The Irish are coming! (http://yanks-abroad.com/get.php?mode=blog&entry=128)

I guess the Irish tapped out their Premier League prospects and have gotten desperate.

I will respond to this with the exact post I responded when posted on an Ireland forum
This better a joke. None of these ****s like Dempsey and Donovan are Irish except for on March 17th and would sully the green jersey. I have no problems with the likes of Ronan O'Gara but what most people don't realize is the majority of US soccer players (and indeed the fans of the US national team) are a bunch of massive douchebags. I've had the misfortune of being around them. May as well just beg (a not as skilled version of) Steven Ireland to come back.
I'm all for playing friendlies here and even having a camp, but playing in the MLS is not good enough to play for Ireland and believe me when I say the vast majority of US-born players who qualify probably think Ireland is still owned by Britain and would not add anything to the team. Holding a camp for LoI players would be far more productive.
This is not just for the Irish diaspora here, same goes for Polish, German, etc., etc., etc.

i remember reading somewhere that half of the english national team have roots from ireland and for ireland half of the team have roots from england...i dont know if thats true..just throwing that out there
as for looking for talent in the US, you will never know. you might find the next #10. someone from the US youth ranks might change allegiance. anything could happen. look at giuseppe rossi with italy.

Noel King, Head Coach of the Republic of Ireland Men's Under 21 team, has been tracking the 19-year-old, Conor Doyle, who was born in Texas, but is eligible for Ireland through his Dublin-born father.
