Won 2-0, last night.

So what happens if Ireland make it to the WC? Will you not watch the matches then assuming you have the time?

I feel similar when it's an England qualifier but when it's the tournament proper I am hooked. More emotionally invested when the matches really matter. Thursday night was painful, I don't care how much anyone supports England.
