The Guardian’s hero-worship of Ireland’s most important player at Euro 2016 is way over the top

We are all Jon Walters.

And, we're sorry Mr Breen, but this summer we're all dreaming of a team of Jonnie Walters. Number one, it's Jon Walters. Number two, it's Jon Walters. Number three - you know the rest. It seems that Ireland fans aren't the only ones dreaming of that perfect team though. The Guardian are too. The man with the best back in football, the man who plays in nine different positions all at once for his country and the nation's leading goalscorer through a special, special qualifying campaign is being recognised all over at long last. Yes, Jon Walters mania is universal now. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/652859719133069312 https://twitter.com/JonWalters19/status/652889889185382401 But if you can go overboard on Walters loving - and we're still not sure if you can - The Guardian are guilty and then some. Yes, he's a God amongst men. Yes, he's the country's most important player headed for France. And, yes, he's a superhero. https://twitter.com/topherknowles/status/665115941995454464?ref_src=twsrc^tfw But there are other members of the Republic of Ireland squad too. Not that The Guardian's Euro 2016 coverage would testify to that. No, they're dreaming of a 23-man squad comprised solely of Jon Walters. And it is a beautiful thing. Suddenly, Ireland are favourites to win the thing.
