For the night that’s in it.

It’s nearly time for the big game and we can’t stay calm any longer.  So we thought we’d post this montage from the end of our video about trying to win the World Cup with Ireland on FIFA. If you haven’t watched that yet then make sure to check it out also. It will also help the Dembélé reference in the monologue above make a lot more sense…

Get Pumped For Tonight With The Balls.ie Irish Football Monologue (Balls.ie)

‘The Dream‘ is a nationwide search for undiscovered young Irish football talent to compete in local trials to win a chance to trial for the Nike Academy in London exclusive to Life Style Sports in Ireland.

Debbie Byrne, Marketing Director for Life Style Sports sez:

“ Over 30% of young players who train with Nike Academy go on to secure professional contracts with top international clubs. In the past three seasons alone, twenty ambitious and talented players who attended the Academy have turned professional with high profile clubs, including Celtic FC star Tim Rogic.”

To enter, players are asked to submit a ‘football CV’ to thedream@lifestylesports.com before midnight on Friday, August 15.  A shortlist of young football talent “will gather in Dublin on August 21st to be put through their paces by a team of Nike Academy coaches”.

No cash, Premiership offers, etc. were given for this post although Life Style Sports gave us German jerseys to giveaway last week.

Priest Alexander Shumsky seems to have taken particular exception to the brightly colored footwear on display in Brazil, writing in his column on Christian website Russian People’s Line that players who wear green, yellow, pink or blue shoes helped promote the “gay rainbow.”
“Wearing pink or blue shoes, [the players] might as well wear women’s panties or a bra,” Shumsky wrote, adding that he was also offended by the “unthinkable” hairstyles of some of the players in Brazil.

He’s one  to talk, in fairness…
