    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

    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.
