UEFA gave a peace prize award to Trump. Ireland could have sat this out and de facto allowed Israel to get to the next stage. Instead, they stepped up and showed them just how piss-poor they are despite their self- conferred beliefs in their own abilities. Fuck apartheid.

    I don't know how the rules work exactly, but Kazakhstan used to be in AFC, now they're in UEFA, Australia used to be in OFC, now they're in AFC, so it's possible to choose where you want to play at least to an extent. The thing about European heritage is also true.
