Hmm, you're a tad late with this article.

Since the achievements of the last world cup by the national side, which is only bettered by the 66 side, Gareth Southgate has again rekindled the nation's love affair with the national side

There is a distinct fever pitch passion increase for this side.

It has been hard on Southgate to put together a decent side mainly because some clubs keep buying overseas players to the detriment of promoting local talent, if you look at Liverpool's £200million in the last window, not a single British player bought.

Therefore, Southgate has to seek players from other divisions, some might not even have first team experience

Overall, the national side is still doing much better than in the last 50 years

Could've won the Croatia game, if not for glaring misses

Plenty of northern Ireland tops here, even though We are a tiny team.

And England did well enough to get fans on board at the world cup!

Club colours may be a fashion trend thing?

Bet not many Northern Ireland tops with Peacock-Farrell on them sell.

Do the N Ire fans sing that Katy Perry song I want to see your peacock, when he plays?

i find it interesting that a part of the uk where in effect you have do not cross lines and a deeply divided population would think that people walking round win northern ireland shirts just indicates a love of international football
