The FIFA World Cup 2018 fever has caught on people and how. Fans are going frenzy over the twists in the game. But one fan from England kept his promise as England entered the semifinals after scoring against Sweden. Matt Benton had said before the quarter-final clash that he would get Harry Maguire's face tattooed on his chest if the defender scored. While Maguire scored in the first half, Benton has stayed true his words and got the tattoo made. He posted the picture on Twitter, and it caught Maguire's attention too.
After scoring against Sweden, England has gone to the first World Cup semi-final in 28 years. The excitement is naturally high among all the football fans and the famous lyric 'Football's coming home' is all over social media. Matt Benton too was among the crazy fans and put up a bet to get his chest tattooed. Harry Maguire was impressed with Benton and said he would arrange to send him a signed shirt from the squad. A few days ago another fan got a tattoo of 'Football's Coming Home' over his bum, over a bet his friend had given him. So the fans are ready to go lengths to prove their fandom towards the game.
Take a look at Matt Benton's tattoo on the chest of Harry Maguire's face:
