Having had a miniature St George flag ripped off my car during the last World Cup I am preparing to openly support England again and intend wearing my [Three Lions] replica shirt this weekend in Dublin. Is this a wise move or still too soon? Perhaps your readers could help?

Anyone?

We Are Ireland – World Cup 2018 Song

Yes!

Jason Branagan writes:

Today marks the start of World Cup 2018 and although Ireland aren’t there, it doesn’t mean we can’t have a World Cup song.

Ireland may not be the greatest footballing nation in the world (despite what the song says), but no one beats us on nostalgia and that’s what comes through here.

We Are Ireland is a homage to the spirit of the Irish football fans…
