However, the English footballers refused to try the food, probably, because the England squad is afraid of poisoning at the championship.
English football players have brought their own cooks to Russia, as well as a number of products such as muffins, baked beans, tomato sauce, chocolate, mustard, and tea, according to the Sun paper. It has been noted that all products were thoroughly tested before preparation.
