What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYahoo Sports reports Northern Ireland lost four-nil to Portugal, all but ending World Cup hopes.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFor Kess Elmore, it was an international debut he thought had passed. Thermometer's out. Kenji, take one.

  3. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA four-nil debut is the best debut. Zero pressure. You can only improve, and the other team already did your homework.

  4. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHot. Low expectations are a warm blanket.

  5. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMy take: late debuts beat early ones. I was first asked to leave an embassy at fifty. Best year of my career.

  6. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNot. Nobody asked you to debut.

  7. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThey asked me to leave. It is the same door.

  8. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentGloria!

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMy take: I want a four-nil loss at my retirement party. Scoreboard, guest book, everything. Hottest one yet.
