Read Paddy Crerand's autobigraphy recently, great player played in Man U's European Cup winning side of 1967 and also played for Celtic and Scotland, came from the Gorbals and now has an Irish passport. Crerand says when they played the national anthems before a Republic of Ireland game he was'nt sure who he should be supporting as his parents were Irish and he felt that he should have been wearing the green of Ireland instead of the dark blue of Scotland.
Anyway the Republic got humped by Australia with Skippy playing for the Aussies but Aiden was suppose to be the Republic's best player.
I suppose it always good to have a home side in the finals as it provides more interest as long as England get humped out in penalties at quarter final or semi final stage
