WORLD CLASS PHOTOS OF THE WORLD CUP

We are tremendously fortunate to have a fabulous team of photographers out in Crete, giving you so many wonderful images of the action.

Our team is always there, lenses ready, to capture as much of the flavour of the tournament. Not just on the pitch, but off it too, as the whole of Crete goes football crazy.

The matches themselves are about halfway through and the group standings are becoming ever-clearer ahead of the knockout stages beginning on Friday afternoon.

In case you’ve missed some of them, here are just a few things that have caught our eye over the last few days.

There will be more, no doubt as the action hots up ahead of the final.
