Ger Gilroy has given it his blessing and Second Captains are quaking in their boots that’s all that matters.
Newstalk go-getters Richard Chambers, Joe Coffey, Raf Diallo and Daniel Kelly collectively known as Team 33 will be blasting out a bi-weekly podcast focusing on all things World Cup.
Richard Chambers writes:
We’re raring to go. Between now and the World Cup Final we’ll be bringing fans the latest news and views with guests from around the world. It’s about opening Irish fans up to how the participating countries are looking at their team’s performances. What sets us apart is our combination of thorough analysis and some great trips down through the years as we explore some of the best and most infamous moments of World Cup history
The Team 33 World Cup podcast will be available for download every Tuesday and Friday from noon on iTunes
Give them the ball and a yard of grass AND a microphone.

A choreographed display by FC Copenhagen fans showing the destruction of the stadium of rivals Brøndby prior to kickoff in a match between the two.
Brøndby fans will no doubt respond with an equally excoriating First World War themed ice-capade.
Slightly longer version with alternative angles here.
Following the release last month of their first knitted football boot – the Samba Primeknit – Adidas has announced the Primeknit FS – a knitted boot and sock combination offering bespoke, laceless, edgeless, toe to calf potential for all manner of prancing, diving and ball dominating shenanigans.
It’s all very similar to Nike’s Flyknit range – announced just a day later – and very hard to tell who’s copying who.

On Tuesday the Guardian reported that three men, Gary Whybrow, Sam Parsons and Peter Ditchman are to appear before magistrates on 4 February charged or allegedly using the word “Yid”.
Last night Tottenham Hotspur F.C. issued a statement:
The Club conducted sentiment research on the use of the Y word amongst our supporters during October last year. We received 11,500 responses and should like to thank fans for the many well-considered and sincere expression of views.
The Club took the decision, with legal advice, not to issue the findings of the research whilst the cases against our fans were progressing so as not to prejudice the proceedings in any way, and in light of yesterday’s developments, this remains the position.
