England faced their final friendly on home soil Friday, beating Peru 3-0. Sunday afternoon they prepared to fly to America for their final friendlies and preparation before the 2014 World Cup. Things didn't quite go to plan when they were boarding the plane today, though. United Kingdom comedian, Lee Nelson, who is known for pulling stunts, tried to board with them. 

The comedy star was famously arrested for running on the field in Manchester City soccer gear and trying to train with them without authorization. He tried to pull off a similar, yet braver stunt. He failed, though. Nelson was taken away by security guards and police offers, and after previous offences, one would think he will face some sort of deterring punishment this time around. 

The comedian enjoyed a period of fame in 2012, but has since faded in to the background, which explains his apparent need to attempt to get in to the limelight at every opportunity. 

If this is the biggest problem England have to deal with in the coming weeks then they will certainly have a good tournament. The togetherness in this squad seems like none before, with the players smiling and laughing at this prank, whereas previous squads were known for their moody nature and inability to enjoy themselves. 

How will England fair in the United States, and more importantly how will they do in Brazil? Will Lee Nelson pull of another prank, and could he make his way to the World Cup to do so, or was sneaking on the flight his best chance of doing just that?
