The World Cup is the most prestigious event in the footballing world and as England fans it's pretty fair to say that we've been starved of success. The Three Lions one and only tournament victory came back in 1966, which feels like an absolute age ago for fans up and down the country. Geoff Hurst's heroic hat-trick at the old Wembley is something remembered fondly but hopefully it's just a matter of time before we can celebrate something again.
The current crop of England players are currently in the midst of a World Cup run and the nation are firmly behind them after recording a big victory over Tunisia on match day one. Harry Kane's brace - coupled with several big nations underperforming - has got the fans dreaming that maybe, just maybe, this could be our year. We always get sucked onto the hype train and hopefully this is the year that footballs coming home!
Russia 2018 is England's 15th appearance at the World Cup finals and over the years they've taken on some of the biggest nations on the planet.
