Members of the squad, including Arsenal's Jack Wilshere and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, were seen clutching the £370 state-of-the-art consoles as they touched down at Luton Airport this afternoon. The consoles - and hopefully a copy of soccer video game FIFA 14 so they can brush up on their skills - were handed out as part of a sponsorship deal with the XBox manufacturer Microsoft.
Thug spared jail for repeatedly battering his girlfriend in the face is free to go AGAIN by the same magistrates after attacking his new partner
Toby Hayden, 28, from Chippenham, Wiltshire, (left) sparked outrage when escaped with just community order after leaving his ex-lover Loretta Butterworth, 22, (right and inset) covered in blood following a vicious beating. Just 12 months on from the first attack, the labourer has been hauled in front of Chippenham Magistrates' Court again after assaulting his current girlfriend Amy Weaver, 27. Both times he was serving a sentence for a previous offence, but on each occasion, the court decided not to send the serial criminal to jail.

Mother-of-three moves house for the 56th time in 10 years...and here's her list of reasons for moving
Vanda James, 54, travelled as far away as New Zealand in her attempts to escape homes ridden with mould, slugs and amorous housemates, but has ended up back in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, where she started. She left her home on nine years (top right) in Great Yarmouth in 2001 to begin her extensive journey to locations all over the UK and beyond (map inset bottom) - but has mainly stuck to locations in East Anglia including Worlingham, Suffolk (top left), Great Glenham, Suffolk (bottom left) and her favoured Great Yarmouth (bottom right).
PHONE HACKING TRIAL
Cameron's hacking humiliation complete as trial judge lashes him for 'ill advised' comments about Coulson guilty verdict - as jury fails to reach decision on final charges
Justice Saunders said he was 'very concerned' about the comments the Prime Minister made after his former spin doctor was found guilty of plotting to hack phones at the News of the World. Yesterday, Mr Cameron led the way in what the judge described as 'open season' by immediately offering a public apology for hiring Coulson in 2007 while verdicts were pending on four other charges. The Prime Minister also said that Coulson had lied to him about his knowledge of hacking, which was 'capable of affecting Mr Coulson's credibility in their (the jury's) eyes', the judge said.
Cameron accused of 'wilful negligence' for ignoring warnings about taking Coulson into Downing Street
Was this the moment Luis Suarez tried to bite the SAME Italian player a YEAR ago? Pictures reveal disgraced striker's previous 'attack' on World Cup victim as he faces two-year FIFA ban
Luis Suárez was playing for Uruguay in the closing minutes of the group stage clash when footage appeared to show him biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini. Live footage of the match in Natal's Arena das Dunas showed the controversial forward's mouth colliding with Chiellini's shoulder before an outraged Chiellini hit the floor and clutched his shoulder (top left) - with Suárez clutching his teeth (bottom left). Chiellini then showed what appeared to be a bite mark. Just 14 months ago Suárez apologised for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic in a Premier League match, while in 2010 while playing for Ajax he drew blood from the shoulder of a PSV Eindhoven player.
Misery of the families living in a cul-de-sac that's been stuck next to a stinking 18,000-ton waste mountain for THREE YEARS
A 40ft mountain of waste has towered over a well-kept street in St Paul's Cray, in Bromley, south-east London (pictured main). The pile is at a waste disposal site which the Environment Agency says is breaching regulations. Residents have had to put up with this mountain of stinking rubbish at the end of the road for the past three years - with many not able to open their windows or sit out in their gardens because of the overpowering stench. Alan Cowburn, 74, who has lived there since 1971, said that it was a 'nightmare' that had driven down house prices on the street.

They're here! Glastonbury's welly-wearing army march on Somerset field as festival gates open... but downpours are on the way
Carrying tents and pushing wheel barrows, thousands of music fans began piling through the ticket gates into the 1,200-acre Somerset site ahead of the festivities. Queues have started to lengthen and traffic has started to build up as a steady stream of revellers began turning up. Many arrived with their raincoats and umbrellas packed, but forecasters have suggested they could become essential attire by the weekend with heavy rain forecast, while organisers have warned that the site could become 'quite muddy'. This year's festival sees Metallica, Kasabian and Arcade Fire headline the Pyramid Stage, alongside the likes of Lily Allen, Dolly Parton and the Pixies.
THE WORLD AT A GLANCE
At least 21 dead after massive bomb blast tears through Nigerian mall as people prepared to watch their soccer team play in World Cup leaving body parts scattered and blood everywhere
The blast in an upmarket district of Abuja, Nigeria's capital, happened just an hour before the national football team's group stage clash in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Witnesses said body parts were scattered near the Emab Plaza as black smoke could be seen from a mile away and surrounding buildings shook. No one has yet claimed responsibility but the attack bore hallmarks of the radical Islamist group Boko Haram, which has a stronghold in the north east of Nigeria and was responsible for the kidnapping of more than 200 schoolgirls.
