World Cup Upsets: Do we secretly hate them? | The Breakfast Buffet | OFF THE BALL BREAKFAST

It’s a brand new Breakfast Buffet on Off The Ball Breakfast — where Colm, Enda, Dara & Matt bring a few topics to the table (and yes, they spend a worrying amount of time debating the rules of a hotel breakfast buffet, including Southeast Asia’s elite standard).

Then it’s World Cup chat with a twist: if players represented their parents’ countries, who benefits most — Senegal, Nigeria, Morocco… or Ireland?

They also ask the unpopular question: do we actually want upsets at a World Cup, or do we secretly just want the big boys deep into the knockout rounds?

Plus: the most unceremonious sporting departures, from LeBron’s “Decision” to Gerrard’s grim Liverpool send-off as well as Katie Taylor's undercard!
