And ahead of the tournament, sportswear giants have released their promo as the Three Lions ace brushed up on his acting skills.

Bellingham kicks off the 30-second video as he races down the stairs in a retro yellow tracksuit to collect his suitcase and tells Spain ace Pedri to stop looking for food in the fridge and hurry up - because narrator and rapper Stormzy is about to arrive in his bus to pick them up.

Barcelona's Pedri throws a boot bag to Real Madrid goal machine Karim Benzema, who will represent France in the Middle East and looks relaxed as he munches on a cereal bowl of footballs for breakfast in his pyjamas.

Messi - for years the face of adidas - joins in as he plays table football against the 2006 version of himself, wearing the Argentina shirts from the first and last of his FIVE World Cups.

The camera then cuts to a smiling Son Heung-min - at risk of missing the tournament after surgery on a fractured eye socket.

Stormzy says: "With Sonny, everything's brighter," before rapid Achraf Hakimi completes a jigsaw in lightning-quick speed.

Fashion icon and Germany winger Serge Gnabry kits himself out in adidas drip and takes his pick of Originals trainers and white socks to go with his home Die Mannschaft jersey.

The seven superstars congregate at a bus stop in the wilderness with the official World Cup ball and climb on board when driver Stormzy pulls up.
