Ireland v England? Try Poland v Russia

By now, you’ve probably all seen the video of the Irish fans greeting the English team’s coach in Krakow. It was hard to miss. And even harder not to laugh at, even if there’s something a little sad about how the English – by contrast – are so supportive of Ireland.

At the Irish squad’s media centre Gdnyia, I decided to show it to a Polish journalist named Marek who I had been sharing a bit of information and news with.

He didn’t quite laugh. He scoffed.
