James McCarthy snapped this picture of James McClean colouring in his football boots at the Ireland hotel.
Five reasons why he's colouring in the boots could include:
1. He left his lucky black boots back in Sunderland.
2. Trap has introduced new rules meaning all players must wear boots of uniform colour but James can't afford new ones.
3. Sheer boredom.
4. He's actually writing his name on them because Andy Keogh keeps taking them.
5. He's drawing tattoos on them so they match his arms.
