Ireland have played at three different locations outside of Dublin in Ireland (the senior team in full internationals).

Paz-CCFC

Very famous ground! Was at the Cork City sports when I was very young and witnessed a world record there when Yuriy Sedykh set a new world record in Hammer throwing. Even got his autograph.

2nd Row Donkey

Jay Jay okocha when he was at Bolton in the championship wasn't that long ago but I'd say there are much lower than that.

Q: Which national team has had six completely different main colours for their home jersey since the 1930s?

(I can already see how that q might be misread, but I hope it'll make sense)

Al Capwned

Without thinking about it, I know Brazil changed their jerseys at least once. (After the '50 final v Uruguay) so I'm gonna guess at them.

Germany? Including East/West etc. No idea really just a stab in the dark. Or the likes of Yugoslavia?

sydthebeat

Mexico have had some funky changes to shirts over the years

Fenix

Kiwi_knock

Have a feeling it is one of the South American teams, so either Colombia or Chile.

EDIT: this isn't that good/unique a question - harry wilson (wales , l'pool), gabriel (brazil, ac milan), probably more

so which member of the argentina WC squad made their senior international debut before their senior club debut? (hopefully he's the only one :pac: )
