England play Brazil on Sunday 2nd June in the Maracana, Rio de Janeiro, and the England Fans’ Embassy team have hauled themselves to the beaches of Brazil to hand out Free Lions 129. It’s a tough life, isn’t it?
The team will operate on Saturday 1st June (10am-5pm) and Sunday 2nd June (10am-1pm). Subject to official permission, they hope to be based by the beach at Ipanema, by the junction of Av. Vieira Souto and Rua Farmede Amoedo – at the end of the street where the ticket collection point is.
Post-game edit:
Portuguese Primeira Liga side Tondela are the stars of this week’s And finally… with four of the green and yellow striped knackers conspiring to miss an open goal against Chaves. The main culprit, however, has to be forward Cristian Arango with some very ropey finishing. Incidentally – they lost.
Due to play their fixture against Croatia behind closed doors tonight, England return to action in full public view on Monday against Spain in the UEFA Nations League.
England begin their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign this week and will be heading off to the Adriatic Sea on Monday to take on Montenegro.
England are off to Portugal this week as they prepare for the first-ever finals of the new UEFA Nations League – and the Free Lions team will be on hand to help fans once more.
