Frank Lampard is bracing himself for his 36th birthday Friday after the England midfielder saw one of the teams staff members receive his gift. It was one of the masseurs 50th birthday today, so we strapped him and volleyed a few balls at him, as us mature boys do, and thats it. Its light-hearted, Lampard said Tuesday. Thats how it is. You have to have that. Were away a long time. You have to have your moments. Masseur Paul Smalls birthday treat was captured by striker Daniel Sturridge: instagram/p/pWvQKgHNX1/ PORTO ALEGRE, Brazil - Anderson Goncalves Rodrigues was probably the only person not busy rooting for Brazil. Screaming with delight, waving his green jersey above his head, he ran wild-eyed and whooping. He had just had his jersey signed by France striker Olivier Giroud and midfielder Paul Pogba at Tuesdays training, where around a dozen or so fans were invited to attend the otherwise closed-doors session. He didnt even mind that Brazil was playing Mexico at exactly the same time as France was training at Botafogos Santa Cruz stadium in Ribeirao Preto. I dont care if I missed the Brazilian game, he said through a translator. I would have waited for the French players outside, but the security let me in. And now I have an autograph from Pogba! As it turns out, he didnt miss a great deal, anyway, because Brazil was held 0-0 by Mexico. - By Jerome Pugmire -/jeromepugmire ___
