The MLS move, if true, probably does see the end of his international career, but if he does will there's no reason why he couldn't be back in Europe at 28 and back in Ireland squads again. Judging his ability on one bad pass in an international is just ridiculous, especially if you discount everything good he did in other appearances. The hate for players and managers just because they're associated with the national league is a bit sad really.
