😭🇮🇪 Roy Keane delivered another classic line on the Overlap today and had Gary Neville and Ian Wright in stitches:
🗣️ Keane: “Gary was telling me he went through a bad spell of form after the EUROs for about 6 months because of relationship issues. WOW. Really? WOW.”
🗣️ Neville: “I obviously had a captain at the time who I didn’t feel I could go to.” 😂
🗣️ Keane: “If a full-back is going through relationship issues, it doesn’t mean he can’t stop a cross does it?"
"No I’m being serious: That shouldn’t stop you from closing your winger down: 'Oh my girlfriend’s broke up with me because she’s got her eyesight back'.”
“You can still stop crosses, that shouldn’t effect ya.” 😂
The thing is, Roy is absolutely spot on, but his delivery is always on point. 👏
Emotional return for Dick Advocaat 🥺

About to watch the World Cup in the pub when a fella said to me ‘I bet you can’t name 3 Qatar players’
I replied - George Harrison, Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton

🚨 Jürgen Klopp has launched a scathing attack on the cooling breaks being used during this World Cup. 👊
"Football is being held hostage by executives sitting in air-conditioned offices.
These breaks are being presented as a shield for player welfare, a noble weapon against the heat. In reality, they are nothing more than a golden cage built for sponsors.
When I saw players standing around during cooling breaks while television timeouts dictated the rhythm of the match, I couldn't help but ask myself: who is the World Cup really serving?
The supporters? The players? Or the advertisers?
A World Cup match should flow like a river. Instead, we are building dams in the middle of it so commercials can be shown.
It's dangerous for the spirit of the game. Football used to be the main event, but it now risks becoming background music for an advertising show."
He didn't hold back. 👏👏
