Now, welcome everyone. Now, I don't want to puncture anyone's World Cup fever, okay? But I came into the office this morning and I thought, I'll scan around and see what's going on. And the first World Cup quote I saw from anyone... was Keir Starmer, who has told England to dare to dream. Will Slattery, hello to you. Hello, Joe. Over in Munich, Ronan Mullen, hello. Hi, lads. That wasn't all Keir Starmer had to say. He added, we are looking forward to seeing the starting line-up this evening, what it's going to be. And then in a moment where I can imagine his PR team looking around going, hmm, see, see, he knows football. Keir added, and don't take it that the line-ups and the friendlies are going to be the starting line-up for tonight.
That smacks of a, can you say something like, and you accidentally tweet out the whole thing.
So England tonight, we're not going to focus too much on that. Damon Delaney will be with us tomorrow. We thought tomorrow, the one week anniversary of this bonanza, we'll get his overall view, his overall take on the runners and riders, what he's made of it all.
Not to sound like a real subservient person living off the island of the UK, but a major tournament does kick up a notch when England take the field. I do think that. I hate to admit it. I hate to say it. But I think it.
I think it. So Damien Delaney tomorrow will make sense of the football. Today, it's Irish Independence Day. Irish independent people only. We have Dan McDonald, Sean O'Connor and their travels joining us. And then later on, Keane Tracy, Rory O'Connor and the rugby is... Leinster go in search of second URC title in a row on Friday our football coverage as ever sponsored by Sky Sports Sports Extra which you can get on Sky TV or stream with now so World Cup Since we last spoke, since we last did updates, we signed off on Friday with Sweden 5, Tunisia 1. Isak scored, you know, a little crumb of comfort for Liverpool fans. That was Monday. Was that Monday? Sorry. Oh, yeah.
What highlights did Lionel Messi achieve during the World Cup?
Bits and bobs. Bits and bobs. Yeah, yeah. OK, let's go through. Some people said that was quite handy to go through all the games. Could you do that, you know, at intermittent points? Yeah. We're going to do that. We're going to race through the games. Obviously, I'm burying the messy thing.
Well, you only found out... What kind of life do you live when you're outside the office? Like, I came out of a meeting at half eleven this morning. I caught Joe's eye and he was like... Messi scored a hat-trick. I'm just watching it for the first time. And I was just like, how have you not heard of this until now? And I know what happened overnight, but you didn't come in at 6 a.m. You came in at very leisurely, I would say. You came very leisurely. I had some things going on this morning. I'm sure. And it was half 11 and you're like, I'm only getting to this. And I just like, God, what a... Have you kept the phone off since Spain? Like, you just obviously, you just like that so much.
There's been a touch of the hangover. But yeah, look, it was boring morning stuff. Like nothing crazy, but kids and... Yadda, yadda, yeah. And then dropped a crash and then racing. And, you know, on the way in, I was like, I'm going to listen to some music. It was a summer's day. What did you listen to? I had some Olivia Dean on. Okay. Don't want to be down with the kids. Ah, listen, I love her. Oh, my God. And I got into the office and I threw in the laptop and then YouTube and... It just had Argentina highlights and it had a picture of Messi. So I thought, I wonder, did he? It didn't have a score.
