It is also important for people to understand why two anthems are sung. The national anthem, "Amhrán na bhFiann", is played in any stadium in the Republic of Ireland because this is where the game is being played. "Ireland's Call" is played because it represents a 32-county team. I hope the courtesy we have always extended will be extended again on Sunday. I recall very vividly that day in 1973 when England came over when others would not.
