England Players React to World Cup Call Up

2 MIN READ

Stop what you're doing for just one minute and imagine that you could wake up on the receiving end of a phone call from the England manager. Savouring the moment the calls came in, those plucky England players who have earned their spot on the plane to Russia have been marking the moment across social media...

Throwbacks and a thank you, that pretty much sums up the general feeling that covers the board of this bright, young England squad. Speaking of young, Ashley Young, now a senior and experienced member of the squad kicked things off with an strong full-kit look. Soon after, Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard and Dele Alli followed suit with their own celebratory posts.

Even Trent Alexander-Arnold who's had to cancel his lads holiday to Marbs 'cos he now has to work all summer managed to put a positive spin on things. Good luck lads, bring it home yeah? Or just don't be completely s**t.

Keeping things chilled, not over hyping any heroes - that seems to the be Gareth Southgate approach. The nonchalant style of Kyle Walker is golden while Danny Welbeck is clearly ecstatic. Good on the lad.

And while we're searching, you can't help but enjoy this from Jordan Pickford. Ok, it's not England related but he does look slightly like he's on a flight simulator from London to Moscow with all those trophies he's carrying. Add a World Cup medal won't you, mate?
