This game has been exceptionally bad for it. But they are all taking the piss because they know the ref is shit IMHO.
Everybody over here in particular has been gunning for Cabo Verde, initially because of their centre half, Pico Lopez, being born, raised and playing in Dublin for Shamrock Rovers, but obviously, itâs a heartwarming underdog tale. And for the purists, theyâve been playing absolutely phenemonal, calm, fearless football, going toe to toe with 3 different previous WC winners and involved in hugely entertaining games, giving it everything till the bitter end.
Itâs one thing that the smaller nations will always appreciate, those all too rare trips to a big tournament, where you were when the match winner went in, the entire experience of the tournament. Think of Wales vs Belgium in Euro 2016 with Hal Robson Kanuâs clincher - England are never the plucky underdog, ha.
One of the Irish TV pundits made a good point about this after the Ecuador win over Germany to qualify for the last 32, that these sort of wins become generational cultural events. Ray Houghton is doing commentary on Irish TV and he scored the winner vs England in Euro 88 and against Italy in WC 94. The same pundit mentioned that every time heâs out in Dublin with Houghton, all sorts of people come up to him to tell him what they were doing on those game days 30+ years ago, how the day went, the celebrations into the night, what it meant to them, and thanks for shaping some epic memories.

10 minutes of added time just rewards Paraguayâs time wasting.

TBF nearly all the games I get to are League of Ireland, so the standard is a little more achievable than Messi.
Christian Ericsson at his Spurs peak.
Ireland were playing Denmark, again, this time in a final qualification play-off for 2018 WC back in Nov 2017, winner takes all. Ireland went 1-0 up after 2 minutes via a goal-mouth scramble and proceeded to sit back and defend the lead. Every single time Ericsson got the ball, the entire stadium winced, held its breath and felt abject pity for the Irish squad who kept backing off, giving him space and letting him shoot. He totally dominated the game, scoring a hat-trick and Denmark ended up winning 5-1, the igmony topped off by a penalty converted by Nichola Bentner who was at Juventus at the time, where he couldnât sell a single replica shirt with his name in the Juve club store.

Has he only booked French players? No yellows for Paraguay? Remember the ref didnât want to give the pen either, VAR made him⌠so dodgy.
