James Milner has revealed how the England team have been relaxing before matches. Before the match with Slovenia, players split into their club teams for a quiz night and Liverpool came out on top. The Aston Villa winger said:
“We’ve had a good few days training, we were very sharp and had a few good days together with a few activities. We are all feeling pretty happy and went into the game relaxed. We had a quiz the other night, which was good fun and everyone was involved. We had a good laugh. Liverpool won, we were in teams and Jamie Carragher’s knowledge of footie did it for them – it was pretty special. I wasn’t in Man City’s team! The last few days has brought us closer together. We’ve had good training. When things aren’t going well, that’s when you have to pull together and it’s make or break. You pull together as a group and we’ve done that, and the longer you are together and the further you get in the tournament, you are going to come together more.”
England play Germany in the last 16 of the World Cup on Sunday Afternoon in Bloemfontein.
