I don't think anybody plays "soccer" in Ireland! (Not in NI or the Republic!)

Do you mean it's not popular or people don't use the name?

If the former, you're wrong: soccer is the most played sport in Ireland.

If the latter, you're wrong: football is Gaelic football almost universally outside Dublin and soccer is soccer. In Dublin, it's 50/50 depending on area, but no-one will blink if you say soccer.
