Irish Homeless International Soccer team?

[T Fearon]

Quite often this team is featured in Ireland programmes (eg last Saturday's Italy match) and the squad has been introduced to the crowd at the interval etc.

One thing always puzzled me however. When they play away games do the lads sleep in doorways and park benches in the likes of Paris, Brussels etc? Its hardly ideal preparation?

Finished work early one day about a year ago and the homeless world cup (I think) was on the box.
The Irish team was made up totally from Dubs who reached the semi final. Apparently our best player was the goalkeeper. Unfortunate because he couldnt play in the match because he was completely off his face on drugs.


We lost
