"A riveting 0-0 draw that will be extolled by the Irish side as a "result" "If England don't win by 3 clear goals its a result for us 
We are worse than a bag of shite on a shite day  | |||

Swings and roundabouts " The players in the north were always going to play for Ireland to be fair . They just happen to be from the north. They don't choose the republic because they're way better than the north, both countries are equally bad haha. Rice was using Ireland because he probably felt he had no chance to play for England. Either way its everyone's own choice. It's better to have players that want to play than players that feel it's their only way to play international football. | |||

We used to be very good at 0-0 or 1-1 victories. We can’t even do that anymore"I thought the thread was about rugby at first, hence my 0-0 comment, ya know..pointless. I was trying to be funny and failed miserably
Didn't even know Ireland were playing England in football this week.
That's how much I keep up with sport these days | |||

"No problem rice and grealish playing for england they were born there . Where was cascarino.houghton. babb. Aldridge etc etc born . They are both great young players and best of luck to then . England 4-0" Place of birth matters not MOT. You should know Cascarino falsified his Irish lineage

I’m afraid that’s not correct- most of them played for Northern Ireland up to u21 level - and I can name at least one who played in the full NI side in a friendly international. In any case good luck to Northern Ireland tomorrow night - let’s all join together in hoping there’s one team from the island at the Euros | |||

Its not like the Republic are much better than the North. Personally I wont be supporting NI. I only support my own country and then when they're knock out or when they dont even make it I start to follow teams that have the most entertaining players. | |||

Why did the play for Northern Ireland then ? "They live there and probably weren't spotted by the FAI until they showed promise. Why would they switch in all fairness? Theres only two reasons -1. They're not good enough to play for the north and 2. They always wanted to play for the republic. I don't see any other reason because the Republic are barely any better than the North so it's not like choosing England over Ireland which would make sense if you wanted guaranteed International tournament football. | |||

The thought of switching international allegiance however is preposterous to me. "In my own opinion there should just be one team and all home games alternate between Dublin and an increased capacity Windsor. Players born in the north that feel irish are more than likely always going to opt for the republic even if they came up through the under age international system with the north. Its unfair on the north being honest but it wont stop. One island league and international team is the only way forward now for football here but itll mean alot of suits out of a job so itll take decades if ever to happen. | |||
