Exactly what was written on Jordan Pickford’s water bottle cheat sheet in yesterday’s game

Exactly what was written on Jordan Pickford’s water bottle cheat sheet in yesterday’s game

Jordan Pickford's water bottle held all the secrets to winning the match

What was written on Jordan Pickford’s water bottle cheat sheet is on everyone’s lips, and who can blame them?

Last night (6 July) was an amazing feat for the Three Lions, who went on to land a 5-3 win against Switzerland and will now be heading off to the Semi-Finals to hash it out against the Netherlands.

The Euro 2024 footy match was better than expected as England ramped up its efforts to secure their spot, having previously played pretty poorly.

But it’s what was on goalie Jordan Pickford's water bottle that potentially stole the show.

Now, the team are going to hopefully keep the same spirit for their next game on Wednesday (10 July).

But will another water bottle be hiding somewhere?

Hopefully he’ll use his water bottle throughout so we don’t have another blunder like when he muddled it up with Fabian Schar.

But for last night's winner, England’s number 1 had all the secrets noted down.

Instagram users have praised his use of the water bottle and even got in a few jokes in the comment section about how his use of the drink would have got them kicked out of GCSEs.

One user wrote: “The bottle performed better than most of the players in this match," as another said: “But when I did this for my GCSEs they took my water bottle away.”

As England are set to take on the Netherlands next week, fans just can't help but get their hopes up for a much-needed victory on 14 July.

Not only will there be the total joy and satisfaction for England finally winning after that crushing day back in 2021, but there will also be quite the pretty pay packet for the Lions.

If we do finally get to see it come home and Harry Kane and the lads lift that trophy, the FA will receive a whopping £24 million – and the squad has negotiated a decent share of it.

The (already massively paid) players will share a pot that adds up to a mega £9.6 million.

And Mr Southgate himself will get a very, very happy payday with a nice £4 million bonus.
