    Yes
    Then why would it be frowned upon if an Irishman supported England or Brazil? Yet he can support any club he likes.

    Picking the country you support! Hah, Ive heard it all now.

    How the hell does that work? I sort of envy people who are as shallow as that. Id love to don me yellow shirt and blue speedos and head off to Rio to support the selecao! Maybe Id learn abit of portuguese!

    What would happen if Ireland met them in the world cup though? :rolleyes:

    By the same token, would that mean that if in say 20 years the premiership was no longer the glamour league in Europe and all the top players were playing in Serie A again, you would quit supporting an english league club because they were full of average players playing a kick and run game of football? Is that as far as your support goes?

    the premier has been the "glamour league" in europe as you put it for what, 7 or 8 years max? before that it was viewed as somewhere for oul lads to go near the end of their career for a quick buck

    youre putting words in my mouth by saying i support an english team coz theyre good? i support villa, who play woeful football at the minute. im also a drogheda united season ticket holder and supporter of the league of ireland.

    average footballers have nothing to do with whether i like a team, league or flavour of the game

    i dislike international football because i much prefer the week in week out format of league competitions. international football is too stop/start, and theres no opportunity for any real cohesion through familiarity amongst a lot of the squads. the mentality seems to be "dont lose" rather than "win" for an awful lot of teams. i could go on

    there are many many reasons why i dont like international football, none of them have anything to do with the quality of players. i have no interest in watching brazil play argentina, for example. thats got nothing to do with ireland. the quality of the irish side have NOTHING to do with me thinking the international game is dreadful
