England players face sleepless night ahead of Belgium clash

England national team’s hotel in Kalliningrad is situated next to a strip club on a noisy street, so they could be sleepless ahead of clash with Belgium. Local business­­man Ivan Torbinski said: “I can’t bel­­ieve a football team would choose to stay here the night before the game. “This will be a very busy and noisy area until well after midnight. Pobedy Square is the obvious place for fans to congregate and drink into the night. “The strip club only opened recently and is very popular. Many of the hotel rooms overlook it.” Maxim VIP “striptease club and strip bar” offers erotic massages until 6am. It has even hired seven extra ladies to meet possible demand from Three Lions fans. The venue boasts of “topless private massage and other exciting surprises”, and has special offers for England supporters. England's third and final Group G match of the World Cup 2018 in Russia will kick off tomorrow but having swiftly progressed to the last 16, the Three Lions will not be fearing any team. Moreover, around 5,000 England fans are expected in the city to cheer on the team.
