When you go to Target, which section do you visit first? I’m curious. Personally, I love the arts and crafts aisles. @hfrpstarters​

I think I have only been once to target when I visited America, and I’m not going to lie i didn’t know where to begin or where to find anything so i just browsed around the aisles. I’m awful at arts and crafts so that is an aisle i probably wouldn’t take to well, but i can understand on why you love it.

now try to make a photoshoot in the middle of the dessert wearing a racing suit. i had to shoot some stuff for BMW earlier this year and i swear i almost die. can you train with a scarf? i’d be afraid of choking myself or something. is this your first world cup? i’m still a work in progress when it comes to football but at least i’ve learnt it’s not soccer. i had to the hard way cause i felt like if my bestie was about to strangle me each time i called it that. anyways, hey that’s one smart move. i made my mom meet daniel craig earlier this month and said it was going to be christmas gift but she said that wasn’t a real gift… joke on me. congrats on winning your opening game. i know it was a “easy” rival but there are no easy rivals, just rivals. Next game is against us, are you nervous? I’m Madelyn, nice to meet you, Dec. is there any particular rival you’d die to play against? i’ve only recently started following the sport but one of my favorite parts is when one scores a goal and they make some celebration dance, i’ve been trying for months to make my friend Jesse dedicate me a goal but he is an asshole so clearly won’t make me happy.

Wow yeah its bad enough in the England kit, let alone mixing up with leather. You can train with a scar, they’re special ones that look like turtle necks. I will have to agree with your friend its football, not soccer. See if I met Daniel Craig I would think it was Christmas too. Thank you, I agree we don’t think there are easy rivals. We just go into a game wanting to win, I love playing against Germany, giving the history and rivalry between our teams. Really? That doesn’t sound like Jesse usually he would be right up for doing a dance celebration. Give me a while I will get him to do it. It’s really Nice to meet you Madelyn.

have you ever tried washing your kit with uv protective laundry aid? when i was filming Dune 2 on the desert in Jordan, our wardrobe department had all of my outfits washed with it and it totally helped a little. so the rays don’t get you under flimsy clothes and you don’t have to lather yourself with sunscreen all over, hah. i have no idea about football, i know horribly shameful for an english lass but congrats on the tournament and i hope it goes well for you and the team. winning the tournament is nice but ordering something from Amazon and having them gift wrap it for you is a great plan B if plan A fails for whatever reason. nice to meet you, dec, I’m florence. 

We don’t wash our kits but I might have to speak to the kit man on that idea. It’s not so bad when we’re playing game as we have vapour shirts so the air gets to them better than the replicas shirts. But I like that idea of uv protective laundry aid. I hope we win and if you need any tips or want to know about the game hit me up, I love to talk about football. I will keep in Amazon, had to use that before one year for my dads birthday I was away, thank god for prime service. Really nice to meet you Florence.

“Am I right to guess….. soccer? I would imagine it can literally be life or death at times and I know that’s a bit morbid but with staying hydrated and working so hard….

And here I go sounding like a mother, have you been wearing any sun cream? Sorry sorry! What hot country is it if you don’t mind sharing? That’s incredible that you get to do this with them, it must bring you all the more closer. The best gift in my humble opinion. I’m Bethany Joy, it’s a pleasure to meet you Dec.”

“You’ll be right...but I have to say its football...It feels like it sometimes, we have these big fans that blast cold air at us, that we tend to all stand in front after training it is a gruelling time to say the least. 

I have been wearing sun cream, thank you for your concern though! Its Doha where the tournament is, so it’s very hot despite it not being ‘the summer months’. It is amazing to share this expierance with the family especially after the support they gave me growing up, i just hope we can pull it off. Nice to meet you Bethany Joy! 

after yesterday the world cup is a sensitive topic over here. that doesn’t surprise me though, not sure who was the mastermind who thought it was fun to play in such conditions… i feel like before the tournament ends i’ll be sick cause you enter the stadium and it’s frozen, you go out and melt and same with hotels and malls. congrats for the win by the way! who is the friend you are talking about? now i’m curious. it’s the perfect gift, yeah… but i’m hoping you lose. not for england but only cause there can’t be two winners and i want Argentina to win. I’m Valu, pleasure to meet you. Also, if you stumble across a dude that goes by Mason Mount tell him Valentina said hi.

Ah yes, the tournament can be a very cruel game. I honestly don’t know but i don’t think they thought it through. The stadium air conditioning is great but too cold but if we didn’t have them on it would be too hot there is just no happy medium. Wow way to knock a man down, i pretend that doesn’t sting. Argentina is a good team to go against. They have Messi one of the best footballers around. Nice to meet you Valu. I’ve known Mason for years I have the pleasure of seeing him everyday at the moment so i will be sure to say Hello for you.

with that translucent complexion & irish blood? i’d say you’re a burns risk, for sure. i hope you’re listening to your mum, dec, it won’t translate well on tv if you win the trophy looking like the human embodiment of patrick star. jealous about the situation, not so jealous about the weather. something about holiday weather and the run up to christmas doesn’t mix, i like to be on the verge of freezing — so ‘m enjoying cheering you on in the comfort of my sweats & several blankets. i’m just going to let you know right now, declan, if you return from the world cup with nothing but the title, i’m going to going to be fuming. i want a selection box, at least.

I am listening to mum, when I saw her after the game the other day before I even said hello she was lecturing me about factor fifty. Patrick star is a legend I think I could pull him off. We miss you out here mate not going to lie, I mean even Rashford said he felt his was missing his Robin. I will agree being in this hot weather at this time of year, it should be Christmas market season. Wow you really are showing your age now, blankets? We will try our very best to bring it home and I will make sure you will get a selection box on Christmas.

I’m so easy to burn, my mother’s the exact same way! I’m on vacation in the Maldives right now and she’s constantly making sure I’ve got plenty of sunscreen and I’m not gonna be coming home looking like a lobster. Which do you prefer training in though? A hat and a scarf or shorts and vest tops? I’d probably be the latter because I get too hot, too easily and I wanna be as cool as I can when I’m working out. I think winning’ll be a good enough gift! Your family’ll be happy about it, yanno? Pleasure to meet you! I’m Sunmi.

It must be a mother thing, but I guess being in the hot weather it is expected. You should have seen me last summer I was red on my arms but where I was wearing my shirt completely pale. It was an awful tan that year. I don’t mind, sometimes I like training in a scarf, any weather I don’t mind training in, I love playing on the field. I hope we win, All the support my parents gave me over the time it would pay off if we did win it. Nice to meet you Sunmi!

I’ve seen photos and footage and whatnot, and I still can’t quite believe they decided to host the World Cup in the middle of the desert. I’m just glad I don’t have to run around and exercise in that kind of heat. But hey, rather that than being freezing cold right? Trust me, you’re better off over there. I’ve been in London the past week and the weather is not pleasant as you can imagine. Oh that is adorable. I can’t help but to think that whatever game I’m watching… Like all you boys.. We get to see everyone’s dreams come true, no matter where you’re from or how well you do. Everyone are there cause they’ve earned it and worked their way there — it’s amazing. So congratulations on your dreams coming true. You must be over the moon. How could anyone blame you for not getting your gifts done in time if you come home with a trophy? I think you would be all settled. Even without it, I doubt anyone would give you a hard time for no presents. Pleasure meeting you Dec — I’m Cindy.

I know and this time of year its suppose to be less hotter than if it was in the summer months, But honestly I don’t know what they were thinking choosing the middle of a desert. London weather can be hit and miss very much so especially in the winter, i prefer the city in the summer but I guess it makes a change, we’re usually playing in rain this time of year. Oh of course those that have been selected for their country are the best of the best, I mean some miss out which is heartbreaking but unfortunately we can only have twenty six men squad but its something I will never take for granted. Hopefully we get the trophy but if not I guess coming out to support me was a gift right? Nice to meet you Cindy! Did you enjoy London other than the horrible British weather?

I one hundred percent need you and the team to go all the way, thanks.  Though, I do have to say being a dual citizen of England and America now, I almost feel weird picking one team over the other.  I can’t help but go back to my roots with England though. 

We will try our very best to go all the way, its what we want to achieve. We was so close in our last major tournament that it was heartbreaking when we lost out at penalties. It must be hard to choose especially if your are a dual citizen. But either way we are thankful from any support.

what’s your go - to christmas meal dish , then ? i’ve been salivating thinking about all the carbs i’m going to consume after the obligatory fasting . that’s a good one , and i think you’re right – hard to turn that one down ! ah , best of luck ! my family doesn’t do too much as far as traditional hanukkah festivities , but we keep all the food and dreidel games year to year . my gran likes to try to win all the prizes my mom picks out every year .

oh it will have to be my mums roast dinner. turkey, stuffing all the trimmings all the way. how long have you got to fast for? its a classic song, one of the best, a go to karaoke at a christmas party. party games as a family is a best, you always have someone kick off but its all good fun in the end.
