Bringing the daily mourinho news to the Irish guy 4 years ago manchester united played a very important game against Newcastle. They needed to win to stay in the top 6 after a shaky start to the season. The day of the game breaking news comes out that jose mourinho will be sacked after this game no matter the result. This was quite disrespectful from the press and debates on major media outlets were made before the game on weather this was fair to jose walking into old Trafford basically as a dead man walking. Jose himself kept quiet and focused on the game which started very badly. Newcastle was 2-0 up at half time but in the 2nd half Jose stayed very calm just writing notes on his famous notebook and united made a stunning comeback to win 3-2 . After the final whistle jose turned to the camera raising his little finger and saying in Portuguese "To hell with all of you". Then after the game he gave a legendary post match interview "This is the victory of the players not me. I think what happened before the match had an impact on them. This is the first time in my life that I see a man hunt this strong and I'm a big boy I can cope with it but it impacted my players in the first half. Rashford was scared to play on the pitch. Hereira was scared to play despite the fact that they are not the ones being hunted. I guess this is what you guys call modern football. I don't know... I use to love this sport and I still love it but lots of weakness. Dishonesty. Betrayal and lack of integrity. If it rains tomorrow in London it's my fault. If England can't be clever enough to find a right deal for the brexit it's my fault so that's fine I'm used to it " He also had some chosen words for Paul Scholes who was heavily critical of him " I think Paul will go down as a fantastic player and as a terrible pundit. If he ever becomes a manager I wish him to have 25% of my success. I've won 25 trophies. I never did 2 back to back seasons without silverware in over 15 years so if he can have even 25% of my success he will be able to talk to me about football " Jose was not sacked after that game. But he was sacked after a 3-1 loss to Liverpool à few days after that leaving the club with a community shield. A league cup. A Europa league. A 2nd place finish. A post Ferguson record points tally of 81 points and an fa cup final in 2 years and a half."

The Group G and Group H predictions: Group G: 4th - Cameroon - Since they finished 3rd, he "will eat a pizza off a public road" 3rd - Switzerland - Nope, they got 2nd 2nd - Serbia - An unFOURtunate result. "There is goals in this team (sic)". They DID lead the group in goals scored with 5, tied for 6th-best. They also did "begin the group by losing to Brazil 2-0", but tied Cameroon 3-3, instead of winning 4-1. And while they were 2-2 with Switzerland for a while, the Swiss came back and got a 3rd to take 2nd 1st - Brazil - C'mon. Although they did not win every match. But they probably could have. Group H: 4th - Ghana - DING! 3rd - South Korea - Nope, 2nd. And they did not "lose to Uruguay (0-0), thump Ghana (lost 3-2), and lose to Portugal (won 2-1)" 2nd - Uruguay - Nope. 3rd. Tough on this one. If Uruguay scored ONE MORE GOAL, we'd have another 4-for-4 group. 1st - Portugal - DING! But not "3 wins in 3". FINAL IRISH GUY PREDICTION SCORE: 19 right, 13 wrong. I'll bet he out performed most pundits, tbh.
