The English national men's football team represents England in international men's football and is controlled by The Football Association, the governing body for football in England. Although it is a Home Nation of the United Kingdom, England is represented by its own side that plays in all the major professional tournaments, with the exception of the Olympic Games as the IOC only recognises Great Britain as a whole.

England are the most successful of the four Home Nations, having won the British Home Championship 54 times and the FIFA World Cup once when they hosted it in 1966. They have never won the UEFA European Football Championship, but have been semi-finalists twice.

Traditionally, England's greatest rivals have been Scotland.[2] England's most recent meeting with Scotland was the second leg of the Euro 2000 play-offs in November 1999, which Scotland won 1-0 at the old Wembley Stadium. Since regular fixtures against Scotland came to an end in the late 1980s, other rivalries have become more prominent. Rivalries with Argentina and Germany have produced particularly eventful encounters.

History

Main article: History of the England national football team

The England national football team is the oldest in the world, alongside Scotland. The two countries first played in the first international match, at Hamilton Crescent in Partick, Scotland on 30 November 1872.[3] Over the next forty years, England played exclusively with the other three Home nations - Scotland, Wales and Ireland. The games were made competitive with the British Home Championship from 1883 to 1984.

Before the Wembley Stadium was opened, England had had no permanent home ground. England joined FIFA in 1906, playing its first ever game outside the British Isles in 1908. However, the relationship between the two were strained, resulting in the British nations' departure from FIFA in 1928, before rejoining in 1946. As a result, England did not compete in a World Cup until 1950, in which they were humiliated in a 1-0 defeat against the United States, failing to get past the first round. A 6-3 loss in 1953 to Hungary was England's first ever defeat to a non-British team at Wembley and confirmed the end of English claims to dominate world football.

Although Walter Winterbottom was appointed as the first ever full time manager in 1946, the team was still picked by acommittee until Alf Ramsey took over in 1963. Under Ramsey, England experienced its greatest ever success, winning the 1966 World Cup Final against West Germany 4-2 after extra time. Geoff Hurst famously scored a hat-trick in the final. The 1966 World Cup was also held in England. After this victory, the fortunes of England declined and it was unsuccessful in the 1970s, qualifying for no tournaments at all. In 1982, England under Ron Greenwood qualified for 1982 World Cup in Spain after a 12-year absence and were eliminated from the second round without losing a match. The team under Bobby Robson fared better as England reached the quarter finals of the 1986 World Cup and finished fourth in the tournament four years later, which was the best performance in the World Cup since 1966.

Graham Taylor's short reign as Robson's successor ended after his England failed to qualify for the 1994 World Cup, but then the 1996 European Championships were held in England, and under new coach Terry Venables the team had its best performance at a European Championship, reaching the semi-final. The England team of the 1990s and 2000s has been consistently in football's top twenty countries, but failed to progress beyond the quarter finals of any international tournament, and has had a quick turnover of coaches, with both Glenn Hoddle and Kevin Keegan lasting little more than two years each in the role. Sven-Göran Eriksson, in charge from 2001 to 2006, was notable as the first non-English manager of England.

Recent history

Steve McClaren is the new head coach, with John Terry his choice to replace David Beckham as captain. The revised management team now features Terry Venables, the former head coach. Beckham was left out of McClaren's first international squad for the friendly match against Greece on 16 August 2006, and was not recalled until the friendly against Brazil on 1 June, 2007, almost a year later.

After a good start with three straight victories against Greece, Andorra, and Macedonia, England had a goalless draw against the same Macedonia side on home ground, followed by a 2-0 defeat to Croatia in Zagreb, which ended Paul Robinson's run of six consecutive clean sheets for his country. This defeat was the worst competitive defeat suffered by England in almost exactly thirteen years, since the loss to Holland by the same score in the qualifying matches for the 1994 World Cup. England's unimpressive form continued as they lost 1-0 to Spain in a friendly match, with the cold and disappointed crowd booing off the home side at the final whistle. England's return to competitive football in March 2007 resulted in a disappointing 0-0 draw in Tel Aviv against Israel with yet another jeering and booing from English fans.

On 28 March, 2007, England finally ended their goal drought thanks to a goal in the 54th minute of their match against Andorra by Steven Gerrard. The match ended with a 3-0 win for England, with the second goal by Gerrard and a very close-range goal from David Nugent, ending their run of 5 games without a win. England were heavily booed off the pitch at half-time by a primarily English crowd, angry at their team's failure to score in the first-half. However, even after scoring there were still loud chants off "We want McClaren out" and "There's only one David Beckham" (in reference to McClaren's afore-mentioned dropping of Beckham from the team in August 2006), as well as continued booing at the final whistle. It should be emphasised that the crowd's disappointment was a combined result of England's poor form in previous games and the under par performance of an England team, ranked 6th in the March 2007 FIFA World Rankings,[4] in a game against an Andorran team (mostly made up of part-time players) ranked 157 places below them in 163rd position.

On June 1 England took on Brazil at Wembley Stadium, seven years after the old stadium was demolished. McClaren recalled Beckham after 11 months away from the international squad, and after an even first half, captain John Terry latched on to a free-kick from Beckham, his predecessor as skipper, to score the first full international goal at the new Wembley. The Brazilians equalized with just 30 seconds remaining to level the match at 1-1. Following the friendly in Wembley, England met Estonia in the Euro 2008 qualifiers on June 6. Goals by Joe Cole, Peter Crouch and Michael Owen, the latter two assisted by the recalled Beckham, led to a 3-0 victory against Estonia in Tallinn, bringing England back up to 3 points behind Croatia in the group.

Home stadium

Main article: Wembley Stadium

For the first 50 years of its existence, England played its home matches all around the country; for the first few years it used cricket grounds, before later moving on to football clubs' stadiums. England played their first match at Wembley Stadium in 1924 against Scotland, but for the next 27 years only used Wembley as a venue for Scotland matches.

In May 1951, Argentina became the first team other than Scotland to be played at Wembley, and by 1960 nearly all of England's home matches were being played there. Between 1966 and 1995, England did not play a single home match anywhere else.

England's last match at the old Wembley was against Germany on 7 October 2000, a game which England lost 1-0. Since then the team has played at 14 venues around the country, with Old Trafford having been the most used. The FA have ruled that England will play all of their home matches at the new Wembley until at least 2036. The main reason for this is financial. The FA did not own the old Wembley stadium, but it does own the new one, and has taken on debts of hundreds of millions of pounds to pay for it. Thus it needs to maximise the revenue from England matches, and does not wish to share it with the owners of other grounds.

The new Wembley held its first international game in March 2007, when England U21s played Italy U21s in front of 55,700 people. The match was drawn 3-3, with David Bentley scoring the first goal in an England shirt at the new stadium. Italian striker Giampaolo Pazzini scored the first goal, after just 29 seconds, as well completing the first Wembley hat-trick in the 68th minute.[5] 1 June, 2007, saw the England first team's first match at the new stadium, against Brazil, resulting in a 1-1 draw.


England on tour

In the seven years between the last game prior to demolition against Germany and the first in the new stadium against Brazil, England played a total of 34 home games at 14 different stadia. Of those, the record was 22 victories, 7 draws and 5 defeats. In competitive games (World Cup and European Championship qualifiers), the record stands at 11 victories and 3 draws from 14 games. The stadia utilised are as follows[6]:

Kits

England have traditionally worn velvet shirts with navy shorts and since the early 1960s, white socks. Their change kit is red shirts, white shorts and red socks.

Other away kits worn by England have included green shirts, yellow shorts and red socks during the 1930s, '40s and '50s and pale blue (first used during the 1970 World Cup and again from 1986-1992 as a rarely-used third choice kit). In 1956 England wore a change kit of yellow shirts and socks with blue shorts, and at Euro '96 an all-grey kit was used as a second choice strip. This deviation from tradition was so unpopular amongst supporters that since then, England's away kit has remained red.[7]

In modern times England's kit has been supplied by Umbro, with the exception of the years 1974 - 1984 when it was manufactured by Admiral.

England rotates its kits every thirty years, with a new home kit released at the beginning of every odd numbered year and a new away kit released at the beginning of every even numbered year. The previous home kit (used during the 2006 FIFA World Cup) made its final appearance on 15 November, 2006 against the Netherlands. A new kit was released on 5 February, 2007 and was first used on 7 February, 2007 against Spain. The jersey has a single red stripe partially across the front of the shoulders. The crest and gold star appear on the left of the chest, with the Umbro logo, now gold, and the front shirt number appearing on the right. This symmetry also applies to the away jersey. There are now Umbro diamonds on the top of the right shoulder. A navy and white stripe depicting the three lions appears on the sides. The numbering and lettering font and colour is the same as the previous two home jerseys, and continues with silver Umbro diamonds, first seen in 2005.

Player names and numbers

For the first 65 years of competition, England footballers' shirts contained no identifying names or numbers.[8] Numbers were first worn in 1922 in a match against Scotland in Glasgow. They quickly became associated with a certain position, so to describe someone as 'England's number 9' would be to describe a player as the best choice for centre forward.[9] This terminology continues today, and the team has kept to the tradition of numbering players from 1 to 11 (12 upwards for substitutes), outside of major tournaments such as the FIFA World Cup or the UEFA European Football Championship, where permanent squad numbers are required.

Numbers are traditionally associated with a certain position, but there are no set rules. Furthermore, established players will tend to use the same number whenever they play.[10] Steven Gerrard, for example, retains the England number 4 no matter what position he plays in. However, when Gerrard does not play, another player will be number 4.

The first time that England wore names on their jerseys was at EURO 92 in Sweden. They have since worn player names on their jerseys at every major tournament. However, it was nine more years before names were worn outside major tournaments. This was due to the fact that England would issue new numbers (and therefore new jerseys) for every game. Outside the FIFA World Cup and the UEFA European Football Championship, England first wore player names for the 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifying match on 6 October, 2001 against Greece at Old Trafford, Manchester. With new technology, player names can now be affixed to the jerseys as late as the day of the match[11], although occasionally with the odd error, such as when Peter Crouch wore 21 (his squad number) on the front of his shirt and shorts, and 12 (erroneously) on his back for a game against Uruguay in early 2006.[12]
