The Boys in Green aren't heading to Qatar for what's proving to be a pretty controversial World Cup, so who can we shout for?

Well, it turns out some football fans in Ireland are secretly supporting England in the tournament.

A survey by Ladbrokes shows 12 per cent of people here are supporting England in the tournament when it kicks off on Sunday.

However a third of those say they're doing so privately.

Six per cent of people are supporting Wales, while Spain and Portugal are both on five per cent.
