@CrossanBrendan If Yamal had taken that chance after 2 minutes, Argentina would've come out of their shell and we'd have had a good game. Their 120 minutes of anti-football did them no favours
@gideonrachman Just a feeling of disappointment to me. To serve up so much entertainment in the tournament only to spoil it with such a negative anti-football in the final. Their fans are fantastic btw, so much colour and song
@corkfootballpod Playing a lone striker up top in soccer rarely works; playing one player in full forward line in hurling is mentally challenged, not one single pundit has called out Galway mgmt on it
@corkfootballpod@CorkHurlingPod Under the new FRC rules Kerry still spend half their time shovelling the ball around the arc, like all the other counties.
@itsjohncrotty Don't forget Alexis McAllister in the current squad, or Jose Luis Brown who scored the first goal in their final win v W Germany in 1986 Irish Argentines: Foxford to Buenes Aires via Donabate
@KuperSimon Brilliant article. I wonder why the Basques and Catalans produce such a high percentage of the great Spanish teams? There is an irony somewhere in that….
@john_mcguirk It was a colony that won its freedom from the metropole, and it became a republic of colonisers, settlers, slave-owners, sectarian Christians. Very different from Ireland aspired to when our natives won partial freedom from our colonisers.
@corkfootballpod He never interviewed for the job;he got if after Ricken stepped down when Cleary was coach. He's had almost 5 years, next year is his 6th. For a corner forward who relied on quick ball inside, what really disappoints about the Cleary era is the rugby-league style handling game
