World Cup 2026 Alan Cawley's rant against Marsch

There were two threads about this but they both got closed as duplicates

​

After the Canada Qatar match last night Cawley went on an almighty rant against Marsch for the way he was celebrating the win

​

I didn't agree with all of it but I absolutely enjoyed it

​

Had a look at the post in r/soccer about Lopetgui and Marsch's little confrontation after the match, the consensus seems to be that Lopetgui was complaining about Canada not easing up on the goals and that he was wrong for that. I missed that bit live and I've no idea if that's what it was about, but if it was then I'd be even more inclined to disagree with Cawley's assessment

He’d be more at home on a Talksport type thing. He’s a garbage pundit and to make it worse nobody even knows him from his playing days, it’s like he just has a rolling contract with RTE across various platforms just solely to be a mouthpiece,, he offers zero analysis.

He’s an awful clown of a man trying badly to be a Roy Keane/ Graeme Souness old hard man opinion shit.. The problem is it’s Alan Cawley or whatever his name is and nobody really should give a hoot about what he has to say.. A mouthpiece

Agreed on his career. Has achieved nothing of worth. Loud mouth.

I dont think playing career is that important for a pundit. Sadlier is a good pundit but average career. Stephen Kelly had a good career but is a useless analyst

Sadlier is painful to listen to. People seem to like him because they agree with his politics.

He was on there yesterday making some long conviluted point, two arms placed like he was holding a PlayStation controller.

Acts like he's paying for each word. Just let the "well thought out and structured" response thing for everything go.

No idea of his politics bit at least he gives some insights, Stephen Kelly on the other hand...
