Country: Ireland 50/50 cotton/polyester with screened logo. From the continent where the game was born, Ireland was one of the first nations to play. Since 1882, the Ireland National Team has battled in international soccer, being one of the first opponents of founding nation and neighbors, England. Before 1921, Ireland was part of the United Kingdom; since then, there have been two Irish soccer teams: Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The Republic of Ireland began play in 1926, and has always been a tough opponent. Fans of the Green and White will always remember November 16th, 1983 in Dublin, the day their beloved Irish squad stomped on Malta 8 to 0! Big Jack Charlton built the Republic of Ireland National Team into real contenders during his spell as manager and led the side to World Cup appearances in 1990, 1994 and 2002, reaching the quarterfinals in Italy 1990. New manager, Brian Kerr, is no stranger to success guiding his side to win 9 international matches in a row for the Euro Cup 2004 qualifiers. The return of Roy Keane to the pitch, alongside other English Premier League stars such as Damien Duff, Robbie Keane, and Shay Given, and the current lead in their qualifying group, should see this extremely talented side qualifying for the 2006 World Cup!
