Pico Lopes joins RTÉ World Cup panel for Argentina and England ties
Republic of Ireland WNT manager Carla Ward will be in studio for tonight’s coverage of Spain v Portugal.
ROBERTO ‘PICO’ LOPES has joined RTÉ’s World Cup panel after a superb run through the tournament with Cape Verde, the broadcaster has announced.
The Shamrock Rovers star returned to a hero’s welcome earlier today at Dublin Airport after falling just short of a shock result against defending World Cup champions Argentina in extra-time last Friday.
He will be in the RTÉ studio for Argentina’s last-16 clash with Egypt on Tuesday, and will feature again for the quarter-final meeting of England and Norway on Saturday.
