RUSSELL CROWE IS a pretty keen sports fan.
He’s a co-owner of Australian NRL side the South Sydney Rabbitohs while he did some punditry work for Sky Sports during the 2009 Ashes series.
There was also a relatively long-running story linking the Oscar-winning actor with purchasing a stake in Leeds – the team he’s supported since the 1970s.
Last October, however, he took to social media to reveal that after serious deliberation, he wouldn’t be investing in the club.
But now, the 52-year-old has been showing his passion for football again.
He’s been watching plenty of Euro 2016 and, for reasons unknown, he’s been tweeting his support for Poland.
After they got the better of Ukraine in their final group game thanks to a winner from Jakub ‘Kuba’ Błaszczykowski, the New Zealander posted a message of congratulations.
The revelation came as a bit of surprise to Polish football fans. And to the country’s football federation too.
Though they were quick to try and capitalise on their new-found celebrity fan.
But, don’t fret.
Crowe has a soft spot for the Irish too.

Whatever happens in this game, one team is gonna win or draw. It’s really that simple.
@Superguy:

@Superguy: two teams might draw
@Frainc Ó Broin: lol
@Frainc Ó Broin:
Good result and up to 5th
Utd 2-0
Open game 2-3 united
Utd to be outfoxed today they were lucky against Burnley 2-1 the
@Liam Neeson: how’d that prediction work out?
Even though United have taken strides forward, they won’t win the league while they have a clearly outdated player at right back.He needs any contract offers ripped up in front of his eyes. And Sanchez can join him also. Both have been so, so bad today.
@Gavin Mitchell: ya I tend to agree. Young is just filling a gap. I think if this game was on in old Trafford dalot might have started. Ole probably doesn’t want to throw him in the deep end. United need two full backs like what city did. A more mobile holding midfielder than matic and a replacement for Sanchez who just can’t seem to get going. He’s costing them a fortune
@Gavin Mitchell: I wouldn’t be surprised to see them go for Wan-Bissaka during the summer.
Really needed.
@Anthony: agreed. And although s doing very well, they need a big upgrade on Lukaku, he’s not cutting the mustard
@Anthony: Sanchez is going to be a real problem, I don’t think he is going to cut the mustard, but what will they do with him?? No one is going to offer him the wages he is on at Utd, so I think selling him is out of the question, why the hell would he leave if he is earning what he’s been reported to be earning.
Sell Lukaku asap nor even bothering to run after ball, martial not much better.
