Irish people won't have to worry about English fans and media figures loudly toasting a World Cup victory over the festive period according to Roy Keane.
While he was again revealed as one of the leading members of ITV's punditry team for the Qatar tournament, Keane didn't engage with the hoopla that is so often characteristic of British TV stations' coverage around England's chances.
At an unveiling event of ITV's punditry line-up, which also features Gary Neville and Graeme Souness, the Corkman bluntly played down their chances of lifting the trophy as he reckons they'll 'fall just short.'
