    Whats wrong with what i said? I have no particular affinity towards Italy, France, Spain etc either so i don't support them but if you are Irish and aren't cheering for England people assume you are a caveman

    It worked better with Scotland instead of Ireland on Sickipedia.

    It deosn't really work with Ireland because we have fairly much the same weather as England.

    The 200 euro I will win if they win the world cup is enough of a incentive for me to support them.
