Ireland keep dream alive, Ronaldo's histrionics and England beat Serbia – Football Weekly Extra

Ireland's Last-Ditch Effort Keeps Euro Dreams Alive, Meanwhile Ronaldo's Tantrum in Portugal and England's Win Over Serbia Raise More Questions.

The Republic of Ireland's slim chances of qualifying for the European Championship took a significant boost after they beat Portugal 2-0 at home. The win was all the sweeter with Cristiano Ronaldo being given his marching orders by the referee, followed by an on-field outburst that left many in stunned silence.

In other news, England edged past Serbia 2-0 at Wembley Stadium, a game that was marked by questions surrounding the identity of the team's number ten and the search for a suitable replacement for the departed Harry Kane. The match also raised concerns about the left flank, with Gareth Southgate's decision to start Raheem Sterling proving contentious.

On the podcast this week, football finance expert Kieran Maguire joined the panel to discuss the implications of World Cup dynamic pricing on fan revenue and the role of cryptocurrency in sponsoring sports teams. The team also answered listener questions on a range of topics, including transfer news and coaching changes.
 
OMG u guys I'm literally DYING over Ronaldo's tantrum lol what was he even thinking?! 😂🙄 i mean i know he's known for being kinda drama queen but 2 red cards in one match is just wild. anyway back to Ireland they gotta keep this momentum goin if they wanna make it to the Euros lol and England's win over Serbia was pretty sweet too although that number ten conundrum has me stumped what's goin on w/ Gareth Southgate & co? 🤔👀
 
i'm loving ireland's chances now!! 2-0 is huge and yeah cant believe ronaldo had to be sent off like that 🤣😂 what's going on with him? and england's win over serbia is def a good sign but do they really know who their number ten is gonna be?? seems like it's all getting pretty messy 🤔👀
 
I mean, I know Ronaldo's outburst was pretty intense 🤯 but let's not forget Ireland just got that big win over Portugal! It's been ages since they've had a bit of success in the Euro qualifiers, so this is huge for their chances 🇮🇪...and it's also making me wonder if they'll actually make it to the next stage 😅. Meanwhile, England's result over Serbia was pretty impressive too 👏, but I'm still not convinced about that left flank thing...what do you think? Should Raheem Sterling be the new number ten for England 🤔?
 
Man I'm loving the drama with Ronaldo's outburst 🤯! You can't make this stuff up, Portugal getting thrashed 2-0 at home is a huge wake-up call for them. Meanwhile Ireland's win is super encouraging for their Euro hopes, but you gotta wonder if they'll be able to keep it going? And England's win over Serbia was a solid performance, but Gareth Southgate needs to figure out that left flank ASAP 🤔. The transfer news is getting more and more interesting, I'm excited to see how this all plays out. And can we talk about the finance side of things for a sec? Dynamic pricing for the World Cup? That's wild 💸. Bring on the podcast!
 
I'm loving Ireland's chances now lol they really took Portugal down, can't wait for the rest of the tournament 🤩. And oh man Ronaldo's temper is legendary, I mean who needs that kind of drama on the field? 😂 as for england vs serbia, idk about the number ten thing, maybe they should've stuck with Kane 🙄 and what's up with Raheem Sterling anyway? does he really need that much attention? 🤷‍♂️
 
I'm keeping an eye on this Euro business... Ireland's win over Portugal is a big deal, but it's hard to tell if they're for real. I mean, 2-0 at home is one thing, but beating Portugal without Ronaldo? That's like saying the US could beat Brazil in soccer if Messi wasn't playing 🤦‍♂️.

And what's with England's win over Serbia? It's not just about the result, it's about how they got there. I'm still thinking Gareth Southgate's tactics are a bit dodgy, and that Raheem Sterling is not the answer to all their problems 💪.

But hey, at least Portugal's drama has brought some attention to Ronaldo's antics 🤣. Maybe he'll be the one who brings his team back from the brink? Only time will tell...
 
So Ireland's Euro hopes are back on track 🇮🇪 after Portugal got served up some defeat 🤣 Ronaldo's tantrum was on par with me when I spilled coffee all over my shirt this morning ☕️, talk about a red card moment! And England's win over Serbia raises more questions than how do they fit in that number ten role? Is it Sterling or who's next? Gareth Southgate must be like "I don't know, can someone just make up the number 10 jersey already?" 😂
 
I mean, think about it... these wins for Ireland and England... do they really just give us fleeting feelings of hope or are we just delaying the inevitable? Like, we know there's only so many matches left in the schedule, and if teams aren't on a hot streak already, what makes them think they can turn things around now? And Ronaldo's tantrum... is it just the heat getting to him or does that just reveal something deeper about his own vulnerabilities?

And what about England's win over Serbia? Is Gareth Southgate trying to keep the status quo or is he shaking things up for a change of pace? Do they really need to find a new number ten, or are they just playing with fire by trying to recapture old magic? It's all so... human. We're always searching for answers, but sometimes the questions themselves are what make life worth living 🤔
 
🤕 so the irish just beat portugal 2-0 and now they're still a shot at euro 2024... good for them, but what about the rest of europe? is it all gonna be like this where teams just get lucky and make it in 🙄 Ronaldo's having a meltdown tho, maybe he's finally getting old 😂 and england's just trying to figure out who their number ten is... meanwhile, serbia's just over there wondering what hit 'em 🤯
 
OMG 🤩, I'm so hyped for Ireland's win over Portugal! 2-0 is a MASSIVE result and it's got to boost their Euro dreams for sure 💪🏼. And Ronaldo's meltdown? 😂 priceless! I mean, who gets sent off in the last game of the season and then loses it on the pitch? Not exactly the image you want for your national team 🙃.

But anyway, enough about that drama. The bigger picture is Ireland's chances now and I think they've really got a fighting chance 💕. And England's win over Serbia was a great result too! It shows they're still strong as a team 🙌. Can't wait to see what happens next in the tournament 🤔💥
 
🤔 I'm not surprised Portugal got smashed by Ireland, they've been struggling all season 🙅‍♂️. But what's with Ronaldo's tantrum? You'd think he'd be more classy than that 🤷‍♂️. And England beating Serbia isn't exactly a massive shock either 😐. Still, it does raise questions about their squad depth and Kane's departure... not sure if they're gonna make it to the Euros yet 🤞
 
OMG u guys I'm literally shook by Ronaldo's tantrum 🤯😂 what a diva! I mean who throws their toys out the pram like that? And Ireland finally beats Portugal 2-0? That's insane! I've got to admit I was rooting for them, they're so underdog but they pulled it off 💪🏽🇮🇪. England's win over Serbia was also epic, but what's with the drama around Sterling and Kane's absence? 🤔 It's like Southgate is juggling too many egos 😂. And can we talk about how ridiculous cryptocurrency sponsoring sports teams sounds? Like who's going to trust a team sponsored by Dogecoin 🐶😂? Anyway, I'm loving this podcast tho!
 
I'm loving the drama that's unfolding in the soccer world right now! Ronaldo's tantrum was totally priceless 🤣😂. I mean, who throws their boots at someone when they're already getting sent off? Meanwhile, Ireland's win is super inspiring - 2-0 at home against Portugal is huge! 🍀🏆

But let's talk about England vs Serbia... that left flank is still a mystery to me 🤔. I get what Southgate was trying to do, but it's not working out. And what's up with the number ten conundrum? Can't they just figure it out already? 😩 I'm all for trying new things, but sometimes stability is key.

And on a totally different note, that football finance expert podcast sounds fascinating! Crypto sponsoring sports teams? That's like something out of a sci-fi movie 🚀. I'd love to hear more about it - maybe someone can break down the numbers for me... 💸
 
ugh man i feel for ireland, they're literally running out of time 🕰️💔 but at least they managed to beat portugal 2-0 lol that was super savage on cristiano ronaldo 🤣 meanwhile england's win over serbia is giving me mixed vibes... idk what's going on with that team rn? seem like there's a lot of uncertainty surrounding their players, esp when it comes to the number ten spot 🤔👀 anyway, gotta give those irish fans some major props for staying positive despite all odds 😊
 
just watched that epic Ronaldo meltdown lol 😂 2-0 win for Ireland is def huge tho, they gotta keep that momentum going 👏 meanwhile england's struggles with kane's departure got me thinking, is it time for southgate to bring in some fresh blood at the striker position 🤔 also, who starts next to Sterling on the left flank? needs to be sorted ASAP 🚨
 
I'm so stoked about Ireland's win 🙌🏼! I mean, who doesn't love underdogs coming out on top? 😄 It's like, their chances just got a serious boost, and that Portugal game was all about Ronaldo's tantrum 💥. Like, I get it, he's had a bad day, but still! And England beating Serbia? That's like, the ultimate win 🏆. But seriously, those questions surrounding their team identity are like, super interesting. Who do they pick as their new number ten? It's all about experimentation and finding what works for them. And Gareth Southgate making some bold moves with Raheem Sterling... it's like, either he's a genius or completely clueless 😂. Either way, I'm here for it! 🎉
 
omg what's going on with ronaldo 🤯 2-0 win for irland tho! 🇮🇪 glad they got that 3 points 💥 now can't wait to see how the rest of europe playoffs shake out 👀 thinking england vs serbia was weird tho 👎 what's up with sterling not being in his right position tho? 🤔 maybe southgate should've given jeff henderson a shot 😏 anyway, hope we get some exciting transfer rumors soon 💸
 
Ugh I dont get why Ronaldo is always throwing tantrums 🙄. Its like he cant even accept losing without making a scene. And what was with the 2-0 win for Ireland? was it just a lucky day or actually a solid team effort? also, what was with the England vs Serbia game? Sterling on the left flank is so not going to cut it in the euros...
