The WAGs of the England internationals previously stayed in a luxury cruise that boasts top-notch facilities and services.
With Jordan Henderson, Harry Kane, and Bukayo Saka's on-target firings, England secured a stirring 3-0 win over Senegal on Sunday night. After dominant performances against noisy neighbors Wales and Senegal, England advanced into the World Cup's quarter-finals. The Three Lions, considered a real contender for this year's championship, is set to face reigning champion France in the much-awaited match on December 11.
Throughout their impressive journey so far, the 26-man squad has been greatly supported by their WAGs and kids. The ladies and families of England internationals had been staying aboard the luxurious MSC World Europa cruise ship, which is worth £1 billion. The luxury boat boasted several top-notch facilities and services that served England WAGs and another 6,000 top dollar-paying passengers.
Despite it being described as an 'ultramodern urban metropolis', with packages for accommodation up to £6,000, the England WAGs were not having pleasant experiences and many of them decided to walk out of the ship.
Unpleasant experience at sea for the WAGs
According to the Daily Mail, the families of both Grealish and Maguire no longer stay on the luxury ship after being ‘deeply unimpressed’ with life out at sea. Insiders claimed that they felt 'isolated', with disturbing noises from wild fans' celebrations affecting their night sleep.
It is revealed that the final decision was made after a fellow resident urinated into the atrium from the fifth floor earlier in the tournament, an experience that dreads the England WAGs. In addition, phone reception on the cruise ship has also been dissatisfying, with a majority of them experiencing issues when contacting the England players.
Where are the WAGs staying?
According to the Mirror, following the ladies' exit, they have been relocated into 'hotels as planned', with Attwood and Hawkins (Grealish's and Maguire's spouses) leading the exodus. Other players who have quit life from the luxury liner include Jordan Pickford’s wife Megan, 26, Kyle Walker’s model wife Annie Kilner, 30, and Luke Shaw’s girlfriend Anouska Santos, 30.
According to the Daily Express, Hawkins chose to stay at the Waldorf Astoria, a very luxurious oasis that boasts a private beach, a spa, and eight top restaurants. talkSPORT says that the location is ideal for England WAGs if their spouses make it to the World Cup final, which will take place at the Lusail Stadium nearby.
England will face France in the quarter-final
England is set to encounter France - the reigning champions from 2018. Throughout this year's tournament, Didier Deschamps' side has shown their astonishing attacking charges, led by PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe. The 23-year-old, who already has 5 goals so far, will be France's deadliest weapon and Gareth Southgate will need some tactics to counter him.
Speaking ahead of England’s clash with France, meanwhile, Southgate insisted his side was making prudent preparations.
'It’s the biggest test that we can face. They’re world champions, incredible depth of talent, outstanding individual players, very difficult to play against and to score goals against.'
