I imagine they thought a more exact outline of the facts would take away from the attempted hilarity of pointing out how similar the two countries are.

I note Brazil-born Éder qualifies to play for Italy on account of an Italian great-grandfather: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89...an_footballer)

Ah, that is a possibility, yes.
Like after all big Ireland results, there are a few happy boys on twitter tonight.

Such an interesting position to be supporting of two sides. Fair play. I don't really have any motivation to support Northern Ireland but fair play, it's a nice story. Same way I'd see Wales as a nice story.
It's clearly an age and generational thing.
Never until possibly hell freezing over would I wish the IFA team well. Ever.

Well done all, you bossed that from start to end.
I think it's more random and unpredictable than that. Not least as most fans aren't as hardcore as those of us on message boards- they just get involved for a big match or tournament.
I imagine you'd want NI to win or draw if it helped you to progress in a tournament.
Naturally. But until that day comes... It'll still be a begrudging misery of a thing to want.

Little snippet beside Brian Kerr's article in the Indo today. He stated that Michael McGovern, the NI goalkeeping hero from Enniskillen, was called up to one of his underage squads and that he "seemed interested in declaring for us" but Kerr had a think about it and realised that there were too many goalkeepers ahead of McGovern in the queue for the senior side (he names Kiely, Given, Wayne Henderson and Brian and Joe Murphy). So, Kerr told him plump for the NI team to have a better chance at international football.
As an aside, I met a couple of lads from Tyrone on my travels in France last week. One was Niall McGinn's best mate. Needless to mention they weren't there supporting NI.
Neither was McGinn.

I miss this thread and that article in the Derry Sentinel about McEneff has ruffled my feathers.

It's going to the wire with Kosovo before their first game on monday.
Kosovo still awaiting Fifa clearance for six players
There was snotty condescending response from the Swiss federation
"The SFV regrets the priority of the Kosovar directors has been in trying to recruit players for the next World Cup qualifiers instead of consolidating the foundations of their federation,"

The passive-aggressiveness from the Swiss reminds me of someone.
They're talking about All Ireland XIs on Off The Ball. And some of the silliness is brain frying. They were talking about how we "took players" from the IFA.
I tweeted them and obviously mentioned Danny's blog.
Apparently there's chat this week about a reunified team. I missed that? Anyone?

Sinn Fein were on about it again. Citing how much better we are in rugby what with that being so internationally competitive and all.
Who are?

Think he means the football show on newstalk tonight. It was an awful segment in fairness so bad I switched over to five live for the Utd commentary to keep me going on my run(?jog) it's cold out there tonight kids.
Cheer Liam.

We can beat New Zealand on our own, with our eyes closed.
I listened in to the that newstalk segment and it was a bit off the wall There was some journalist (Dunne ? or was he in the program after?) picking his AI team along with Killer who doesn't know much about anything before 1990.
I'll give the Nordies George Best but he'd have had to sober up to play with us in a best ever 11, we had enough drunks already.
