Can't see the IFA or the FAI being too keen.
What next - an all UK football team?

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.

Won't happen - too many snouts in the respective national feeding troughs.

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

Why stop there - do away with the individual country teams and just have a European team...

Because none of our (UK) players would get a look in perhaps

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!

I wouldn't, when you look at their international records they are distinctly average
Hmm... We're not Brazil We're Northern Ireland wouldn't work with an all Ireland team. :shrug:
