WATCH: Irishman begs God not to let England win the World Cup

Rudi Kinsella

England

He really doesn’t want football to come home.

England are into the semi-final of the World Cup.

Most Irish people aren’t too bothered just yet, maybe if they win the thing they’ll be a little different, but right now they’re content to see our neighbours succeeding.

But like we said, that’s just most Irish people.

There’s still some who would die before joining the ‘it’s coming home’ brigade, and would give anything to see England crash out against Croatia.

These folks will always have a bee in their bonnet when it comes to English sports teams, and seeing them win the World Cup would be their worst nightmare.

Like this man.

The latest sketch from Rory’s Stories represents that group of people who will go to any length to see England lose, even seeking divine intervention…

Where do you fall? Are you happy to see them do well, or are you like this desperate soul?

England’s semi-final game is against Croatia on Wednesday, where we’re sure millions of Irish people will be watching.
