According to Daniel Taylor:
"England's players stayed at the £500-a-night Auberge du Jeu de Paume, a hotel with two Michelin stars that is described as 'the epitome of French finesse and art de vivre' but there was still a complaint on the first night that the duvets could be plumper."The players were also reportedly fed canned lines for media interviews, and their stuffed lion, which individual players took turns carrying, had it's own accreditation. It's clear Taylor was not impressed:
"No team bar England has a set of players who are given their lines, like homework, before interviews instead of being trusted to talk for themselves. Nobody else has made one of Euro 2016's training grounds look like a woodland prison, surrounded by 7ft-high fences, police lookouts and flying drones."
