    Wonder if this will end in a fine and a Sky Sports presenter asking Messi if he needs educating
    Argentina’s players sang a song which included the words "f***ing English" and made reference to the Falklands War after beating Croatia irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/s…

    Struggling to wrap my head around a US senator warning the football association of another country not to motion for the suspension of yet another country, when his own country & constituents are struggling with a govt shutdown, affordability issues etc
    It is my understanding Ireland is about to make a motion to the European body governing soccer to ban Israel from playing in European soccer tournaments.   Ireland and others would be punishing the Jewish people 80 years after the Holocaust because they choose to fight back

    When the dust settles, and the anger and heartache subside, it's worth remembering... Bazunu: 19-years-old Omobamidele: 19 Idah: 20 Connolly: 21 O'Shea: 22 Molumby: 22 McGrath: 24 Cullen: 25 6/15 that played v Portugal 22 or younger

    "The Finnish players were calling us shit. They didn't respect us. Milan showed their class on and off the pitch." Aaron Greene on @ShamrockRovers' big Euro night, their title bid & taking lessons from Thursday into next year's Euro campaign 🗞 @IrishStarSport

    Born in Singapore 🇸🇬 to a French 🇫🇷 mum and Irish 🇮🇪 dad, and raised in London 🇬🇧, San Diego 🇺🇸 and Portugal 🇵🇹, Boavista prospect Cristiano Fitzgerald could be forgiven for having an identity crisis at international level... but that's not the case

    Shamrock Rovers drawing 1-1 away to a team that, in their last European game, beat Aberdeen 6-0 is something that should be hailed from every single rooftop. But results like this are no longer a novelty. This is a wonderful time to be an Irish (club) football fan.

    There would have been no Giants Stadium in '94 if it wasn't for this man and this moment. RIP Alan McLoughlin

    The only satisfactory outcome to this latest effort by Irish football to custard pie itself in the face is that Stephen Kenny gets full backing from the FAI to purge from his orbit anyone who would try to undermine him in such a slapstick manner. An absolute farce.

    The Colombian Football Federation stopped Irish media from entering, saying they didn't want us to report on their tactics. Some tactics alright. They had picked up two yellow cards BEFORE O'Sullivan's injury
