A young English lad has chosen to play for England.
Cue: meltdown.
Jack Grealish's dallying over his international future didn't help. Nor did the years of playing for the Republic's underage teams.
But the Aston Villa attacker has made his decision and, naturally, it caused a split camp.
The Twitter trends stomped a lot of people.

It wasn't so much his choice of team than it was his choice of manager.

Playing for England instead of Ireland can only mean one thing for Villa players.

But a lot think that it's his loss.

Some were still confused.

But most were just angry.
