Sports fan Mark Thompson has spent £400 transforming his living room into a football stadium. Mark, 45,and his 55-year-old wife Karen decked out their lounge with England emblem wallpaper, erected a towering stadium mural, festooned it with St George flags and marked out their green carpet with a six-yard box and penalty spot. The project features three false walls, including one covering the entire front window, a painted crowd of spectators and flags and bunting extending into a St George-themed gazebo in the back garden.
Living room now and before the change
Now the sports-crazy couple, who have been together for twelve years and have three grown-up children between them, are looking forward to holding a host of World Cup parties as friends and family round to watch the tournament over the next month, with food themed to each country the Three Lions are taking on.
Joiner Mark, who has lived in the house in Oldham, Greater Manchester for the past twelve years, said: 'The neighbours just keep laughing and they think it's really cool, all the young kids too. I'm a hero on our street. 'We're going to be watching all the games at our house. We've got a theme for every match. We're doing a food theme for each one. We're having burgers for the USA match then curries for Algeria then goulashes for the Slovenia game.
Where are you watching this wold cup?
