Gareth Southgate and Harry Kane have promised to put a smile on people's faces ahead of England's opening World Cup game.
The Three Lions take on Iran at the Khalifa International Stadium on Monday. Southgate's side are expected to beat Iran and get their campaign off to a winning start, yet they haven't been victorious since their 3-0 friendly triumph against the Ivory Coast in March.
Southgate's comments were in regards to the current political and social situation in the UK. The biggest hit to living standards on record was delivered earlier this week when chancellor Jeremy Hunt announced a series of cuts and tax rises in his autumn budget.
