A bit of character from Ireland in the second half but they look way off the pace tonight. Outplayed in almost every aspect of the game. The inability to change course when the kicking game wasn't working, that lack of adaptability and nous, is worrying.

#FraVIre

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Something that the frenetic comentators and journos really don't seem to get or say enough is what a fucking boring blowhard Trump really is. He is just a bore. Dull, dumb crap relentlessly spewed all over everyone. Blah blah blah...🥱
