Ireland is punching very far above its weight…
Those clever folks over at Sporting Intelligence (@sportingintel) have put together this map to represent the different nationalities in Premier League squads ahead of the new season.
Ireland has a very creditable 29 representatives, more than anywhere else bar England, Spain and France.
It’s an excellent way to show off what could be some rather dull numbers. Nicely played, as always, by Sporting Intelligence.
