英格兰
How they qualified With great difficulty and much anguish, despite not losing a game and scoring more goals than Spain and France put together. World Cup high Geoff Hurst still hasn’t had to buy his own pint since 1966. Roger Hunt probably has, though. World Cup low Not qualifying in 1974, 1978 and 1994 was pretty bad, but for nation-defining collapse, you can’t beat the 1-0 defeat to Ellis Island in 1950. Familiar faces Take your pick. Wayne, Stevie G, Frank, Theo, Ashley, Welbz ... um, who invited Jonjo? The manager Roy Hodgson: just one of those regular blokes who takes the Tube and tells jokes at half-time, and hardly ever has to regret it. How in danger is he? 8/10 Most likely to light up Brazil Rickie Lambert. OK, probably not, but tell the truth: the thought amused you, didn’t it? Most likely to be sent home in disgrace John Terry, after smuggling himself into the cargo hold and turning up for England’s first training session in freshly-ironed kit. Title odds: 25/1 The stereotype is … Pampered, overpaid prima donnas who choke under pressure and boot the ball long at every opportunity. The reality is ... Pampered, overpaid prima donnas who choke under pressure and boot the ball long at every opportunity, and Andros Townsend. What are they known for? Bagpuss 38 per cent Prog rock 35 per cent The Shipping Forecast 19 per cent Playing Paul Scholes on the left eight per cent How Brazilian are they? In terms of size, weather, geography, economy or temperament, not very much. In terms of football, though ... not very much. How Google translates the national anthem (into Portuguese) Deus salve a nossa rainha gracioso, vida longa a nossa nobre rainha, deus salve a rainha. Duration Long enough for some nitwit to shout “No surrender to the IRA”. How to dress like their fans Head-to-toe Jacamo for the guys, baggy T-shirt and jeans for the girls. Commentator's go-to stat The last man to score for England in a World Cup match? Matthew Upson against Germany, although Frank Lampard was hard done by.

晋级之路 英格兰队的晋级之路充满艰辛,但他们仍取得了不败的骄人战绩,进球数量超过西班牙队和法国队的总和。 世界杯高光时刻 作为1966年世界杯英格兰夺冠功臣, 吉奥夫·赫斯特自从1966年后喝酒就再也没掏过一分钱,不过罗杰·亨特应该还是要自己掏钱。 世界杯最低谷 1974年、1978年和1994年三度丧失世界杯参赛资格已经让英格兰人相当郁闷,但要说英格兰举国公认的灾难级表现,还要数1950年在世界杯上0-1不敌埃利斯岛。 知名球员 你自己选吧。韦恩·鲁尼,史蒂夫·杰拉德,弗兰克·兰帕德,西奥·沃尔科特,阿什利·杨,丹尼·维尔贝克……呃,谁把琼乔·谢尔维叫来了? 主教练 英格兰队主教练罗伊·霍奇森就是一个普通人,他也坐地铁,还会在中场休息时讲笑话,并且几乎从不后悔。 他下课的可能性多大?80%。 谁最有可能在巴西世界杯大放异彩 瑞奇·兰伯特。好吧,也许不是。不过说实话:你被逗乐了,不是吗? 谁最有可能被提前遣送回国 约翰·特里,他会穿上刚印好号码的球衣,坐货轮偷渡到巴西,准备参加英格兰队第一场训练,然后,就被警察抓到并遣送回国了。 夺冠赔率:25赔1。 人们对英格兰队的固有印象是…… 大吃大喝,自视甚高,一遇到压力就崩溃,一遇到机会就浪费。 事实上的英格兰队 大吃大喝,自视甚高,一遇到压力就崩溃,一遇到机会就浪费。当然,英格兰还有安德罗斯·汤森。 英格兰队因什么而出名? 38%是因为电视节目《巴格普斯猫》 35%是因为前卫摇滚 19%是因为航运航行预测 8%是因为英格兰队让保罗·斯科尔斯打左路 英格兰队和巴西队有几分相似? 无论是国土面积、天气、地理位置、经济还是气质,英格兰和巴西都不太像。论足球的话……实在是不太像。 用谷歌把英格兰国歌翻译成葡萄牙语 Deus salve a nossa rainha gracioso, vida longa a nossa nobre rainha, deus salve a rainha. 英格兰国歌时长 英格兰国歌实在太长了,总有些二货会在播国歌时忍不住叫唤:“绝不向爱尔兰共和军投降。” 如何打扮成英格兰球迷 男球迷从头到脚都穿Jacamo,女球迷穿宽松的T恤和牛仔裤。 来自解说员的数据 上一次为英格兰队在世界杯上进球的是谁?2010年世界杯对阵德国队时,马修·厄普森为英格兰队打进一球。但其实当时弗兰克·兰帕德的进球本应该算作英格兰队在世界杯上进的最后一球。
