Any country if you go really, really in depth somewhere, the human rights are not totally respected.

It is very important that football can see beyond religion but FIFA does not just ignore its impact.

We shall wonder if one day our game is played on another planet? Why not? Then we will have not only a World Cup we will have inter-planetary competitions.

Racism is if there are spectators or, outside the field of play, there are movements to discrimination, but, on the field of play, I deny that there is racism.

They (the FAI) have asked, very humbly, can't we be team No 33 at the World Cup? They have asked for that... really!

I can understand that people are not happy, but they should not use football to make their demands heard
