Rice is the one most people hate, not sure why the media keep throwing Grealish in to make them a pair

Cos he’s worn an Ireland shirt in a game before

Ah that is a bit different, don’t think this should be a possibility with Senior appearances. Although then there’s the question would he have played them if it locked him out the England side.

Understand the Rice backlash then, but the Grealish one feels a bit silly.

Think he gave ROI fans false hope by sort of declaring and then changing his mind. He was already starting for West Ham in prem at that point and when you see the state of ROI's central midfield it was a huge loss.

Grealish played for their youth sides but that's difference and don't think he ever accepted a call up for their senior side despite O'Neill wanting to pick him. He needed to get his career going with us. Then got his first England call up at 25.

ROI had plenty of those down the years themselves, didn't Cascarino admit in his book he had no Irish heritage at all?

Got to say though that England look miles better than I think they ever did under Southgate, looks like they actually have an idea of what to do when in possession.

That run and the ball in behind is something you’d never see under Southgate, although rudimentary really. Just zero tempo, safe, possession until the opposition have their shape back.
