Mick Mccarthy’s work seems to have been in vain.

The irish national coach, who took over the helm from Martin O’neill in the autumn, have in several occasions tried to convince Declan Rice, that this not only is the man of the future for the irish national team – McCarthy will even make him the focal point.

It must have flattered the just 20-year-old Rice. But worked has it apparently not.

For West ham-the profile would rather play for England.

It has previously been suggested, and now it is clear as day, after the Rice has sent a written application to The International Football association, FIFA.

Here he expresses the desire to get permission to represent England at senior level, although he already has the game, as well as all of the irish national youth teams.

It has even been to three matches for the green irish, why the formal application to FIFA is a necessity. That it even might be the case due to there has only been talk about friendlies for Ireland.

he has confirmed on his Twitter profile.

– In the afternoon I called for Mick McCarthy and Gareth Southgate (England’s national coach, ed.) and informed them of my decision to write an application to FIFA to request a change of my international registration from Ireland to England, he writes.

– It has been an extremely tough decision, and honestly not one I had ever thought of having to make at this stage of my career.

To it at all due to Rice’s grandmother and grandfather is irish, but that he himself was born and raised in London.

of course, It has not only brought about positive reactions in Ireland, where a number of fans during his tweet with some kind of boos takes distance from the decision.

Several choose to compare him with Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish, who also represented the irish national youth teams, although he was born in England. He then came out some seasons ago, but has not yet received debut for the england midfielder.

– I respect the fact that some irish fans will be disappointed by the decision, and that people have shared opinions about the rules which apply for the national team and to represent the national team, writes Rice.

He has been through a tremendous development, with West ham since his debut against Burnley on the last match day of the 2016-17 season. First real battle came a few months later, and since he was the fast man in the squad most of the season. The success has continued this season under manager Manuel Pellegrini.

Declan Rice will be used in the central midfield and has shown so much talent and development in the Premier League, that it must be a matter of time before a bigger club stands ready with a big pocketbook.

He is remembered among other things for its scoring against Arsenal – the day before its 20th birthday – as well as the performance against Liverpool 4. February, when West ham managed a 1-1 draw at home. Here was Rice mentioned among the line’s best.

it Had to succeed him to be selected for and achieve playing for England, he will be the first ever, representing the two neighbouring countries. At the time of writing, he is a part of a number of prominent irish players, having been born in England, but who merely represented the irish as a result of parents or grandparents irish citizenship.

Among them legends Andy Townsend, Mark Lawrenson, Paul McGrath, David O’leary and…Mick McCarthy.
