Signature moment
Three Lions. 1966. Wembley. England hoisting the only World Cup they've ever won, in their own backyard, against West Germany. It happened. It was real. And England fans have been dining out on it — and haunted by it — for going on six decades. Every tournament since has been measured against that one golden afternoon, which is either inspiring or the most elaborate sports curse in history, depending on how you look at it.
The ones to watch
- Jude BellinghamMFThe guy who seems to have been engineered in a lab specifically to score dramatic goals at tournaments England have no business winning.
- Harry KaneFWEngland's all-time top scorer who has somehow never won a major trophy, which means his arc is either heartbreaking or about to get very redemptive.
- Phil FodenMFThe kind of player who makes you feel like you're watching football slightly differently than everyone else — effortless, creative, and chronically underrated by casual fans.
- Bukayo SakaFWMissed the penalty that broke England's hearts in Euro 2021, came back four years later and became one of the most important players in the squad — that's a comeback story within the comeback story.
- Jordan PickfordGKSomehow chaotic and clutch at the same time, which is very on-brand for an England goalkeeper.
One email the morning of their opener. Nothing else.
