So Ireland lost. To France. How embarassing.

However, there is a silver lining. For the North won. Against a full strength English team. Lets see… that’s talent valued at about?200,000,000 playing a bunch of Championship and League 2 players… and getting beaten. And well beaten too.

Oh, by the way, England are currently 7th in the FIFA World Rankings. Northern Ireland are 116th. Just for information.
