Heading into the FIFA World Cup 2026 tournament, England fans had high hopes that their team could go all the way and finally get their hands on the glittering gold trophy, even though they’ve had to endure sixty years of hurt.
After topping their group, following two wins against Croatia and Panama and a draw with Ghana, the Three Lions have ousted DR Congo, co-hosts Mexico at the Azteca, and Norway in extra-time, during the knockout stages.
