@McDonnellDan Stephen Bradley said they were vulnerable at set pieces

@offtheball @novibet_ie We have a high chance of a great tournament in 2 years time, lots to be hopeful about 🙏🇮🇪

[Colin Dunne @colpdunne]

Great to see these debutant countries getting the 0-0 draw that we had in 1990.🇮🇪⚽️🇨🇻🇨🇼

Cape Verde's result against Spain is even more remarkable now seeing that Spain have already scored 3 goals against Saudi Arabia in first half, they are bound to be confident of a result against Uruguay 🙏🇨🇻🇮🇪⚽️

[Hakeem Jeffries @hakeemjeffries]

Cape Verde’s star goalie Vozinha and his mom Ana Candida Evora have been reunited.

The Cinderella story continues today as she watches her son and the Blue Sharks play Uruguay.

The Scottish fans are a credit to Scotland, I hope they make World Cup 2030 along with the Green Army🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤝 🇮🇪⚽️

We were honoured to receive this parting letter from @RedSox President, Sam Kennedy, following our stay in Boston.

Fifa please stop ruining the beautiful game 🙏

Marcelo Bielsa: “Jugar cuatro tiempos en lugar de dos altera la concepción que culturalmente se había construido para interpretar el fútbol. No le agrega nada y le quita mucho. Cuando se dividió en cuatro no se pensó en el efecto que puede tener sobre lo que hizo que el fútbol sea un deporte que enamora, sino que se pensó en otro tipo de repercusiones que no las discuto ni las analizo. Antes de esta decisión el fútbol tenía una característica; ahora tiene otra. La gente se enamora del juego por sus características”.

@Paulmcgrath5 You definitely inspired many Paul including Pico 😀🇮🇪🇨🇻⚽️

The 18-year-old Moroccan Ayoubb Bouaddi who plays like a World Cup veteran (he's also good at maths btw) and what that says about the psychological strength of modern footballers. Me @FT.com quoting Mbappé, Wenger, FC Barcelona psychologists, Jack Grealish https://t.co/EqXwjOQrW9

[Colin Dunne @colpdunne]

@McDonnellDan @eireguide Look forward to reading, my memory of McClean playing for Ireland is a. a crunching tackle after coming on at home b. the great finish from a fabulous Hoolahan assist in Vienna and c. the volley in Cardiff 💪🇮🇪⚽️

Scenes reminiscent of Dublin after our 1-1 draw with England in our first World Cup in Italia 90

[Leyla Hamed @leylahamed]

Congolese fans are out in the streets celebrating that draw against Portugal. They had never scored a goal at a World Cup before. Absolute scenes in Kinshasa.

Expanding this tournament to include more teams is giving us some of the best moments by far.

Dunphy knew long ago

This fella, Ronaldo, is a cod

[Gavin Cooney @gcooney93]

Commuting Ronaldo's suspension is the best thing Fifa have done for DR Congo since expanding the World Cup

[Suzie rizzio @Suzierizzo1]

This needs to go Viral! In Atlanta for the FIFA World Cup game between Spain & Cabo Verde a fan wearing a Spain jersey gestured to a Cabo Verde fan asking if he would like to swap jerseys & he said excitedly said Yes so they traded jerseys & hugged for what seemed like forever.

[Colin Dunne @colpdunne]

" Vozinha had made seven saves. Only one goalkeeper in history, the great Pat Jennings, has made more saves in a World Cup match aged 40 or older...for Northern Ireland against Brazil in 1986, aged 41" Josimar who he is named after scored against Jennings https://t.co/jYucL4ZNFk

[The42.ie @The42_ie]

Pico Lopes' 99-year-old grandfather, Telley, still works his farm in Cape Verde, and was in front of the TV for Monday’s historic 0-0 draw with Spain.

“He watches every single match Cape Verde play,” Carlos, Pico's dad, tells The 42.

@paddypower Kenny Cunningham will be ecstatic

[Colin Dunne @colpdunne]

#WorldCup Spain lost their first game in 2010 and still won the cup, plenty of football yet to play 🇪🇸

[Colin Dunne @colpdunne]

His dad must be so happy with his son Josimar 🇧🇷🇨🇻

[Colin Millar @Millar_Colin]

Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha, the hero vs Spain, was born during the 1986 World Cup. His father submitted two options for his son's name inspired by that tournament: the first was Jorge Valdano, rejected by the island's registry, and Josimar, honouring Brazil's star (accepted).
