Easier though innit. Even I got called up for the ROI.its only football, Rice is English, is a Londoner, should never played any games for Ireland.

I’m amazed Brexit is happening at all with this widespread tolerance of immigrants and their descendants.its only football, Rice is English, is a Londoner, should never played any games for Ireland.
I think once you say you’re not sure you actually are sure but you’re actially wondering how to break the news. Going by recent experience. That said there was some little doubt over Mick O’Bafemi but once the news is announced there’s always reassurances that the decision was never in doubt. He didn’t take half as long as Rice to face up to it either.I'm in the once you've played you've made your choice camp but I do wonder what the reaction would be if Rice turned down his original Ireland call up and said he wasn't sure who to play for and chose to play for Ireland now, would he be getting stick for only choosing Ireland because he couldn't get into the England team?
Does Grealish get the same stick as Rice?

Rice playing 3 times at senior level is really what gets to most people although Grealish would have had a few caps now if he didn’t jump ship as he got a call up. He at least had the good sense to turn it down as he was still unsure.Does Grealish get the same stick as Rice?

I heard somewhere that the night Rice made his debut for England it meant there were four England players in the squad who could have played for Ireland by direct descent.
