Those Englishmen!

Pretty inflated! Or just in a good mood…

Before the quarterfinals against world champions France (Saturday, 8 p.m., live on Magenta and in the live ticker on Bild.de), photos from the England team hotel in Al Wakra, south of Doha, appear.

Captain Harry Kane (29) can be seen in the pool, the water up to his waist. He’s practicing a basketball throw. But the background of the photo is interesting: there are two inflated plastic crocodiles lying on starting blocks!

The English national team already had such swimming animals with them during Euro 2020/21. Back then, Bukayo Saka and Co. splashed around with inflated, colorful plastic unicorns.

England advanced to the final against Italy but lost on penalties.

Maybe that’s why the “more aggressive” swimming animal variant was chosen…

In any case, the water fun also seems to contribute to team building. Substitute Jack Grealish (27): “We have great team spirit.”

Holiday feeling in the right dose can also have an inspiring effect.
