Its really an undeniable fact that boycotts lose almost all of their effectiveness when you go alone. This obviously makes it a very tricky situation for the FAI.

Its not really a surprise that other pro Palestine nations in Europe like Norway and Iceland have played their fixtures with Israel in recent times rather than boycotting. Failed boycotts tend to only benefit whoever is being boycotted.

It takes one to start a boycott. I truly believe if Ireland boycotts these games, then more will follow.

Not in the Nations League they won't.
