Idris is the kinda guy that I want to be like when I'm was old as him. He goes along with the beat of his own drum and seems genuinely happy with himself and is having fun doing what he wants, regardless of how old he is or what people expect of him at a certain age.

I know well the feeling of being torn between teams. Whenever the Rugby Six Nations is on, I, of course, root for Ireland, but my Italian wife roots for her home team. So whenever they play each other, it goes like this: My wife: "That was a foul!" Me: "It wasn't. It was a perfectly good tackle". My wife: "That shite referee is biased". It sometimes gets a little stressful. MsG

1:28 The game against USA will be "sad for the US". Some World Cup history for young Mr Elba: USA has played England twice in the WC, England has yet to win. The England defeat against the USA in 1950 has been described as the biggest upset in football history. At the time England was being called 'The Kings of Football'. Their team was managed by Walter Winterbottom and included future manager Alf Ramsey. The US team included Gino Pariani and Charlie Colombo. The referee was Generoso Dattilo and one of the two assistant referees (linesmen) was Giovanni Galeati. Didn't the Mafia have its heyday back then? Probably unrelated. Anyway, England played the USA again in the WC in Africa in 2010 and managed a 1-1 draw this time. So, USA so far undefeated by England in WC matches.
