Wayne Rooney's wife Coleen and their two sons Kai and Klay were all smiles as they jetted out to Brazil today to cheer on England in the World Cup.
The
trio were spotted at Manchester airport with the rest of the Rooney
clan as they prepared to fly out ahead of England's crunch clash against
Uruguay on Thursday.
Despite
Wayne and his teammates losing 2-1 to Italy at the weekend, Coleen
looked hopeful of a long stay as she was accompanied by 15 pieces of
luggage.
Excited: Coleen Rooney leads her family through Manchester airport to catch a flight to Brazil for the World Cup
Family trip: Coleen brought her sons Kai and Klay and some other relatives to support her husband Wayne Rooney
Her
travel outfit was smart yet casual, opting for a white blazer with
black top, faded grey skinny jeans, and finished off with some coloured
gem sandals.
Their arrival might bring some good luck to Wayne, after England lost 2-1 in their opening game.
Big load: The family brought along around 15 suitcases as Coleen said she'll be staying for the whole campaign
Defender: The mother-of-two has been taking on
Twitter trolls who have criticised her husband's performance in the
England v Italy game
Many
took to Twitter to comment on what they thought was a dismal
performance by one of the most experienced players in the squad, though
he was put out of position to make room for Liverpool’s Raheem Sterling.
Coleen
wasn’t letting any online trolls get away with the criticism directed
at her and her husband, often tweeting profanity to deal with some
overzealous haters.
The
family weren’t able to be in Rio for the first match, but the mother of
two guarantees she’ll be cheering Wayne on throughout their campaign,
however long that may be.
Good luck: No doubt Wayne will be hoping his
family's presence will spur him on and not let the critics mess with his
head on the pitch
Mascot: Kai wore an England kit with matching Nike trainers and his father's number on the back
Matching: Baby Klay also sported an England kit and his daddy's number
'We're off!': Coleen shared a cute picture of her and her boys on their way to Brazil
England’s
next game arrives on Thursday, where they’ll be taking on Group D
rivals Uruguay, who also lost their first game, to Costa Rica 3-1.
Since
1953, the national team has won three, drawn three, and lost four games
against the South American side, and so far only three teams in the
last century have ended up overall winners after losing their first
match.
The England v Uruguay game will take place at the Arena de Sao Paulo, and kicks off at 8pm.
