After two Gaelic Football World Championships in the books, I figure that the sport is quickly growing, so I felt it right to start up a discussion thread here for any questions related to the tournament to be asked out of character instead of in signups or the everything thread. Feel free to ask anything about the community, and it will most likely be answered by a fellow nation. Don't be shy to ask.
