Agree 100%, I don't watch much soccer anymore because it is so full of cheating and diving and feigning injury, makes me sick looking at fellas pretending they have head injuries when they weren't hit anywhere near the head area, and lads rolling about holding their shin when they weren't even touched. The new thing about ridiculous handball penalties is another joke, defenders with their hands clasped behind their backs trying to block a cross or shot, looks completely ridiculous and unnatural to me doing that. At this top level it's a game played by millionaire athletes who are putting on a show and pretending they give a damn about it when all it really care is about is their huge salaries and next big contract. Ireland blew a 2 goal lead last night against a very average team, I think the Danes will go through but I really couldn't care less about it, the World Cup finals itself has turned into another overblown dragged out charade like the Champions League, far better when it was less teams qualified and some real serious bite to it from when the groups are drawn. At least Italy won anyway, one result I enjoyed. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 3790 - 27/03/2026 08:31:50 2663419 Link 0 |

Don't confuse overconfidence with underconfidence, which is also a killer, especially when taking penalties in shootouts.

Our goals were soft concessions too of course, but we were good enough to win that. It won't be as annoying, if Denmark win well on Tuesday night.
