Declan declares!

It's seemingly taken longer than Brexit, but Declan Rice has finally come out in favour of playing for England over Ireland. His procrastination has made Theresa May look almost a model of alacrity. But he's surely made the right decision football-wise, even if his family roots might be Irish and he's already played friendlies for Ireland. At least he can ditch his England/Ireland half and half scarf now. The way Rice is developing he can be better than Jordan Henderson or Eric Dier as a defensive midfielder. This is much to Gareth Southgate's gain and now we have to ensure that Declan has a great England career while remaining a West Ham player.
