IRELAND DIDN’T MAKE it to this year’s World Cup, but by God, are we invested in this tournament.
Many of us support every team that goes up against England as if it were Ireland, and as England advance in the competition, our investment in each of their rivals is growing immensely. On Monday night, people in pubs across Ireland were acting as if they were born and reared in Colombia, and yesterday afternoon we were massive fans of IKEA.
The feeling isn’t just shared in pubs, but on Twitter too. Here’s a roundup of some of the tweets that sum up how most of the country feels about England’s progress in the World Cup, so far.

I couldn't give one single fuck about football but all I know is I hope England don't win because we won't hear the end of it for the next 50+ years
This deranged nonsense coming from bits of ultraleft Twitter about how supporting England makes you a Tory/fascist...... i have thought about it. I like it, and agree
Me, 99% of the time: ugh, that “anywhere but England” attitude is sooooo immature Me, World Cup 2018: “26+6=1 ye colonizing bastards! I hope you enjoy having no potatoes!”
