People Are Actually Tracking England's Flight Heading To Russia

Gareth Southgate's 23-man England squad are heading to the World Cup this afternoon, so to get in the spirit of things, fans are tracking their flight to Russia via an online tracker.

The likes of Jesse Lingard, Marcus Rashford and Kyle Walker jetted out of Birmingham Airport on Tuesday morning ahead of their opening fixture against Tunisia.

And they will touch down in Saint Petersburg at around 5pm.

It seems thousands of people will watch them arrive. Flight Tracker might have a surge of viewers in the next few hours. What a time to be alive.

A number of England players posted to their social media before they jetted out to Russia, including the previously mentioned Jesse Lingard and Kyle Walker.

The pair are seen as the king of social media within the England sqaud and they proved that on Tuesday morning. Looking smart, lads.

How far can England progress in this summer's World Cup? Will they surprise a few people?
