THE case against the England fan who berated the players after wandering into the team’s dressing room after Friday’s World Cup match with Algeria was adjourned yesterday.

Pavlos Joseph, 32, from Crystal Palace, south-east London, appeared at a special World Cup court in Cape Town. But the case was adjourned until Friday when he will go on trial.

At the court appearance, he was banned from attending future World Cup matches and released on 500 rand (€53) bail.
