just 55 days um after England lost to Spain in the final of Euro 2024 uh they're back another game against Ireland here in Dublin in the UEFA Nations League uh and it's all changed for England and all eyes are going to be on Lee carsley today the interim manager who stepped in to replace GTH Southgate and it's an intriguing situation because here is a former player that played 40 times for Ireland he qualified through his grandparents he then went on to manage England's under 21s and they won the the the Euros last year uh in Georgia uh under his stewardship and now he's fing in for for England and he was asked uh the big question yesterday um is he going to sing the national anthem God Save the King and his answer was no uh and he explained that he never sang the Irish national anthem because he always insisted that he was sort of in the zone and concent ating on the game and he gave the same reason for why he never sang the national anthem uh the English national anthem when he was in charge of the under 21s and he says nothing's going to change so I totally understand that I think if he was going to start to sing the the national anthem for the first time I don't think Dublin would be the the the the right location really when you consider his strong links with Island and obviously the country holds a special place in his heart but I think the real venom from the the home Terrace today will not be at carsley but it will be on a couple of England players first of all Declan rice three senior appearances for Ireland before moving over to play for England Jack greish appearances for the under 21s so I think those two players are going to get bucket lus thick I think they're expecting it I think if it was the other way round um those players would get it at Wembley as well but it's intriguing that also Connor Gallagher has an Irish passport Jude Bellingham and Harry through his grandparents could have all played for Ireland so it's a a good job they decided to stick with England um they've all got a part to play obviously bellingham's injured for this one uh but these England players the likes of Kane and rice they've really got to help Lee carsley today in what is actually a must win game and it's a must-win game because if you wants that job on a permanent basis and I believe he does even though he insists that he's not really thought about it he cannot afford to lose to Ireland they need a a good performance an attacking uh display on the front foot which uh he's promised but England cannot lose they really do need to win against Ireland and then it's at home to Finland on Tuesday which will be Harry Kane's 100th appearance for the country uh so that will be another landmark uh occasion but first of all big game for England today I think it's going to be difficult despite Ireland's recent results uh and let's hope Lee cars can get his first game off with a win regardless of the fact that he's not going to be singing the national anthem
