<h3>What is the most popular football team in Ireland?</h3>

My friend and I are planning on backpacking across ireland and while we are there we wish to see a football gam. We want to see a game with a decent team. We also want to be able to follow the team a bit before we go so I was also wondering where a good place to view their games online would be. Thanx.


<strong>Ireland best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by dvs.leigh</i><br/>Shamrock Rovers and Bohemians FC are the two most successful and most followed in the country. They're rivals, both Dublin clubs, and have dominated Irish football for most of its existence. If you're an American though I might suggest St. Patrick's Athletic. An American by the name of Ryan Guy plays there and he's a decent player.</p>
