I’ve just received my draw for the 2030 World Cup as Japan, and decided to read through every email i received about the cup (unlike normal). I then come to find that in 2026, Ireland won the World Cup, which I find particularly impressive considering one of my old players at my previous club, AFC Fylde, now starts on the wing for them at age 21. So considering that, I’ve come to the conclusion that the Irish lads rocked up to the US with hope and Evan Ferguson and somehow won. Incredible.
