Description  

No team carries the weight of history into a World Cup quite like England. From their self-imposed exile at the tournament's inception to the glorious summer of 1966 and the decades of anguish that followed, England's World Cup story is not just one of wins and losses, but of national identity, public expectation, and global spectacle.

England Expects is a gripping, meticulously researched narrative of every England men's World Cup campaign from 1950 to 2022, exploring the triumphs, traumas, tactics, and turning points that have defined the nation's quest for football's ultimate prize. Alongside the key matches and managerial decisions, this book also dives into the pressure from the media, the pain of penalty shootouts, and the culture of the travelling England fan-placing the Three Lions at the heart of football's most compelling tournament.

With special chapters on the rise of the Lionesses, evolving tactical systems, iconic kits, and the symbolic power of the armband, this is a complete and compelling chronicle of how England's World Cup dream has endured across generations-fuelled by glory, haunted by near misses, and kept alive by unshakable belief.
