Is a poppadom and a mark in the grass a good omen for England?

An England football fan says she's sure that ‘It’s coming home!’ after accidentally running a World Cup-shaped route around the city.

There's also a strange mark in the grass on the Knavesmire too.

Writer and keen runner Téba Diatta set off on half marathon around the city on Tuesday (July 10) – and when she checked the route on a map she realised it resembled the famous gold trophy.

She sent us this photo of her phone after the run.

It's not the only sign she has had.

“I then had a curry to refuel and my poppadom snapped off to resemble the World Cup trophy again,”

I'm hoping it's a sign of good things to come" She joked. "Well you never know lets hope so"

Téba grew up in the Leeman Road area of York, and founded the charity Running For Life, which provides children in Senegal with educational facilities.

She was also part of the #TeamRough supporters who took part in the Great North Run in memory of Katie Rough.

She is a massive football fan was supporting both Senegal and England.

Her charity work began when she ran more than 200 miles from York to London to raise money for a library in a very poor area of Senegal, meeting lots of players from previous England squads in the process.

These included Wayne Rooney (main picture)  Ashley Cole and Frank Lampard.
