Poor old Ramos must be wondering what he has to do. Probably wait for a certain 40 year old to retire. Came on and scored the winner against Croatia, but with Portugal in need of a goal, he doesn't get a minute. Even if Ronaldo had to stay on, surely Ramos had to get thrown in there. Spain were the better team overall, but some of their attacking players weren't at their sharpest. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2938 - 07/07/2026 00:06:11 2684619 Link 1 |

Great result after this never ending season. Especially with so many injuries. Overall a great day of rugby hopefully standard can be maintained over next few weeks.

Trump left with egg on his face once more. His silly antics got Belgium fired up as they hammered the USA team. Gaa_lover (USA) - Posts: 4029 - 07/07/2026 03:24:19 2684625 Link 0 |

For once I agree with you Portugal definitely could have won that game if they took their chances. Not convinced about Spain....they had luck v Uruguay 1-0, luck v Portugal 1-0 couldn't beat Cabe Verd 0-0. Semi Finals France v Belgium England v Argentina I'll do one more bet.....Argentina qualify v Egypt, Colombia qualify v Switzerland, France qualify v Morocco, England qualify v Norway, Belgium qualify v Spain and Argentina to get to Semi Finals. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2916 - 07/07/2026 07:35:29 2684633 Link 0 |

Trump's meddling and making himself the centre of everything as usual worked a treat for the USMNT! Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 10414 - 07/07/2026 09:12:01 2684637 Link 0 |

Nail biting stuff, sadly Portugal seemed to have played the entire game with 10 players, they also lost their outstanding player Numo Mendes early in the second half, his replacement Semedo is a completely different type of player, not comparable. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 3399 - 07/07/2026 09:50:16 2684644 Link 0 |

Good enough for them, won't matter to Trump anyhow. You couldn't shame that lad. He'll probably try to hold on to the World Cup after he presents it in a few weeks and present it to the US team. The whole world laughs on.

I think Colombia could be the wildcard team on that side of the draw. They'll probably have too much for Switzerland and they won't fear Argentina. My tips.. Argentina v Egypt - Argentina Colombia v Switzerland - Colombia France v Morocco - France Spain v Belgium - Spain England v Norway - England Argentina v Colombia - Colombia France v Spain - Spain Colombia v England - England Spain v England - Spain Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 10414 - 07/07/2026 10:35:40 2684651 Link 0 |

Sick of Spain I am...never liked them or their la liga league.....I'm more old fashioned Classic golazio 90's Italian Football nut. Colombia and Norway have been beautiful to watch and in a ideal world I would love to see Colombia v Norway and Belgium v Morocco World Cup Semi Finals!!! katser (Galway) - Posts: 2916 - 07/07/2026 11:56:18 2684663 Link 0 |

Yeah it would be fantastic to see a non-traditional team go all the way. I just get the feeling that when those types of teams reach the quarters they subconsciouslessly relax into a bit of a "job-done mode", whereas teams like Argentina, France and Spain have the tradition of winning big tournaments. It'll be an interesting couple of weeks now. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 10414 - 07/07/2026 12:35:07 2684676 Link 0 |
