I'd say it makes sense 'cos it's not like he's got much competition.

Vardy for ffs

Not a difficult decision is it

He's going to be a very good player

Yeah nothing to do with the fact he might actually get to play in some world cups and euro championships .

Also, he's English. Born in England. Raised in England. English. Simple as.

thank god!

Hope he keeps on with the kids shin pads and the socks rolled down. Will become a trend if / when he 'makes it'

Devastating news tbh.

Best of luck to the boy though. Can see him captaining England to multiple World and European Cups.

Townsend would have won you the WC, tbs tbs.

Commercial sense

Merely pointing out that where someone is born, brought up etc. has no relevance whatsoever to the country they end up representing in their chosen sport.

Oh and

Absolutely no idea who he is but delighted obviously

English quotas. City will buy him, give him £200k a week and bench him. What a life.

Well obviously it £#%&!ing does because the vast majority of sports people do end up representing the country they were born and brought up in.

You can post as many pictures as you like of other athletes that isn't going to change my original point which is that Jack Grealish isn't irish, his parents aren't irish, he's never even lived in Ireland.

It obviously wasn't a quick decision for him and he represented ireland at international level already. Aswel as playing gaa.

I would have declared for England if i was him. But it's not really up to some flag proud dope to tell him which was the right choice.

Not sure how many caps he'll get, but then again surely that just proves he's chosen for the right reasons. Good luck to him anyway. Whoever he is.
