Abi BrayRight now many soccer fans in the UK are gearing up to fly down to South Africa to support their team. This news comes just as England’s soccer team arrived in Africa for the World Cup. They are headed to their training facility outside of Johannesburg.
Many fans were thrilled to see some of the big name stars making their way down to the World Cup. Stars like Wayne Rooney, David Beckham, and captain Rio Ferdinand were dressed in their official three piece grey suits as they headed to an England liveried coach for the three hour journey to Rustenburg.
The squad, which is made up of 23 men, watched traditional dances as they were welcomed to the World Cup base. The players have been preparing for the past month for this moment. In fact, they spent nearly two weeks at a training camp in Austria. The England soccer team will be facing the USA on June 12th.
The captain of the team said that he is confident that the boredom factor will not affect the players through such a lengthy build up. He said that the days leading up to the first game are the most important period in terms of staying away from boredom and stuff like that.
He went on to say that, once the games start and the team is watching other games, the adrenalin kicks in. People are jumping at their chance to get to the next game. He noted that they have a lot to do before the games kick off, including computers, cards, table tennis and pool.
