Can't see the IFA or the FAI being too keen.

That'll never happen because the individual FA's would have to give up their separate entries to the World Cup etc.
Saying that, I would have loved to have seen Ryan Giggs and Ian Rush playing in the World Cup finals.

In a lot of places in Ireland football if you talk about football they will assume you mean Gaelic football.

John Terry, Steven Gerrard, Wayne Rooney
OK - I know England are misfiring at the moment, but I'd fancy those three to get into any European side!
