Oh Bob, I’m pretty sure the Italians are still pissed about Byron Moreno’s refereeing in 2002 v. the hosts South Korea. I especially enjoyed how Perugia’s owner/chairman wouldn’t let South Korea’s Ahn Jung Hwan play for his Serie A team anymore.

“Most Oppressed People” is a title the Irish have given themselves.

Tell them about a typhoon that killed 10,000 in Indonesia and they will tell you about the Famine. A terrorist killed 300 in Iraq? That’s nothing compared to the horrors of Cromwell. A child starving in North Korea? Well, Eamon hasn’t had a drink in 3 days.

Ok, but I want the 35th spot. For me, I mean.

I’m sure Ireland will also be lobbying for Costa Rica to get the 34th place since they went out because of an offside goal from Uruguay in the 2nd leg playoff game.

I’m pretty sure I could create a list of the ten most oppressed peoples featuring neither the Irish nor the Palestinians. Inverness fans would probably feature, though.

Enough you whiny irish c**ts!!!

Move on and get a life.

Even the italians didnt whine as much when they got robbed by an offside at the WC about 8 years ago.

You are worse than italians. In soccer, I cant find a worse insult on your manhood.

The Irish also want a percentage of all kisses received as a result of “Kiss Me, I’m Irish” buttons and shirts people wear.

Also, a fifty-one percent stake in the Boston Celtics.

And, the Irish would like back all of the “Luck of the Irish” that has been doled out over the years.

Finally, they want some goddamned Lucky Charms for the little leprechaun*.

*may or may not be Tommy Smyth.

“That’s a reasonable argument if your Irish, the most oppressed people.”

The Palestinians are not impressed.

In honor of the 162nd Anniversary of the Great Famine, England should rightfully give up their spot to Ireland and cede the 6 illegally occupied counties to them as well.

That’s a reasonable argument if your Irish, the most oppressed people.
