I love the podcast. Wondering if you’d comment on (Cristiano) Ronaldo’s looks: his usual look of confidence, interspersed with that of bewilderment when he misses. Maybe he’ll develop a third look- security- with the penalty goal today.

Description

This is a new podcast from The Irish Times covering the 2026 World Cup in Mexico, Canada and the United States. Join former Irish international Kevin Kilbane and journalist and host Paul Howard for all the big stories, match analysis and special guests.
