As wearing an England shirt in a major tournament seems to end in tears more often than not, let’s hope the lads don’t confuse themselves for England internationals on the pitch!
Remember lads, you may be wearing an England shirt but you’re Guernsey through and through! Do us proud! :-)

Excuse my ignorance, but why are the island football team wearing England kit? Why aren’t they wearing the Guernsey kit?
I’m not able to read the full story in the press so hopefully someone can explain the reasoning here.
Guernsey is NOT England so I can’t understand why they are wearing an England kit.
