England fans appear to be now supporting Ireland following World Cup exit

Welcome aboard.

The English chariot has crashed and burned and it appears their fans are now jumping on the Irish bandwagon. England suffered an humiliating exit from their own World Cup last night, the first time in the competition's history the host nation failed to make it past the pool stage, and fans are left at a loose end with another month of the competition to play. While this England fan wants the whole tournament scrapped, others have now pledged their allegiance to Ireland. https://twitter.com/BestoftheMail/status/650412357986951169?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Including this well-known Arsenal fan, who's father was Irish. https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/650414940159873028?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw And this former England international. https://twitter.com/IamAustinHealey/status/650416148002045952?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Other England fans also claimed they'll be cheering on Joe Schmidt's men.
