No country has ever won the World Cup while having a foreign (not from the country they're managing) manager.
6 out of 8 of the remaining managers are 'homegrown' for their countries with the exceptions being Belgium and England.
Make of that what you will.

@moranjohna1@Bate_Kevin We're years on from that report now and nothing has changed for the better. It has gotten worse.
But don't worry because this new riverbank will make it all better.
Gentrification loading. . Please wait.

Out of sight, out of mind.
If I remember correctly there was a Dochas report that put St. Mary's Park as one of - if not the most - disadvantaged area in all of Ireland.

π£ Zlatan Ibrahimovic β "Cristiano was shouting 'I'm back' after scoring against Uzbekistan. That's nice. But against Colombia he played the whole game, had one shot, scored zero goals, and finished with a 0-0 draw."
π£ "Then I watched Messi. He didn't even start the match against Jordan. He came on after 60 minutes, looked at the free-kick, and did what only geniuses do.
Goal, Match won."
π£ βAnother record broken. Seven consecutive World Cup matches with a goal.That's the difference."
π£ "Some players tell the world they're back. Messi never left."
π£ "While others are busy making announcements, Messi is busy making history. At 39 years old, he walks onto the pitch and treats football like it's a training session.Free-kicks, records, trophies, goals β just another day at the office."
π£ "Greatness doesn't need a microphone.
Greatness wears No.10 for Argentina." ππ¦π·ππ₯
Commentary for the second game much better than that dreadful commentary on the first game.
Bang of Andy Gray/Richard Keys energy from the first games team.
Scotland Morocco comms much better. Actually spoke about the game and didn't waffle about old school or Shakira. @rte
