England players had 36 hours off in KC; here's how some spent the World Cup break

England players had 36 hours off in Kansas City (KC) after a demanding World Cup Round-of-16 match, using the break to rest and reset. After a 3-2 win over Mexico in Mexico City, which included England defending with 10 men for the final 40 minutes following a red card, the squad arrived early Monday and went straight to their hotel in Prairie Village. Forward Morgan Rogers said the team was exhausted because they had played many minutes throughout the season and the tournament. According to The Times, coach Thomas Tuchel granted free time until 11 p.m. Tuesday, effectively creating a roughly 36-hour rest window. Some players relaxed by swimming at the Inn at Meadowbrook, visiting Legoland Discovery Center and Sea Life, and eating barbecue at Joe’s Kansas City. Others golfed at Oakwood Country Club or biked around Prairie Village, with at least one sighting involving Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
