With the likes of goalkeeper and captain Jack Butland, winger Nathan Redmond, set-piece expert James Ward-Prowse and strikers Saido Berahino and Danny Ings appearing in front of the camera, you can now watch the video above to see which message and football skill was matched to each player.

Teenage Cancer Trust were The FA’s Charity Partner since the start of 2013 and this month saw their spell come to an end after a fruitful 18 months.
In that time, they were involved in last year’s FA150 celebrations and raised a total of over £460,000 through the partnership, which smashed the initial target of £300,000.
Highlights of the partnership included the England v Scotland match in August 2013 at Wembley Stadium. Dubbed the Teenage Cancer Trust international, the sold-out match not only raised money but boosted the charity’s profile with a short film played at half-time.
Club England and Wembley have also given young cancer patients once-in-a-lifetime experiences such as meeting the England team, enjoying hospitality at England matches and receiving tickets to a range of concerts.
And England Manager Roy Hodgson paid a visit to patients in a Teenage Cancer Trust unit at University College Hospital in London, along with Ray Lewington and Gareth Southgate.
The money raised from the partnership will now go towards providing more hours of specialist care by teenage cancer experts in Teenage Cancer Trust units in NHS hospitals across the UK, as well as towards the construction of a new specialist Teenage Cancer Trust unit in Bristol which officially opened earlier this year.
A new FA Charity Partner will be announced in due course.
Southgate's squad will meet again this weekend as they prepare for their Euro qualifiers against Lithuania and Moldova in early September.
