We established last week that the World Cup takes place, not in Qatar, but on the telly. And the box, so far, has proved a good host. This being a marathon and not a sprint, RTÉ has arguably judged the pace best through the early knockings.

Over on ITV, they might have men going at it, in Keano and Graeme Souness. On the Beeb, Lineker is ‘hilariously trolling’ Micah Richards and they are forever in and out of the England and Wales camps, with Kieffer Moore telling us what he can bring.
