THE WORLD CUP obviously had our readers excited this week as there were a plethora of witty remarks and stinging rebukes in the ever-lively comments section.
Good shout I love my County, we do need Super Bowl-style rings for GAA:
If the GAA done rings, Henry Shefflin would be like Mr T walking around…..
David Gaffney ponders whether Rory McIlroy will have (another) change of heart after his announcement that he will represent Ireland at the Olympics.
And then he decides next week that he made a premature decision and the explanation goes something like this (“Olympics” substituted by me for “wedding” – the rest is all his.)
“The problem is mine. The Olympic invitations issued at the weekend made me realize that I wasn’t ready for all that the Olympics entails.”
I wonder did Nash have a long run up for his tee shot.
Del McG brings us Philippe Saint-Andre’s guide to team selection
How to pick a team, the PSA way:
1) Get two hats
2) Fill one hat with all the players’ names
3) Fill the other hat with the positions on the field (Bench positions optional)
4) Draw the names & positions out at random, quality of opposition notwithstanding
Example:
“OK, garcons, the first position out of the hat is… Number 5 lock!… And the player filling that position is… Drum roll please!… Morgan Parra!”
Don’t change, Phil. Don’t you ever change.
There isn’t a whole lot of love for Brazil’s first choice striker.
Fred wouldn’t get a game with killkenny junior b football team.
We’ve been getting messages from people following the World Cup from the strangest places.
Watching this in a biker bar in Estonia,trying and failing to act cool and keep it together ha.
This sucks, I’m in Senegal on work and all they have on TV is soccer!! Plse keep the posts coming faster so that I can drink the local beer and sing like a proper rugby fan! Go Ireland!!!

We brought you a brilliant World Cup-related text about not missing intermediate and junior hurling training this week. And this was the best response:
Typical. The seniors get to watch the match.
There were plenty of puntastic jokes going around when Spain got knocked out of the World Cup on Wednesday.
