🚨NEW: Jude Bellingham has spoken out on why singing the national anthem for England is "so special to him"
"I think the anthem is the last chance you get to really be mindful of the people who have got you there and what it means to be from England.
"I think about my grandad, who passed away just before my England debut. He was so patriotic.
"He was an Englishman through and through. He could give you every fact about every war, every battle, every king and every queen. I do think about my grandad when that moment’s coming."

🏴 Anyone interested in a private flight for 5 to Dallas with us for Englands opener against Croatia? Looking for 3 more.
DM me.
Leaving 10pm tonight, few beers, watch the game & head home Saturday eve.
Preferably someone with a private jet & tickets, otherwise we can't go.
@WeAreFreeLions We’ve also created a WhatsApp group specifically for this plus other chatter. Ideally single travelling fans can jump in Ubers with other England fans that have 1 extra spot free. Also a good way of meeting more people. Dm me if you want the link!
wonder if the UK v USA tension will boil over from here into real life and kick off at the world cup. yanks will be at a disadvantage in the punch-up because they'll all be wearing those giant foam hands.
@ben_bowman_ FWIW I used to agree with you. Would always have rather spurs win the prem or ucl. But since following England religiously home and away I have to say it’s been class. And have changed my view. Spurs make it so closed off. If you do England away I think you’d rather England.
@Cj_covblaze@EnglandBlock109 They organising these throughout the World Cup? Feel like without the classic European squares it’ll be harder to find this type of atmosphere
BLOCK NAVY & WHITE FLAGS
A few occasions this season we’ve brought out our block navy and white flags for fans to wave. We’ve made posts that these are our flags funded by fans have still had people take them.
We’re aware people likely think these are from the club and freebies but would love for fans to drop them back to the club at their convenience or bring them back at the start of next season.
If you know anyone that has one please just let them know. It’s no big deal we would just love them back!
We’ve also had some people reach out to us as they weren’t aware and really appreciate the honesty.
