International Friendly Post Match?

Weird friendly. The World Cup is some load of bollox if Ireland goes out and beats these and Canada next week. Slight forgiving nature in me for the performance. But.......BUT these lads were poor. How are we not hammering them? Cut them open twice in the first ten minutes.

I agree. USA gets away with an unimaginable amount of horrible shit. I'd argue that Israel is so obviously over the line that it is the place we should start. The line doesn't need to be perfectly defined and agreed when it is this clear. We should take a stand and take whatever punishment is applied. We'll live.

If you feel so strongly about USA then you could start a boycott campaign of them too? But it doesn't help to use USA as an excuse to normalise relations with Israel. Russia is the good example of this hypocrisy. They invaded Ukraine and were banned by Fifa/Uefa/Olympics literally the next day.

Im not calling for a boycott campaign of either of them, my point was that why do people that feel so strongly about boycotting the Israel game not have the same feelings towards the USA.

If genocide is across the line, enabling the genocide must also be across the line.

Russia is a perfect example of the hypocrisy by Fifa/Uefa and boycotting all international games would be a stronger message sent to Fifa/Uefa than Ireland boycotting two games against Israel. Do we think that will result in any action by Fifa/Uefa against Israel?

No idea why your being down voted on comments, you're 100% correct the US have caused carnage in that part of the world for years now , where ever they have got involved they've caused chaos, and by the way still the only country to nuke a civilian population, the good old USA .

I have no idea either. I understand people taking a moral stand but morals should be consistent
