The England WAGs are standing by their clothing choices, despite criticism from Irish football pundit Roy Keane. The wives and girlfriends of England footballers have been wearing replica England jerseys with their partners' names on the back, which Keane deemed 'ridiculous'.
Keane, a former Manchester United captain, expressed his frustration on a podcast, stating that the women's outfits were unnecessary and attention-seeking. However, the WAGs have seemingly responded, describing Keane as 'miserable' and unyielding in their support for their partners.
The women plan to continue wearing the jerseys unashamedly, with some even taking to social media to poke fun at Keane's comments. Ollie Watkins' partner, Ellie, captioned a photo of herself and her children wearing England jerseys, 'Roy Keane do you approve?' The post received thousands of likes and comments, with fans praising her for clapping back at Keane.
The WAGs have traveled to the US to support the England team in the 2026 World Cup, where they have been documenting their trip on social media. Many of them are childhood sweethearts and have been together for years, including Jordan Pickford and Megan Davison, who met at secondary school and married in March 2020.
The England team emerged victorious in their final group match, beating Panama 2-0. The WAGs had plenty of reasons to celebrate, and they will next play DR Congo on July 1 in Atlanta. If England beats DR Congo, they will advance to the round of 16, where they will face either Mexico or Ecuador.
Despite Keane's criticism, the WAGs remain committed to showing their support for their partners. As one insider put it, 'Why should they let someone like Roy Keane tell them otherwise? He's a miserable old git.' The women are determined to continue wearing their jerseys and enjoying the World Cup, despite Keane's disapproval.
