Chapter 917: The Drama

The managers of the football clubs had already started to enjoy a short holiday. Only the managers of the powerhouse teams were required to appear in the media from time to time. Players with national team assignments were not yet able to take a break: when the league tournament was over, the national team's games were still waiting for them.

On June 11th, the England team would play a friendly match at home with the South American powerhouse, Uruguay. Four days later, they would face their competitor in the qualifier, Serbia, at Wembley Stadium.

After playing that game, those national footballers were finally able to go on their holiday.

In the game against Uruguay, England won with a score of 2:1. Gerrard and Rooney contributed goals. The Uruguayans relied on the Palermo striker, Cavani, to score one goal in the 90th minute.
