For optimistic england fans England’s 2 -1 win over Nigeria in a warm up friendly will be a sign that things might go better than expected in Russia.Plus the fact that England won their last world cup in 1966 with the help of a russian linesman will be another factor that they will consider as a good omen.There will be lots of linesmen in the games that England will play at the World Cup and presumably most of them will be russian !
The more pragmatic fans,however,know that much will depend on whether Harry Kane will be able to deliver on the big stage and that Sterling’s tatoos won’t get in the way of his goalscoring abilities.
