The England football team is in Portugal getting ready for the World Cup
Sven-Goran Eriksson's men are relaxing and training at the Portuguese resort of Vale do Lobo on the Algarve this week, before the final intensive preparations take place.
The team and staff arrived at the resort on Monday (15 May) from Luton Airport and took out 50 luxury villas so they could also be joined by their families and guaranteed the necessary privacy.
In the mornings the players have been taking part in light training, before spending the afternoons taking in what the Algarve has to offer and the resort's beach, golf course and tennis courts.
The trip is being seen as the last time before the England's World Cup campaign starts on 10 June for the team - including Micheal Owen, Rio Ferdinand and Frank Lampard - to meet up with their families.
