Irish citizen, a bit like Eoin Morgan As for the Euros, I think England don't quite have the quality to go all the way this time, but the next Euros could be your time, with players like Welbeck and Sturridge coming of age. I think Brazil will be a disappointment with the climate, and "home advantage" for South American teams. Ireland, we're just happy to be there. If we have a decent draw, I think we can make the quarters. We just need one victory, and to stay hard to break down in the other two games. Anything more than that would be a dream
wise men say only fools support Scotland, Wales and Republic of Ireland ( englands 2nd team- not many born in ireland just like the 90's side lol)
Our usual starting XI: Given: Born in Donegal St. Ledger: Born in Birmingham, Irish grandfather Dunne: Born in Dublin O'Shea: Born in Waterford Kelly/Ward: Both born in Dublin Duff: Born in Dublin Andrews: Born in Dublin Whelan: Born in Dublin McGeady: Born in Glasgow, Irish grandparents Keane: Born in Dublin Doyle: Born in Wexford Other players who have played recently are: Hunt: Born in Portlaoise Fahey: Born in Dublin Walters: Born on Merseyside, Irish mother Long: Born in Tipperary But if it makes you happy to think that a side with 9 out of the regular starting XI born in Ireland, and only one of the others born in England is somehow an England B side, there's nothing much I can do to stop you.
Well in Peadar, I was going to go through them all myself but you have saved me the trouble of proving theese dumb sasanachs wrong. Cheers.
