This would be huge...

While we didn't quite make the cut to host the 2023 Rugby World Cup, we eventually lost out to France following a long campaign *shakes fist angrily*, it seems a bid is being considered for the 2030 FIFA World Cup. The FAI has revealed that they're conducting a feasibility review into a potential joint-bid for the 2030 competition along with England, Wales and Scotland. In a statement on Wednesday evening, the FAI said:
"Following recent positive discussions amongst all parties it has been agreed that the Football Association of Ireland will join the English, Irish, Welsh and Scottish FAs in conducting a feasibility review into a potential joint bid to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup."
Qatar are planned as hosts of the 2022 finals, and 2026 will be a joint hosted finals between Canada, the United States and Mexico. Can you imagine Ireland lining out for a World Cup game in the Aviva?
