw but come on England

That's pretty naive...no offence meant. The panel would have seen and sanctioned the sketch before it went near TV. At a minimum, rte would have acted middle man to ensure all parties are happy. Would be very amatuer of them to run something and have a panelist furious over it during a live broadcast.

They should scrap apres match and bring in Mario Rosenstock.

Joe Hart looked shattered already.

Lucas Castroman

Hart looks like he has dropped an E

Smithwicks Man

Tipping Balotelli to light this game up and Verratti to outshine Pirlo

He looked really tired as in its 11 at night and he should be getting ready for bed.

Bloody hell you sound a barrel of laughs.

It's an Apres Match sketch. Been taken the p1ss out of Dunphy for over 20 years.

Do you not remember Dunphy's reaction to one of the first Apres Matches taking the piss out of him

Bad quality but it was hilarious at the time

brevity

The Italian national anthem is just the best...

efb

Those crazy I-talians!

Tigerandahalf

2 -0 to England with Sterling and Sturridge to score. Pirlo at 35 may struggle.

OwaynOTT

The beard on Pirlo! That's a worthy World Cup winning beard.

KERSPLAT!

Come on Italy!!

Nah, can't say it. But I'm not rabidly against England for once.

Dolph Starbeam

Putting Rooney on the left is daft, play your best players in their best positions.

I think he was annoyed about that because he wanted to talk about the match, they went to Apres Match instead.

Too Tough To Die

That one haircut bastard doesn't even deserve to share a screen with a man as beautiful as Pirlo.

GoldFour4

Gonna go with 1-1. England to score in the first 20mins

Reganio 2

I love the folding arms thing at the start. Highlight of my day.

Sterling could get the run of these 2 fullbacks haven't seen paletta in along time but never rated him at Liverpool or the odd time I've seen him since.

Who's BBC co-commentator? He's annoying me already- Michael Owen! Ah heyer!!!

Mantis Toboggan

Only 4of that English team played champions league football this season so this is a big step up!
