Why Ireland Is Producing So Much Talent! | Explained
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ก.ย. 2024
- In our latest Euro Football Daily Explained we are profiling the next generation of Irish talent looking to put the Republic or Ireland national football team back on the map. From Brighton’s Evan Ferguson to Wolves centre-half Nathan Collins, the Boys in Green finally have an exciting crop of youngsters coming through after a difficult few years.
But how has Ireland managed to unearth a new golden generation? We break down how young stars have taken advantage of the football education available in England to maximise their potential, plus look at how migration is fuelling a growth in quality. We also look at what Brexit means for the future of Irish football, before finishing with a deep dive into what the League of Ireland and Football Association of Ireland need to do to ensure football continues to thrive on the emerald isle.

John Delaney wasn't partly to blame, he was 100% to blame 😳
Irish fans are also partly to blame. No Scottish fan pumps €1000s of euro into English football. Majority of Irish football fans do. Ireland will never be that good until their clubs are better funded.
@@Orielparadise most counties don't have a football team in Ireland plus the standard and quality of football is far far far keep ok going for like 1 million more fars far superior to Irish club football in every way so yeah obviously people will care about those clubs more plus espicaly with clubs like Liverpool there's alot of Irish history and connection with this club and Irish people living in Liverpool
Bill Molloy:
Stop scapegoating!
Delaney was NOT a coach.
Irish football failure is due to negative longball tactics and slow play at underage level, plus at senior level all the Republic born coaches have NEVER qualified Ireland for a major finals.
The coaches at underage level are too AFRAID to play positive high press attacking football.
Delaney has NOTHING to do with the coaching side.
Delaney is to blame for Paying Trap and his coaching team 8 million a year and running up a huge debt that the FAI could not afford so the Government had to bail out the FAI
Delaney plus the Treasurer's and the FAI presidents from 2008 to 2019 are to blame for a terrible financial mismanagement . They spent 60 million on Trap , Stan and Mccarthy which is the chief reason for running up the crippling debt.
However when it comes to coaching the failures ly entirely with bad coaching and tactics at senior and under 21 level.
I blame Delaney and the FAI Presidents for the FINANCIAL MESS FAI got themselves into , However I blame the coaches for the FOOTBALLING failure to Qualify for a World Cup since 2002 and also Ireland's failure to qualify for a European Under 21 finals tournament.
@@josephfinnegan151 and Delaney employed those coaches so for me he is 100% to blame for the state of Irish football 🤷
@@billmolloy4053
Delaney is to blame along with the FAI presidents for the FINANCIAL MISMANAGEMENT
It is the Coaches who are to blame for the FOOTBALLING FAILURE. Delaney is NOT a coach or a tactician. The coaches must carry the can for the poor results since 2002.
We've Suffered for so long hopefully there's now light at the end of the Tunnel 🇮🇪⚽️
Think there is but after this euro qualifiers
Not with those socks we got with the new kit 🤣☘️
I dont see it tbh france will destroy us
@@Foreverfooty7 😬Netherlands and France
@@gabeawesome2113 that's why I say after this euro qualifiers
Being Scottish I obviously love the Scotland national team, but being a Celtic fan I have a soft spot for the Republic of Ireland national team! It would be great to see both teams qualify for Euro 24!
You have a chance much easier group
France and Netherlands in our group. We have about two hopes of reaching Euro 2024.
United the clans!!!

The league of Ireland attendances have grown exponentially and the only thing holding clubs back is lack of capacity with most matches being sold out on a weekly basis.
you're dreaming. LOL when was the last time you couldn't get into a match because it was sold out. Never.
@@TheLiffeyman Bohs, Pats, Derry, Drogs, Dundalk and rovers are selling their stadium out every week.
@@TheLiffeyman but hey don’t let facts get in the way of your narrative!
@@TheLiffeyman quite a lot of games people have struggled for tickets actually. This season every we has about 2 or 3 games selling out a few days before the game takes place. Even in the first division Kerry FC have sold out every game so far including their game this Friday which sold out 2 days ago.
@@TheLiffeyman jog back to your couch pal👍
You left out a very important factor. Nearly all of the league of Ireland clubs have fantastic under age structures and academies. Most of the players you have mentioned have come through the LOI. The league is going through an amazing renaissance with packed stadia around the country every week. Teams are beginning to show in European football.
If your League of Ireland clubs are producing such young talent, then why is the FAI coming North of the border to poach their young players?
@@georgesmyth2250 I am only seeing what is in front of me. A lot of the young players that are in the present set up came through the clubs here in the south. Yours is another argument. My attitude is that I agree with you. They should not poach players from the North. Unfortunately for the north, Nationalist players declare for the south of their own volition. Just like the amount of Northern Irish towns seem to wave their flags at ROI matches. I cannot tell them not to. I wish the north was out in the North Atlantic near Iceland, but that is just me.
.
One more thing I forgot to say George. The olayers from the LOI playing now for Ireland are no world beaters it was just that in the past virtually no players from LOI would make the International team.
Now if only most counties in Ireland Ireland had a football team in the LOI
There should be only 1 Irish team just like in the rugby🍀imagine how good we could be if we joined up
I am eager to see how Bazunu's career pans out. I have high hopes for him.
Man needs to leave Southampton
He's bang avarage
@@heyah1447 hope he does deserves premier league football
@@BigDeyum no hes more than that hes been amazing for us in the past
@@heyah1447he’s not even prem quality ? If we had a better keeper we wouldn’t be bottom
Cathal Heffernan at AC Milan is another Irish talent also that has big potential
finally there's a real life player called Cathal. Youth players on fifa career mode are always called Cathal and I thought it was a made up name
@@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere very common name here
@@liamrab6 how do you pronounce it? Cat-.al? Or is it as fantabulous as Caomin being "Khay-van"?
@@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere Caw - hill
@@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere A Cathal here 👋 it's a real name lol
Smallbone is one of my favorite irish players, he brings a lot to the team
We’re still a few years away from having a good team. The wingbacks and forwards apart from Evan Ferguson are generally nowhere near good enough but in underage teams there’s some brilliant young players and the young goalkeepers, defenders and midfielders are very good and already starting for us when most are younger than 22 which is a very good thing
Obafemi was are best player in the nations league and parrott blew hot and cold but when he was hot he was very good
@@od9694 they’re still not up to the standard in international football. Obafemi maybe but Parrott definitely not yet
True
@@barry4649Ireland flag in his name but supports a unionist team…
@@dazzathakilla6364 you’re as much of a weirdo as those unionists
Bohemians have a 15% sell on clause in Evans contract and are in for one hell of a pay day that'll transform their club forever if he is sold for a fortune
or they'll just piss it away on non-footballing 'expenses' like usually happens with LOI clubs
We have so many wonderful atheletes, but there's such a huge cultural push for young people to get into gaelic sports and rugby, most of our athletes have probably opted for gaelic football and hurling over football.
And thank god for that
Very Very good video Henry. This is what I call new, interesting and useful content!
Evan Ferguson could honestly be a top striker in the future.
We need him to be he is a better striker than kane was at 18 and before people say hell never be as good as kane if you were Irish youd understand why im thinking like that because we absolutely need a world class striker to carry us through these next few years
@@Foreverfooty7 tbf he's a lot better than Kane at 18 ,It's very promising.
@@irishnewblood I really hope so if he goes on to be better than kane we might actually have a chance at not only qualifying for some tournaments but going further than the first round especially considering weve other promising players like gavin bazunu who I think could eventually be a world class keeper at his peak
@Thomas Kane or Keane? I only ask because no-one's touching Robbie Keane at 17, never mind 18!
@@Wainy16 pretty sure he's talking about Harry Kane, who looked pretty average at the age Ferguson is now
The Delaney era has finally ended these lads have the potential to be competitive again praise God
Delaney is gone but some of his mates are still in there.
HITC Sevens video on this was miles better.
id love to just see us in the euros again tbh
Would too but it ain't going to happen not this one think we can get the next world cup though
Same we've not asking for much
Well let's not be putting the mockers on it
It's worth noting that despite the men's disappointing results, this country still had a good reputation, especially after the women's side had qualified for the upcoming World Cup in Australia and New Zealand following a historic playoff win over Scotland. The women team are now even the same level as the men's one in the past.
Even with Gaelic sports and rugby being super popular in Ireland, football is still huge in Ireland. The big thing holding us back is that the domestic league and its infrastructure are absolutely woeful when you compare it to the big European leagues. It's unfortunate that we have the Premier League on our doorstep - it makes it almost impossible for the League of Ireland to attract much of the public's interest.
Nice video this, some of our clubs here have state of the art training facilities however, Waterford FC said to rival English Premier league clubs in that regard, but a tiny stadium.
Interestingly enough post Covid has seen a sharp increase in attendances across the league structure whereas the opposite is true for both the Rugby and Gaelic sports, a massive drop infact.
If that was true, why are all the players still coming to England? English academies invest more time in developing Irish players than Ireland does.
@@herv7539 they're not. As it says in the video no players can move out of the EU to the UK before they turn 18. We now have underage League Of Ireland competitions at U14, U15, U17 and U19 with involvement from the senior LOI teams and a few other regional teams. This was probably the only good thing to happen under Delaney's watch and it has led to a massive opportunity for Irish soccer as players are now getting top-level coaching while remaining in school and living at home. There are plans in place at my club, Galway United, to develop a training academy base which we're told will have better facilities than Arsenal's academy. The investors clearly see the potential in developing players here while younger so they will be more valuable if they do move on.
If you look at league attendances in the League of Ireland in 2022 and 2023, they have increased drastically compared to 2018 and 19. The standard of stadia has to be considered, most clubs have plans to develop new stadiums but it will be years before theyr'e ready. Shamrock Rovers have the biggest stadium with around 12,000 but Derry City (who won the cup and took 20,000 to Dublin for the final) have a stadium with a capacity of about 4,000. If there was more money and improved facilities, we'd see Irish teams qualifying for European group stages almost every year imo.
Aaron Connolly at Hull is doing very well also and seems to have his career back on track
There are two more players to mention in Connor Noß and Anselmo Garcia McNulty who are under age Irish internationals but could still play for Germany or Spain at full international level
Nathan Collins beats Robbie Keane by 300,000€ on the record fee, however I believe with inflation and how the market has changed, that 24 million euro paid for Keane in 2008, would be about 30 million maybe more. League of Ireland is on the rise stadiums are filling up 4-8,000 per game while 2-3k would have been considered a big crowd before. The 2021 Cup final attracted 39,000 spectators 👏🏼
The way transfer fees have gone it would be more like 60 mill I reckon. Robbie Keane was a class act. Collins is struggling for game time at wolves.
It would be great if the Irish League adopts the moneyball/stats approach and gets it on par with something like League 1. Over time it might further aid the national team too.
Why do you guys literally always steal your content from HITC?? it's really noticeable,just to let you know.
What your trip across the Irish Sea has missed is a that a lot of teenagers are now going into the Italian academies post-Brexit. Could reap even more rewards yet.
I think this is a good piece but it only scratches the surface of the problems. I don't have any official figures at hand but I severely doubt that soccer/football is actually more played than GAA is over here. A lot of the time, kids are encouraged to choose one sport and stick to it, especially when they go through their teenage years. Combine this with the community culture and media of profile of GAA and I think football will always be facing an uphill battle. The LOI attendance figures have been slowly increasing over the last couple of years but the coverage of it still pales in comparison to GAA and rugby.
So much to talk about and not enough time to say it in! HITC 7's do a greater selection of videos in more depth if you want to watch more
Yeah I wonder about this stat too.
Plenty of kids kicking a ball in the playground and a bit of 5 a side but as for organised soccer I can’t imagine how football could have more participants when every parish up and down the country has a GAA club with seniors and juniors and many also with women’s teams.
I would love to see the stats on consumption though, I’d say Irish people spend a lot on TV subs and travelling to see Prem teams or Celtic.
Soccer may actually be more popular overall but it’s no good having a nation of armchair football fans who never kick a ball.
They’ve grown quite quickly in last 3 years but as you say media coverage and government funding pales in comparison to GAA and even Rugby which isn’t even played widely in Ireland. GAA has more register players currently but Soccer has more including Northern Ireland but also more in the ROI in terms of casual participation.
HOPING TO SEE A LOT MORE HOMEGROWN YOUNG IRISH LADS.....
John Delaney is NOT to blame for Irish football, Delaney was an administrator, the coaches and clubs are to blame for selling their top players overseass for a pittance. Clubs from Nordic nations always get millions when they sell there best players abroad
However when irish clubs sell their best players overseas they get only a few thousand.
Irish clubs are viewed as a soft touch when it comes to selling their best players.
I'd love to see Jay O'Shay make the Irish squad. He'd definitely help the young Irishmen prosper. Best of luck Ireland.
😂
Alot of the Irish people need to wake up and support the league of Ireland how can a league grow if the locals don't support it
Great summary
The single biggest problem for Football/Soccer in the Republic remains unchanged - there are multiple different organizations who run the game in various geographical areas and essentially they operate independently of each other. None of them seem willing to amalgamate into just one controlling body. We have had a farcical situation with the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) for decades now, and this is the organization charged with running the National Teams. Basically it was historically run as a private club for the benefit of the top administrators and not the game itself. This body squandered the opportunities that came about through the achievements of the Jack Charlton & Mick McCarthy eras when the ROI was ranked in the top 30 teams in the world.
You made no mention of the fact that unlike most of the world, football is a minority sport in Ireland . This important fact must always be borne in mind when discussing Irish football. Looking for scapegoats to blame is all very well, but we can never get away from this fact.
@@davidpryle3935 not sure you can say a minority sport when it has the most participation of any sport. The GAA is also huge and attracts a lot of media attention (e.g. club games shown on RTÉ...I doubt they'd dream of showing the Connacht Cup semi-final between Castlebar Celtic and Athenry FC on Sunday).
@@KevinBrett Yeah, that number participating is misleading. At least half the number, probably more, are not serious about the sport, and are really just casual “pub League” type players. There are also a large number of gaa players who use football to keep fit in the gaa off season. I know several people who play in over 40s teams. Don’t get me wrong, this is all good, but it puts a different slant on the numbers participating. If you want to see the real strength of football in Ireland, just go and check out the league of Ireland. It appears to be on the up recently, but if it wasn’t for the sheer dedication of the officials and supporters of clubs like Sligo rovers, Finn Harps etc. who against all the odds have kept professional football going in Ireland over the years, firefighting from week to week, there wouldn’t be a football league at all. This tired old trope of blaming the FAI is wearing a bit thin now. What Irish football requires is much bigger support from the Irish people, so the clubs can get some money to improve their stadiums, training etc. But this may not be possible, because as I said, football is a minority sport in Ireland. Looking for scapegoats to blame is always the easiest, but at the end of the day, it’s down to the choices of the Irish people themselves.
@@davidpryle3935 I've "checked out the LOI" alright season ticket holder for decades, GUFC Co-op member etc. I also coach underage at my local club and our pre COVID numbers doubled at the age group I coach post covid. The majority have kept it up. Similar across most age groups. In a GAA stronghold we probably have as many players as them. Each area is different. Some areas will have stronger GAA tradition and others stronger in soccer.
@@KevinBrett Sorry Kevin, when I said “check out the league of Ireland”, I was talking generally. I didn’t mean you personally. Bad use of language from me, apologies again.
Tom cannon is playing with the Irish U21 and is on loan atm he could be a good striker for Everton next season when he comes back
Will never forget the 1990 World Cup and the save by Packie Bonnar!?! Managed to get to the quarterfinals of the first World Cup we’ve ever qualified for!?! And we could have actually gone all the way!?!
League of Ireland is the fastest growing league in Europe per capita. Grounds are now selling out regularly. Obviously not incredible but very encouraging.
If only there were some decent stadiums...
@@EurovisionESC Agreed. The only way ahead is municipal stadiums like Tallaght Stadium. League of Ireland clubs simply don’t have the money to build their own modern stadiums. Any club who tried it went bankrupt.
@@davidpryle3935 i dont get why clubs should build their own stadiums though. It's completely normal in other parts of EU that the council to own the stadium. Like... Tallaght should be an example. We cannot compare to England every time. That's not a right model for LOI. Just build new, modern grounds and the league will grow.
@@EurovisionESC I agree 100%. But it all comes back to Irish football’s unique disadvantage, that many Irish people prefer sports that no other country plays. There’s too many field games competing for limited resources. For example Louth County Council wanted to build a municipal stadium in Dundalk, but the GAA wanted their own stadium, so that was the end of that.
Stadiums are irrelevant, you need good academies otherwise they come to England. If it wasn’t for English academies, none of these players would be talents.
I’ve heard that “participation” stat before, about soccer being the most played sport in Ireland, but in all honesty I find it difficult to believe. Every single town / village / parish across Ireland has either a football or a hurling team - often both - with teams for every level and both boys and girls.
That’s certainly not the case for soccer. One thing I will say for soccer in this regard is that it’s definitely played more for fun / recreation over the likes of football. Even at a junior club level, football and hurling is taken far too seriously, a lot of fun is taken out of it compared to how lighthearted soccer is in Ireland.
It’s ironic that if you join a Gaelic club in a foreign city, the folks there play Gaelic games just for the fun of it more than they would in Ireland.
Even in a strong GAA county like Galway there are at least 40 clubs. Lots of rural areas would have a team that might cover more than one village, much like the parishes that come together in GAA
League of Ireland is definitely on the rise, especially at my local Galway United, up G-Town
you’re wrong about the brexit point, ireland and the uk have a special agreement that has nothing to do with the eu called the common travel area
Rugby team is full of talent as well
I think a lot of it has to do with the changes in the Premier League since 2004, a change that has had a huge knock-on effect. In short, it has eventually led to every team becoming a rich team that can - and do - recruit young South Americans / Europeans, as against young Irish guys. Of course, the shambles at the FAI over the years played a role too.
That said, I think that Stephen Kenny did start the wheels moving towards a long over-due change, and I think that, at this point, the public are more "patient and willing to wait" in order to get better results in the long term than they were, say, 5 years ago.
Now, it is true that he did not get the results - partly due to his stubborn nature and refusal to alter his tactics / game plan when necessary. In addition, he did not keep a good balance of young players and veterans, and finally, he was NOT comfortable in dealing with the media, something that did help either. But his main achievement, I think, is that he eliminated the "bottle-neck from U-21 to senior level," bringing new blood into the senior team, and that bodes well for the long term.
I honestly believe that should John O'Shea get the job he CAN turn things around - probably gradually - at which point history will look more favorably on Stephen Kenny's tenure. Just my humble opinion, have a good night and COYEBIG!!!😁💚🤍🧡!☘⚽
We always seem to have really promising youngsters who inevitably drop down the leagues and we just constantly have a team of league 1 players. Brady, mcclean, Parrott etc. Just hope ferguson fulfills his potential
Agree , lots of early potential, then nothing.
But Ferguson is the exception, he's definitely world class , not just his striking ability, in fact that's only part of his ability.
And Smallbone ( not sure of spelling) is at least premiership class.
I bet the Irish guy is gassed for this next generation
he already made a video about it
Yeah just to not qualify for the next 5 tournaments 😂
Luke McNally another super player on loan at Coventry from Burnley, future is bright for players like this
We have suffered since 2002 ,Think is all thanks to the parents and coaches in Ireland .Football facilities here are 3rd World .
Irish Football has to be taken out of Irish hands from top to bottom and a professional foreign Troika brought in for at least 10 years to improve matters 100%.
John Delaney salary is going into developing teenagers to a higher standard so at 18 or so, they can get the move across to a better club in England. We are going to see a new crop of talent come through.
collins and andrew morant are class and underrated
Brexit has hurt so many so differently, I don’t understand why the UK voted for such a disastrous move
Brevity came about because the UK did NOT want the EU making laws and telling the British how to run their nation .
What a video 🇮🇪🤝
The guy featured at 4:42 was in my class in secondary school.
My Irish brothers & sisters hold your horses don’t hype these lads up your only adding pressure on their shoulders let’s not do what England does to their players
Keep an eye out for zeffi if he doesn’t betray us for Italy
Hell is too cold for John Delaney
You better take back all the Irish players that come to England to develop then. If it wasn’t for English academies, none of these players would exist.
@@herv7539 ur salty cuz I pointed out the mistakes English ppl make with their players
@@herv7539 rubbish, most of the players mentioned here were developed at league of Ireland clubs
Albania will look to turn his head.
One senior team per county . If IFA get on board , 32 teams . First season 32 teams play each other , top 16 teams go Premier Division with a similar set up as Scotland . Dublin maybe 2 senior teams if IFA say no , then there`d be 28 teams in first season with a 14 split , with 3 games against each other 2nd season. GAA have it right, follow their lead.
One day I will play for ireland
Massive overhaul of league of Ireland facilities needed obviously. When someone is watching it on tv, the product needs to look good. Electronic hoarding along the side of the pitch with modern well floodlighted stadiums would do wonders. Also the new logo isn’t great, a name change and a more minimalist logo style is needed. A new tv deal or streaming deal to sell globally is also required, it would bring in more income.
Never qualified for three in a row; Euro '88, World Cup '90, and World Cup '94, but we missed 1992.
Huge talent coming through now.
No 😂
FAI cup final attracted 32000 fans... comparing that to the 82300 fans that attended the GAA All-Ireland 2022 final, its easy to see why soccer in Ireland will always be subpar compared to similarly sized countries. Communities are built round the GAA in Ireland and soccer just can't compete
🎵he never cheats he never lies John Delaney is a lovely guy 🎵
Fergusons dad did NOT play for Coventry. He wasn't good enough
Irish Rugby looking fucking good too, reckon they'll win the world cup this year. Most likely a Irish vs France final
an Ireland vs France final is impossible.They are on the same side of the draw and so would meet before the final. Their also both on the same side as South Africa, New Zealand, Scotland and Italy so only one of those teams will reach the final.
@@SF-rw1oz Ireland vs Wallabies final then
@@swag1336 I hope you're right, my bet would be France or The Boks vs Australia unfortunately
I would be very happy to be proven wrong about that though
I see plenty of potential in Irish football. Its progress was entirely halted by John Delaney's reign of corruption but now they have young players coming through as the country's population is steadily increasing.
John Delaney has set back Irish football a generation in terms of progress
Ireland is bang average at best
@@dutchvanderlinde8034 Like Netherlands then.
@@DidYaServe Netherlands > Ireland
@@dutchvanderlinde8034 If you're living in the past. France absolutely humiliated you whilst Deschamps admitted they were lucky to win against us.
We have good goalkeepers. Some decent defenders and Ferguson finally genuinely looks like he has great potential although so did Troy Parrot. But I think Ferguson will be different. Midfield is pretty barren so hopefully some these guys do come through and make us competitive again and not virtually unwatchable struggling to string two passes together against the like of Luxembourg. We should be better than that.
John delaney not really controversial anymore now he is universally hated
Fingers crossed for us 🇮🇪
How many of our talent pool actually play in the Premier League, we have been competing for qualification in recent years but now we are easily brushed aside. Huge gap between us and teams who are below the elite.
Serbia ect
how are you 10 days behind HITC Sevens? This isn't the first time is it?
Maybe a few of the rugby lads could learn to kick a round ball?
Can't see why Brexit would impact on the Irish presence in premier league as all citizens have complete free movement
In fairness to our league of Ireland teams there coaching has really improved and they've got good academies now, And I'm going to mention the elephant in the room migration has helped.. There not leaving at 15 and 16 anymore like old days, And we fell behind when that gangster Delaney was head of FAI no money into youth game most money made went into his pocket.. As soon as we get a promising group of players we get the worst qualifying group of all with France and Holland 😢
Bazunu might be going the jack butland route , he needs to find a better club asap , relegation is not good for the cv
Stephen Kenny is a god awful manager as soon as he's gone ill believe we are turning things around
You're spot on, he is atrocious and the way he is defended is ridiculous, he will do nothing but have us as 5th or 6th seeds by the time he's done.
@@irishnewblood he will be back managing in the league of Ireland after too, nowhere near international standard
I actually misread this title and thought it said NOT. And was shocked when I reread. The only decent talent Ireland have is Ferguson Collins and maybe O’Shea. The rest are mostly distinctly very below average.
April Fools? Nah we’re still in March. Scotland seems to be producing more imo or at worst the same.
Then where are the videos online discussing Scotland's future then?
Exactly
@@cathalsheehan9596 Ireland is shit
Factcheck: Irish players don't face any restrictions accessing the uk. Ireland and the UK are in the common travel area so Brexit doesn't affect Ireland.
Players cannot move to the UK until they turn 18. They used to go at 15 and younger and stay in digs, be homesick and be cast aside if they didn't make it. A lot of potential returned from England and didn't bother playing again as they became disillusioned with the game. That'll happen less with players moving over when they're a bit more mature, and there'll be a clearer picture of potential in a more developed player. LOI academy's are reaping the benefits as the top talent is more likely to stay around. A lot of young players are now getting LOI experience before they turn 18 which will also increase their sale value if they do decide to move abroad.
Ireland : Produce a great talent*
England : *Prepare for "stealing" them using parents-grandparents rule*
Hopefully Ireland blocks England from stealing their players
We've been doing it to England for yrs 😂
This video was clearly inspired by hitcsevens you could of at least given him a shoutout
efd definitely watches hitc sevens
I hate to be pedantic but Charlton’s team never qualified for three major tournaments in a row.
make one about ecuador!
Why is Ireland producing so much talent? Answer = it's not, I have no idea where this video came from but it's funny af
300 000 iregistered players is pie in the sky.Nobody cares about local soccer in ireland but the whole village will turn out for the local GAA,so unless players manage to play LOI or play professionally elsewhere they stop playing.the womens market is also cornered by ladies gaelic football and camogie.
It's the money the big euro clubs can gut us because they are billion quid franchises I mean for of team can she'll out 10 million for that they could easily buy 2 or three league of Ireland teams. League of Ireland just can't afford to keep their players.
The future is bright

Who said Ireland doesn't have top talent? They have, those talents just feel it's better to sit on England's bench than play for Ireland. Just ask Grealish and Rice if you doubt
Ireland did train them up but they were never really Irish
@@barry4649 *They trained with Ireland
@@samplant92 yeh they were produced by English accademes both born in England too
@@samplant92 Ireland trained the two of them and gave them international experience for about 5 years each. If you think that playing underage international football didn’t help them at all your just being silly
@@barry4649 national team is about Irish by birth and at least formative years not some import who couldn't get in the English squad for a time
We just let 2 goals in at home against Latvia. Were shit
We aren't producing enough
We are good, but we need to focus on loi
There is less British-born talent for the ROI. Migration was huge in the 50s and 60s, but not much anymore.
They are all B and C list players coming through, don't see what the fuss is about?
12 seconds in and already got a fact wrong
I see a lot of English future stars here
No
I want them to choose Ireland
I want Ireland to succeed
Talent? Get real. They'll be lucky to keep France to 10 Monday
But we are shocking last few years not many the young guys doing well now and are young guns now mostly injured edah parott etc but they young ones now are the likes off are goalkeepers collins fergusson moron both at brighton other young guns now we have have lot to learn
Uruguay produces more talent + Croatia also
For the population size of those countries they massively over perform. A shout out to Portugal and the Faroe Islands too.
Exactly but nobody is talking about cause they're not "Western European". That just shows how racist Western Europe really is towards the other regions of the world
@@dutchvanderlinde8034 But you're Dutch.

Uruguay and Croatia are both USELESS at Rugby and they don't play Hurling or Gaelic, so they have no competition from other sports !!
@@josephfinnegan151 Yes sir. Gaelic does take away top talent football potential. If we're talking about countries that succeed at pretty much every sport there is Australia which is good or decent at just about everything and it has a relatively small population.
Are you having a laugh what talent 😂
Exactly. These cunts have no clue. One good player (Evan Ferguson) doesn't equal a "golden generation" 😂
I am bored senseless of this strategy of trying to take players off England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Let's be honest, we're going no-where.
Ya keep telling yourself that, the whole world is wrong and you are right, well done 🤡
