Rock group Duran Duran paid a surprise visit to see the England Women's U20 team during the Santiago leg of their latest tour.

Simon Le Bon and his world-famous band, famous for songs such as Rio, Notorious and A View to a Kill, dropped in at the team hotel to wish them luck. England are preparing to face the USA in the Quarter-Finals of the World Cup in Chillan on Sunday night.

Some of the U20s staff met members of the band at a football match in Chile whilst they were preparing for their gig in the city.

Frontman Le Bon asked to meet the team and turned up at the hotel to offer the girls his support.

He spent time with Mo Marley's side and posed for piictures with the team and staff. You can watch the video of their meeting by clicking the link above.

After a last-gasp draw against New Zealand in their final group game, thanks to Toni Duggan's wonderful strike, England now play the USA on Sunday night kicking off at 10.00pm GMT. The game will be screened live on Eurosport.
