Russell Goldstein added to his England caps at the weekend when he featured twice for the Three Lions’ futsal side in two friendlies against Poland.

Despite losing both games 3-1 and 5-4, he said: “I was proud and excited to be selected for England again and was a great advert for the game, with it being televised. I felt both the team and myself played well and put in good performances in both games, but we were disappointed not to get a result.

“We’ve learnt a lot from playing a strong Poland team who have recently got results against Italy and Portugal and qualified for the Euros.”

While the international season is now finished, Goldstein’s isn’t as he’s still involved in the FA Cup with Helvecia FC.
