Off the ball.
GAA. We targeted getting off to a better start than we did against Mayo. We were very disappointed with our first half performance against Mayo. I think we definitely brought a lot of the learnings from that game out there today, particularly the way we defended.

Okay, we've got a full house for this. Phil is here, David's here, Dara's here. The World Cup has started properly. They waited for the stars to arrive. Very Hollywood-esque of everything. And lo and behold, everybody, even Isak and Jokeres are getting in on the act.
Yeah.
Why are you laughing at the two lads? What does that mean? Why are you laughing at them? They're entitled to their moment in the sun, no?
Yeah, he's had a quiet year. He's had a year off. He's been injured. His leg was broken.
He's got a broken leg. You can't really score goals with a broken leg.
Yeah, but... Jacquez scored, what, 20 goals in the Premier League?
Yeah, well, in all competitions. Sorry, in all competitions. Yeah. The real star of the show, though, was Messi last night, so... Mbappé and Haaland as well.
Like, if you were to script... If the boring chat GPT was... Look at Messi's first hat-trick. Mbappé will break his record. Haaland will do two in his first... And you're like... I do like the Norway jerseys as well as an aside Alan could have had his hat trick as well he had a good chance his two goals probably have a combined total of six yards out that's why he's a poacher I think David brought up Argentina because of the jersey he has on there
Yeah, well, I was just thinking this morning, what I put on, it's like, oh, we're doing Inside the Odds. So I just seen a good win last night.
It's a 94 jersey where he spits at the camera.
Yeah. And he was marched off the field by a famous nurse. I've actually forgotten her name now.
And he was off his head on barbiturates. Was it barbiturates? What was he on?
Oh, he was on like a drug that basically reduces your fat.
Makes it thin. that's a zampic a zampic a zampic as far as a zampic yeah anyway We are up and running. England, Croatia are the games we're going to talk about here on the show this morning. England, Croatia, Portugal, DR, Congo, Scotland, Morocco, Brazil, Haiti. We might also have time for USA, Australia, given they both had good performances. America look pretty good, don't they? Yeah, I think out of all the teams I've watched so far, that was probably the most impressive from start to finish performance.
Yeah, you're kind of looking through the US squad, and we talked about it on the segment last week, and you're thinking, oh yeah, he's a good player, like Tyler Adams, good player, Christian Pulisic, good player. Then you look through the clubs who they're all playing at, they're all playing at top European clubs, Juventus, AC Milan, PSV, obviously a couple of players playing in the Premier League as well, like Chris Richards. Pretty good squad. And Pochettino seems to be getting a bit of a song out of them as well at the moment. Pace. They have a lot of pace.
And Pudicic was electric. I mean, they could take him off at halftime.
Confidence player, I think, isn't he?
Yeah. So long as he's not injured, there was definitely the shadow of some injury there. But the pace in the weather might be the combination that ends up winning this. Because, you know, people are talking about there's four quarters, you end up being able to plan for bursts of energy. depending on where the weather is. But you can't actually, you know, if the team is running away from you constantly over the course of the 90 minutes and they use their squad properly. It's interesting, France only used two subs. I'm just not sure about that.
Yeah.
As time goes on.
Yeah, like, and the subs that they do have, like, on the bench, like, obviously, Scherke come on, but... Barclay.
