The World Cups can be a tense jaunt for international teams, but Jack Grealish and Luke Shaw had a great time in Qatar.
The England stars enjoyed an excellent start to the competition after securing top spot in Group B with seven points from a possible nine.
As a result, the Three Lions were enjoying some downtime when a bad luck hit one of their stars.
Enjoying a relaxing break, Mason Mount shared a video on Instagram that showed the aftermath of Shaw being hit with bird poo.
The Manchester United star didn’t seem impressed after falling victim to that slice of misfortune, but his teammates certainly saw the fun side.
Mount’s video showed Jack Grealish sitting at the table and laughing at Shaw’s bad luck.
Meanwhile, on Instagram, Jude Bellingham called the video — or maybe the poop — a masterpiece.
Luckily for England, Shaw’s mishap could end up being a blessing in disguise.
In some cultures, having bird poo on you is seen as a good luck charm, something England will no doubt hope to build on as they progress through the World Cup.
Next up is Senegal on Sunday – live on talkSPORT – with Gareth Southgate’s side hoping a win will secure them a place in the quarter-finals.
