The boredom was so great that Defoe recalls how he spent one evening in his room with Wayne Rooney, watching a DVD of the former Manchester United captain's wedding.
"When we were in South Africa, I remember one night I was bored, so me and Wayne Rooney sat in his room and watched his whole wedding on DVD," Defoe said.
"It was nice to spend quality time with a teammate.
"Wayne had something like a flash mob. The waiters were singing, dancing... It was good because he was my strike-partner."
Defoe scored the only goal in England's final group game against Slovenia in South Africa, enough to clinch their place in the knockout stages in South Africa where they were beaten by Germany.
England are based in the village of Repino in Russia this summer, situated around 30 miles from the city of St. Petersburg. Given it's likely to be quiet in the area, let's hope those that are part of the squad have a few wedding DVDs to pass the time.Explore more on these topics:
