Transcript

This is easily the most satisfying and deserved red card you will ever see. This red card was handed out to the Israeli player in their Nations League match versus Austria in Austria today. And so what he did is he went after he scored a goal, went to the corner, got the flag, and pretended to use it as a blaster. You know, given the state of things with Israel right now, that was a choice. But here's where it just it gets worse. Because Israel isn't in Europe, obviously. Uh, they're a guest in the tournament: permanently. Problem is, Europe doesn't want them in the tournament. There's petitions going around Ireland right now asking the people to step up and cancel the match versus Israel this upcoming Sunday in the Nation's League, cause the Irish don't want any part of it. It's already bad enough that the Israel F.A. went and colonized, I mean, copied the Irish F.A. badge. I mean, look, it's identical. And all this celebration did was piss off the Austrians so much that they ended up scoring two goals at the end of the game to just put them away and win 3 to 1. This is just so bad, because nobody wins in this situation. The tournament looks bad, everything just looks bad. After all the good stuff from the World Cup, this happens. So, if you do support the Irish, go support them in their petition. And if you don't want them to play? But if y'all still do play, Viva Irlanda.
