The Hungarians have no one to blame only themselves. They wasted so much time between feigning injuries and making substitutions. It cost them in the end and fair play to Ireland for staying in the game and taking their chances in the end.

President Trump has now ordered the release of the Epstein files, also it looks as though he has brokered a peace deal for the Ukraine, and still the msm are spinning against him constantly.
Whatever you think of him, I think he had the msm media well sussed.

Yes indeed, and number 4 for Hungary was a disaster.....gave away penalty and didn't deal with the last balll for 3rd goal.

Lol he ordered the release of the files because Congress Republicans were going to vote to release them anyway. You can look it up.

President Trump feting Ronaldo in the White house. Not a good sign for our World cup hopes.

I don't think they could be released without him ordering it and agreeing to it though, Zelensky has no cards now to play it seems, the Russians have them over a barrel.

It never ceases to amaze me how supporters of Mr T can swing anything around to suit their narrative. He had no choice but to release those files as he had been backed into a corner and couldn't hold his base. That "peace deal" he "brokered" for Ukraine is a total sell out to his pal, Putin. It will be interesting to see how far that goes. Zelensky has been warned that if he doesn't accept, American support is gone. I'm not going down that msm rabbit hole. Believe what you like, actual facts won't change no matter who reports them, or tries to spin them.

Different topic but I wonder do any of you consider Ulster Scots to be an actual language? I think it's just a dialect myself. Some joke imo where they have signs written up in english Irish and Ulster Scots.

Those files will have been scrubbed. Anyone who thinks different is living in cloud cuckoo land.

As for the "peace deal" in Ukraine, reports say it will included Ukraine seeding huge chunks of the country to Russia and reducing their military in size. I do t know how any Irish republican could praise a deal where an invader gets to keep part of the country they invaded….it happened here.

If there is anything in them that implicates him there won't be a full release of them. That's for sure. And as someone else pointed out he is only talking about releasing them because he has lost his MAGA friends in congress. As for praising him on Ukraine? We have seen nothing. Look at the Israel ceasefire. Again this is the man who never shut up about ending the Ukraine war in 24 hours. Over and over and over .

After saying he would release them before last years election he then refused to release them for some strange reason after he was elected, maybe that makes sense to you.
As for Ukraine 'peace' deal himself and Putin have carved up Ukraine between them even though the Russians haven't conquered regions they will get and basically Ukraine will be controlled by Russia because of restrictions put on them. I wouldn't call it a deal, I'd call it a capitulation from Trump. Luckily the Ukrainians have more backbone than the orange one and won't give up their own land. Trump would rather defend Saudi murdering prince's than stand up and do the right thing for ordinary people.

That's the trouble with spin, a along the media have been saying how well Ukraine is doing, but the fact is the Russians have them beaten on the ground despite all the billions and weaponry the west has thrown at it.
This was a proxy war between the USA and Russia, it makes sense that they settle it between them. No one wants to see it escalate any further.

You could replace supporters with detractors for your sentence too

I find it odd on two counts if there was dirt on trump why didnt Biden get files released

On the other hand if there was no dirt on him trump stalling releasing them is off too

My gut is the files will be underwhelming

The Ukraine deal is awful and has left them in a no win situation.

Getting rid of Zelensky may be no harm though

Trump has his good and bad side. He'll not be fooled by Ukraine's leader and he has a point about immigration but the Epstein files could cost him and rightly so.

Well I have a lot more confidence in them than I had a few weeks ago. I guess I can thank Parrott for that. lol.

No it wasn't a fluke. Matches are like that sometimes. Hang around long enough and good things can happen. I don't understand some of the posters here thinking the Czechs will be easy. I wish I had their confidence. lol.
