With their tongue firmly in their cheeks, the team behind the World Cup fan zone in Times Square has announced nine 'rules' for any visiting American fans to follow at this evening's screening of the big game.
With anticipation building as England prepares to take on the USA, the city centre Central Park has shared some points for rival fans to note ahead of the 7pm kick-off. The fan zone, which saw s cenes of jubilation during England's 6-2 win against Iran in its World Cup opener, is gearing up for another sell-out night.
And on its Facebook page it appeared keen to stoke some friendly rivalry with a light-hearted list of regulations and 'warnings' for any fans of the US team who might join the party. They include a ban on the word 'soccer'; a joke that a 50% tip is customary behaviour in England and guidelines on the muted way to celebrate in the event of a USA goal.
