England's on their way: Following qualification campaign to USA 2026 and the 20 years before that

In the Summer of 2026, England's football team will have suffered 60 years of hurt. The home of football, the Country where football was invented, the Country with the richest and most watched domestic league won't have won a trophy in 6 decades since that solitary major trophy in 1966. Yet there are a hardy few thousand people that follow the Three Lions around the World, often watching poor football, spending their disposable income, using up their annual leave, getting castigated by the media being looked upon suspiciously as 'hooligans' by those back home. Why do they do it? What possible reason is there for travelling to watch games against Andorra or San Marino or to places like Belarus or Moldova? Why would you attend tournaments when history tells you England will fail once more. The 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign started in Autumn 2024. This book follows those qualifiers, home and away as England try and reach the World Cup and then end the 60 years of hurt. Not only does the author explain the highs and lows of this recent qualifying campaign, but also the preceding 20 years of doing the same thing. From Brazil to South Africa to Serbia to Lithuania and more. England away. The best hobby in the World?
