It’s a country with what? A 10th of the population of the UK and other major European countries? And in which football is the 3rd most popular sport.

Well England made the semis at the last World Cup. Any team that Barry Quinn can play in isn’t really going to dominate the world stage
To be fair population is never a convincing excuse unless it's in the tens or even hundreds of thousands.
Having to laud it over such a small country in which football isn’t even the most popular sport, pretty much sums the English national team up.
What sports are more popular than football there? It’s like a PL club with its resources trying to laud it over a League 2 team.
The likes to Roy Keane, Robbie Keane, Dennis Irwin, Damien Duff, Shay Given etc all played at the very top of the game
So did Paul McGrath, Liam Brady, Frank Stapleton & Mark Lawrenson.
Tell you what he can play for them if he can name anywhere in the country except Dublin
Hahaha probably the wrong choice of words but any of those would have got into an England starting 11.
Can't believe this thread has got to two pages regarding world class Irish players and no one mentioned Liam Brady.
Top of the game maybe, and even being biased with Robbie, I’d say Roy Keane only was world class.
If we're talking about true world class players, the England squad is very much lacking in that regard.
Yeah, it doesn't reflect well on him whatsoever and just stinks of arrogance.
That can't be true. I still see covcity4life around here most days.
Right....
Since Roy keane days
Surely, at least.......Owen, beckham, shearer, Ferdinand, a Cole, Rooney,
He will be playing for England next championships, no doubt!
Looks absolute quality most weeks... his pass, outside if his boot curler which carved midfield open today, and set up vardy goal up was top drawer.
And most assist last season was it ?
I’m amazed he isnt already in the squad!

No quotes from Maddison. Looks like some made up bull shit. Southgate watched him today and he got a cracking assist setting Vardy up to score.
The original point had nothing to do with comparing whether Ireland or England had more world class players.
Roy Keane & Liam Brady the only two you could say were world class for Ireland.
