Nico O'Reilly's tattoos - from Manchester dialling code to four word message Nico O'Reilly has his life mapped out in tattoos seen at the first England training session. He has body art bearing the message: "The World is Yours," for his first ever World Cup Rising England star Nico O'Reilly has his life mapped out in tattoos seen at the team's first training session in Kansas. On his right shoulder, he has body art bearing the message: "The World is Yours," which could be a good sign for his first ever World Cup. Just below is the message: "Everything is possible for those who believe." His right arm also carries the inked advice "Stay Humble" while his left shoulder has the two finger peace sign. A signpost marks the way to 'Dreams' on one side and 'Reality' on the other. The young midfielder, who is likely to play left back for England, was enjoying his first training session in Kansas City just two hours before a Tornado struck in the area. The tattoo, No. 1, is underneath with the words 'No Ball Games', a common sight in Manchester where Nico, 21, plays for City. He also has a tattoo of the Manchester dialling code 0161. Asked about his first impressions of the team's base in Kansas, he said: "Togetherness. It is a really great group and we have bonded. I think you will see that on the pitch." Teammate Dan Burn, 34, at his first World Cup, said he was making the most of every minute. "Brotherhood, the manager has spoken a lot about that," he said. "It is a big thing. "First and foremost, we have top-quality players and one of the best forwards in the World in Harry Kane. "I feel like this is the type of tournament where players who are normally stars for their clubs are going to have to take a slightly different role. “That's leaning into that brotherhood thing again, where we are just happy for each other and happy to help out as much as we can.” Pam Kramer is CEO of KC2026, the World Cup Organising Committee. She said they had been "thrilled" to welcome England. She added: "The fact that Kansas City was selected as a base camp destination for England, Argentina, the Netherlands and Algeria speaks to the strength of our soccer culture and decades of investment in the game. "This summer is about more than matches. "It's an opportunity to showcase a region that is welcoming, and ready to host the world."
