Plus there were boycotts and offence taken at invitations and such chicanery. And then winners and hosts not having to qualify on occasion.
Iām confident tonight. 4-0 to Ireland. Great team too.
Correct. Didnāt the USSR refuse to go to Chile in 1962 in protest at some US-backed coup, or something?

Kenny Cunningham talking a lot of sense here.
Uruguay didnāt defend their title in 1934 cos they were in a huff that so few European teams went to their one in 1930
I hope Alan Browne really expresses himself tonight
As @Elvis_Brandenberg_Kr has said lots of present day nations didnāt exist back in the 1930ās. Iād presume as well that there was only a handful that competed in the qualifying stages for the inaugural World Cup in 1930 in Uruguay as a lot of the places for the finals proper were allocated by invitation.
nil all iād say - they arenāt as bad as they used to be and weāre shit
Ferrycarrig Park is in Wexford George.
Weāll just about get a win. Weāll bundle one in.
I think we will earn whatever we get. I hope Kenny gets a comfortable win to take a bit of pressure off
Iām happy he dropped Travers and excited to see Bazunu but really he should have gone with OāHara.
isnāt that a desperate way to be thinking about a match against Luxembourg. I agree with you
I think weāre all feeling that pressure.
The Martins brothers are not related
I donāt think Knight is a holding midfielder. Should be further forward
Whose doing co-commentary there?
