@gavin_doyle_ie How's the atmosphere building for Mexico's big game?

[Paul Doyle @Paul_Doyle]

@gavin_doyle_ie And an even better coming up next .... maybe. Damn shame Mané not there

@collumbo They were plod, to be sure

[Paul Doyle @Paul_Doyle]

@LepraGranata Disagree. S Africa performed honourably in that game and scored a great goal (and went on to beat an admittedly ramshackle France)

[Paul Doyle @Paul_Doyle]

@marcos_lm Yes, Papin should have scored at least six against them

[Paul Doyle @Paul_Doyle]

@ShaneyMR They come close, in fairness. And thanks!

[Paul Doyle @Paul_Doyle]

@nellosplendor That's a close call in fairness

[Paul Doyle @Paul_Doyle]

@bulusshehu1 I confess it would be slightly premature to denounce them as the worst ever, so I will be sure to tweet my congratulations if they improve radically by the time they face Senegal and NL.

@dublin_damo Nonsense. That ES team had some fine players - including one genius. https://t.co/eBf4qbh1k5

@MustafaAlAdham5 Do you mean 2002?

[Paul Doyle @Paul_Doyle]

@bocay88 That El Salvador team would hammer Qatar
