"I am not a fan of the English team," he admitted on US radio.
"I find the whole circus surrounding it annoying, that when they beat Germany in a friendly they are world beaters, but we all know Germany will win that trophy, and England will be lucky to get to the quarter finals.
“No, I'm not an England fan, though it would be great if England won anything, it would be truly staggering.
"I don't consider myself to be English, my parents are Irish, my wife's Scottish, my children have got some Scottish in them, but at the same time I don't feel a hundred percent Irish either because I was born in England.
"So internationally I don't really support anyone, but if England were playing Scotland tomorrow I would be supporting Scotland.
"If Ireland were playing England, I would be supporting Ireland, same for Wales, but I've been to England matches and it's always a good laugh."
