Ed Sheeran performed a secret acoustic gig for England’s World Cup squad at their Kansas City base last week, continuing a tradition with the team that started in 2021 through captain Harry Kane. The visit came before England’s historic 3-2 win over Mexico at Estadio Azteca, which set up a quarterfinal against Norway in Miami on July 12. Sheeran predicted an England-France final, with Harry Kane and Erling Haaland’s goal tallies drawing added attention to the upcoming matchup.
