Ireland put up quite a good fight in Lisbon. Selecção reverting to its bad ways, I guess.
Portugal 1 Ireland 0
Goal scored by Rúben Neves in stoppage time. Ronaldo missed a penalty or rather a great save by the Irish goalkeeper, Kelleher.

Lots of penalties missed, even Haaland missed one, earlier in the day.

Italy 3 Estonia 1

Nice fluke by the Italian goalkeeper, without consequences.

I believe his "argument" was again being more about Tylenol than the circumcision itself...so that is kind of a mix of RFK nuttery and misleading reporting.

His statement was a direct one about circumcision, and an indirect one about Tylenol. The reporting is quoting him and so not misleading.

Quoting can be misleading as well if done out of context.  That's especially so for incoherent or rambling people who may require a very large context window for their quotes to be interpreted as intended.

I am not sure what point you are making here. What do you believe RFK Jr intended us to take from his statement, and how can you tell that that is what he intended?

incoherence is best translated by incoherent people?

Interesting point there... I expect some countries looking to qualify might well be political trouble.
Iran are usually good and are  topping their table....

Clever. Israel not in a position to qualify means less political trouble. 

As long as Italy wins vs Estonia. They just missed a penalty but are still leading 1-0.

Well, 2-0 now.
