Tuesday.

One of them's out, obviously.

And when you see some of the other permutations in the teams that will qualify for the last 16, it does seem a bit unbalanced.

And how many games would you miss?

But there weren't many people complaining about a 32-team World Cup.

Like...

maybe people looking at the potential revenue.

And then the Dutch were rewarded with a game against Germany.

With four points.

It's like we told you we only needed a draw.

Clearly everyone between Australia and Paraguay knew four points isn't enough.

It's been less grim than advertised.

Possibly the fact that people are missing half the games is possibly helping too.

But no, like Ecuador-Germany, even last night, was a really good game.

I suppose the power of necessity, you could nearly see that.

That game, which wasn't broadcast on RTE, actually, was...

It was on BBC.

But you could see that turning into a very competitive game.

Ecuador are really good against Ivory Coast, even though they lost.

Can't say I saw the Curacao game, but it's allowed.
