You May Have Missed Jordan Henderson Pieing Off Young Mascot

Everyone is doing the 'floss' dance including a young England mascot, who got blanked by Jordan Henderson.

Dele Alli celebrated his goal in last season's FA Cup semi-final by doing the popular dance move, and, naturally, kids are now following suit.

England hosted Costa Rica at Elland Road on Thursday night, with Jordan Henderson captaining his side.

The Liverpool midfielder waited in the tunnel with his teammates before heading out to the pitch.

He eventually led the lads out with a mascot performing the 'floss' dance right in front of him which went completely unnoticed.

Unlucky, little lad.

As for the actual friendly, the final game before England's World Cup campaign, Gareth Southgate's charges beat Costa Rica 2-0 thanks to goals from Marcus Rashford and Danny Welbeck.

And performances produced by some of the England players has made his job a lot more trickier ahead of naming his starting XI for Tunisia.

"It's more difficult, no question," he said.

"There are some serious decisions to take, but in a really good way. If I was thinking I have no one to play in this position or in that position, it would be a very different situation.

"We asked the players to give us competition for places, and they've done that. We needed options."

Rashford not only bagged a superb first-half goal but also earned 'Man of the Match' honours. Southgate weighed in on his outing.

"Rashford played with a real swagger tonight. For me, at the end of the season, he cares so much you can see he was trying too hard [at Manchester United]. I said to all the team before the game, I expect to see mistakes tonight and, if I don't, there might be a problem because we wouldn't be being as attack-minded as we want to be.

"They are going to make errors, but by taking risks they show the glimpses of quality like Marcus's opening goal. That was world-class, but he was also teasing defenders by the touchline."

Not long till we find out who he fields as the World Cup is less than a week away!
