Wouldn't it be Great if Ireland Won the World Cup?

Wouldn't it be Great if Ireland Won the World Cup?
I mean, it is unlikely. But think how happy everyone would be if they did. Everyone loves Ireland. Think if they won the World Cup. Think about how happy everyone would be. Especially if they beat England in the final. Think how happy everyone would be.
Think if they won the World Cup.
Beat Brazil in the semi-final with a goal scored by some guy who plays for Crusaders, and then went on to destroy England with a hat-trick of goals from a guy who used to play for Distillery.
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!.........Irelandio!
Clement Atlee, Winston Churchill, Maggie Thatcher. Are you watching? Because your boys took a hell of a beating tonight!
Not likely to happen though.
The problem is this. And I don't want to blind you with football jargon here, but even when we had Geordie Best, what we lacked was "strength in depth".
There was not enough "pin-point-passing" in the middle third of the "park". Not enough movement "off the ball". Nay, not enough "incisive attacking into the penalty area". Not nearly enough kicking someone in the balls and then saying,"Come on ref, I never f***ing touched him!"
