@MisterCommodity You don’t have promotion or relegation. Thats what makes your sports teams more “valuable”.

[MoJo @gam38950]

@BantamSilver The IFA existed in 1880 and they are the governing body for Northern Irish football. What Stan states is correct.

[MoJo @gam38950]

@DaveTheWiserTim @brencelt Quite simple really. The IFA, formed in 1880, is the governing body of football in Northern Ireland. Hence the IFA is the 4th oldest association in the world.

[MoJo @gam38950]

@StanCollymore So many here have no clue about the history of the Irish Football Association. It’s why Northern Ireland still have a vote in IFAB, along with England, Scotland and Wales. They can collectively veto any law changes that FIFA put forward

[MoJo @gam38950]

@sambosravioli @StanCollymore Correct but the IFA has always been based in Belfast and now governs Northern Irish Football

[MoJo @gam38950]

@amf99a Wrong. The Irish Football association has always been based in Belfast. It now governs football in Northern Ireland. The FAI was formed in Dublin after the partition.

[MoJo @gam38950]

@NoPhilterPod The Irish Football Association did. The same association that governs football in Northern Ireland

[MoJo @gam38950]

@itsskitime @StanCollymore What? Best you go read some history

[MoJo @gam38950]

@brencelt @DaveTheWiserTim And his knowledge is wrong 😂

[MoJo @gam38950]

@DaveTheWiserTim You should probably get your facts correct before posting

[MoJo @gam38950]

@JC_TIPP @StanCollymore It’s called the Irish Football Association, not Northern Ireland FA. It’s based in Belfast, so after the act you refer to, the Rep of Ireland formed their own association (FAI). Northern Ireland always referred to themselves as Ireland but FIFA forced the change to NI

@KirkusCircus22 @abooker17 If you like the World Cup, you should watch the Champions League. It is the best of the best

[MoJo @gam38950]

@grrahamm @sgevans Also, the most watched tv event in history is a Matilda’s game!

[MoJo @gam38950]

@SirCumference98 @JeremiahDJohns It’s all to do with where the sport was based before partition. Football was based in Belfast, so the South formed their own association after partition. Rugby, cricket etc were based in Dublin and stayed all Ireland

[MoJo @gam38950]

@Vulpinius @JeremiahDJohns That’s why it’s called Team GB and NI 😂

[MoJo @gam38950]

@shiningbower @odhanvyz @JeremiahDJohns The Irish Football Association was based in Belfast, formed in 1880. Cricket and rugby were based in Dublin.

Southern Ireland formed their own Football Association in 1921. Both associations played under the name Ireland and FIFA forced the name change.

[MoJo @gam38950]

@AnTonyThe242894 @JeremiahDJohns The Irish Football Association was based in Belfast. The South formed their own association.

Cricket, Tennis and Rugby headquarters were in Dublin, so stayed all Ireland.

@inbayu @football360au The largest watched tv event in Australian History was The Matilda’s v England at the 2023 WC. If the Premier League was played at a reasonable time in Australia, it was be massive. It already has huge support amongst the younger generation

[MoJo @gam38950]

@simonj3me @MikeCarlton01 Yeah, that’s why it’s by far the worlds most popular sport 😂

[MoJo @gam38950]

@FR27Design Not sure how this can be blamed on the USA. This is all entirely down to the greed of FIFA. They have allowed it to happen.
