Caption This: Harry Kane and the England squad train with Royal Marines

England manager Gareth Southgate takes training a bit more seriously than we thought. Southgate surprised his national team, which included Tottenham Hotspur players Harry Kane, Kieran Trippier, Kyle Walker, and Dele Alli, by ambushing them and forcing them to train with the Royal Marines for two days in the wilderness as part of a team building exercise. (Eric Dier missed all the fun as he doesn’t join the team until later this week.)

Southgate gathered his players and support staff in one of the national football centre’s dressing rooms, where a member of the Royal Marines informed them that they would immediately relocate to Devon for the next 48 hours.

Upon arrival at the training centre, which is located between Exeter and Exmouth, the group immediately changed into their ‘rig’ – or, for the uninitiated, military training uniforms.

The following days would see them experience an array of activities that Royal Marines recruits undertake, including a night camping on Woodbury Common.

Those photos of national team players “roughing it” in the English countryside are great, but my favorite by far is this one below, which shows several players receiving instructions from a Royal Marine instructor while dressed in full combat fatigues.
