Put a name on this lovelgy green teddy shaped island there for me feen
That is the island of Ireland. It is made up of two separate states: Ireland, which is an independent sovereign democratic republic, and Northern Ireland, which itself is part of The United Kingdom Of Great Britain And Northern Ireland, a democratic, constitutional, monarchy.
Argentina are a bit good eh? Hernandez announces himself as a bit of a star. Their fans are crackers as well with the jumping and scarf waving.
Not sure about their views on the definition of 'Irishness' and what-not but hey ho.

These I can verify from my expedition.
