The World Cup is underway for England and the “Three Lions”, as the national team is called, got off to a dream start in the opening match against Iran on Monday.

Already at half-time the lead was up to 3-0 and the second half then became a very pleasant trip for England, who could give the chance to several substitutes. One of them was the billionaire Jack Grealish who got to make his World Cup debut and the day to honor also his first World Cup goal.
