Good Morning from Bloomberg, London.

The Three Lions (British crest for the uniformed) roared yesterday in a 2-1 victory! England won its opening match against Tunisia on two goals by team captain Harry Kane. No team in the World Cup gets more publicity than England, no nation has a longer history with the game and no fan base suffers disappointment on such a consistent and predictable basis. Here’s hoping England continues to roar into the next round.

As if Europe didn’t have enough issues already without being bullied, Donald Trump lashes out at Angela Merkel over immigrants overnight.

But fear not for European democracy, if you happened to look up over London yesterday you might have seen a Spitfire in the sky, the iconic airplane that epitomized English fighting spirit during the darkest times of the Battle of Britain. Scroll to the bottom to see photos of the brave aviator.
