Football is huge in Ireland, Jamaica and San Marino.
They just have very small populations. The population of England is about 14 times that of Ireland, so do you
think England's team is 14 times better than Ireland's?
It'll be closer than you think (unless paul mcshane starts). I desperately hope Ireland get something tonight mainly because I'm Irish but also to prove you wrong.
Non footballing countries indeed.
I agree to some extent, but population has little or nothing to do with it. The US and Russia are huge but win F*ck all. China's huge and wins F*ck all. Uraguay, England, and Spain aren't really that big, but they have won a lot more. Even Croatia (which is tiny) does better than Ireland.
