Yes!

Today marks the start of World Cup 2018 and although Ireland aren’t there, it doesn’t mean we can’t have a World Cup song.
Ireland may not be the greatest footballing nation in the world (despite what the song says), but no one beats us on nostalgia and that’s what comes through here.
We Are Ireland is a homage to the spirit of the Irish football fans…

Just stop this now
Why aren’t we in the World Cup?
Christian Eriksen
Even bendtner scored against us FFS..
Because we are crap. The Irish squad all have careers in the big money British premier league, why would they risk exerting themselves and risk possible career ending injuries for international tournaments? For the fans? Most of whom only tune into football once every 2 years for the Euro or World Cup and barely know the rules? Cant say I blame them, it’s just not in the individual players interest.
Mostly Championship players now Pat.
and for whom the world cup would have been the best opportunity to secure “careers in the big money British premier league” – so they’d have had more incentive than most to exert themselves for the international team
so pat’s talking utter sh 1te
Mostly Championship players and Premier League subs. The foreign player influx in the Premier league pushed out the culture of young Irish lads being scouted in large numbers. Its a real shame, but thats how it goes when buckets of money are thrown in.
i think it’s got a lot too to do with the resurgence of hurling and football in dublin (especially) and the huge increase in popularity of rugby all over ireland – and that’s been happening for the last 10+ years
that other football’s not really getting a look in
I’m of the opinion, I’m no expert on the whole soccer thing, but is it because of England, who won the World Cup in 1966? Most things are England’s fault – 300ish years of oppression in Ireland, The Famine, The Civil War, 6 Counties Partition, Shoot to kill policy, oh and Brexit?
Please tell me you’re joking…
you’re going to wish you didn’t ask that
still time for the edit?
No fool like an old fool!
thankfully they gave us their language!
not even theirs – just a bastardisation of german
and Norman french
Yes, alot of it.
The Adventure of English by Melvyn Bragg is an excellent read.
Norman French? I think I know his sister Gladys.
fans and their songs don’t qualify for finals, good teams do.
Ireland football team are average on their very best day
3 on the shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
800 years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming
It’s coming home, it’s coming home, it’s coming
Is Davy Keogh still saying hello?
went down for being a paedo, sadly
Ah, it all makes sense now.
tribalism is evil
that is all
Is nostalgia really all Ireland Soccer has left t’ brag about
FFS
Make it about business on the pitch
Not about the fans
An’ the Singsong will follow
Absolutely Scarlet for the shower who made this….

Croatia was the most racist experience of my life
there with himself at the time
finger pointing, spitting, monkey noises, followed around, sureal questions about the kids,
if you aren’t white don’t leave the ” big” cities
Mostly old men. If I want to see an out lad’s lad I can look at me own..
Oh I’m for Nigeria too.
Enjoy Dubrovnik, lovely spot.
