I don't get nervous... but in the week of leading up to a first qualifying game for an international tournament, I'm starting to get a little bit shaky.

Ireland play Hungary on Saturday and it's pretty fair to say that our ambitions of doing Walk It In live from the Dallas-Forth Worth area next summer depend on a positive result this weekend. Despite it being only the first game of the World Cup 2026 qualifying, it's crucial that @irelandfootball get off to a good start by winning against our biggest rivals for a qualification spot (Portugal are assumed to be too good for us). Will we crash and burn after just 90 minutes, or will Saturday mark the beginning of an epic adventure that ends with Nathan Collins grasping Donald Trump's luminous orange hand before hoisting the World Cup into the air? COYBIG.

The NFL is finally back this weekend, with some choice games on the slate. RedZone has now added ads in what is the most 2025 move of all - gone are those 7 magical hours of commercial free football every Sunday in autumn/winter. If you've never watched NFL, don't let that put you off - with more international games than ever, there's high chance the NFL will be playing a match out your back window one day, so now is a great time to develop a love for the sport.
