Facts
- England, the cradle of the modern game, took part in the FIFA
World Cup finals for the first time in 1950. Despite winning their
opening game against Chile, they lost to the USA and Spain and
packed their bags after the first round. In 1954, England lost to
Uruguay in the quarter-finals, and in 1962 they fell at the same
stage to the eventual world champions Brazil.
- England's glory came in the 1966 FIFA World Cup, on home turf.
Football's inventors were crowned world champions for the first and
only time after a 4-2 win against Germany in the final. Geoff Hurst
scored a hat-trick in the match.
- Since then, England have not progressed beyond the semi-finals.
In 1990 they reached the last four but were eliminated by the
eventual champions Germany in a penalty shoot-out.
