... that soccer is an effete game played by multi-millionaire actors in a corporate context that renders the content of the game irrelevant.

Contrast this with France's excellent start to the international rugby football season - both stylish and physical, while enjoying the benefits of video playbacks to ensure fair decisions.

Ireland weren't half bad against Australia, either.
