The '''England national football team''' represents [[England]] in international football and is controlled by [[The Football Association]], the governing body for [[football in England]].<ref>{{cite web|title=FA Handbook 2013-14|url=http://www.thefa.com/~/media/files/thefaportal/governance-docs/rules-of-the-association/2013-14/fa-handbook-2013-14.ashx|publisher=TheFA.com|accessdate=2 February 2014|page=621|format=pdf}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Written evidence submitted by Lord Triesman|url=http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201012/cmselect/cmcumeds/792/792we16.htm|publisher=Parliament.uk|accessdate=31 August 2014|date=May 2009}}</ref> England are one of the two oldest national teams in football; alongside [[Scotland national football team|Scotland]], whom they played in the world's [[Scotland v England (1872)|first international football match in 1872]]. England's home ground is [[Wembley Stadium]], London, and the current team manager is [[Roy Hodgson]].

Although part of the [[United Kingdom]], England has always had a representative side that plays in major professional tournaments, though not in the Olympic Games, as the [[IOC]] has always recognised United Kingdom representative sides.

England contest the [[FIFA World Cup]] and [[UEFA European Championship]], which alternate biennially. England won the [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] in [[1966 FIFA World Cup|1966]], when they hosted the finals, defeating [[West Germany national football team|West Germany]] 4–2 in extra time in the [[1966 FIFA World Cup Final|final]]. Their best performance since has been a semi-final appearance in [[1990 FIFA World Cup|1990]]. England have never won the UEFA European Football Championship – their best performances being semi-final appearances at the [[UEFA Euro 1968#Third place play-off|1968]] and [[UEFA Euro 1996|1996 Championship]]s, the latter of which they hosted.

==History==

{{Main|History of the England national football team}}
[[File:England 1893.jpg|thumb|left|The England team before playing a match against [[Scotland national football team|Scotland]] at Richmond in 1893.]]
The England national football team is the joint-oldest in the world; it was formed at the same time as [[Scotland national football team|Scotland]]. A [[England v Scotland representative matches (1870–1872)|representative match between England and Scotland]] was played on 5 March 1870, having been organised by the [[The Football Association|Football Association]]. A return fixture was organised by representatives of Scottish football teams on 30 November 1872.

This match, played at [[Hamilton Crescent]] in Scotland, is viewed as the first official international football match, because the two teams were independently selected and operated, rather than being the work of a single football association.<ref>{{cite web |title=England Match No. 1 – Scotland – 30 November 1872 – Match Summary and Report |url=http://www.englandfootballonline.com/Seas1872-00/1872-73/M0001Sco1872.html |publisher=englandfootballonline.com |accessdate=22 October 2009}}</ref> Over the next forty years, England played exclusively with the other three [[Home Nations]]—Scotland, [[Wales national football team|Wales]] and [[Ireland national football team (1882–1950)|Ireland]]—in the [[British Home Championship]].

To begin with, England had no permanent home stadium. They joined [[FIFA]] in 1906 and played their first ever games against countries other than the Home Nations on a tour of Central Europe in 1908. [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|Wembley Stadium]] was opened in 1923 and became their home ground. The relationship between England and FIFA became strained, and this resulted in their departure from FIFA in 1928, before they rejoined in 1946. As a result, they did not compete in a [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] until [[1950 FIFA World Cup|1950]], in which they were beaten in a [[England v United States (1950)|1–0 defeat]] by the [[United States men's national soccer team|United States]], failing to get past the first round in one of the most embarrassing defeats in the team's history.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/england/7823072/England-v-USA-1950-World-Cup-win-over-the-Three-Lions-lives-long-in-the-memory.html |location=London |work=The Daily Telegraph |first=Tim |last=Hart |title=England v USA: 1950 World Cup win over the Three Lions lives long in the memory |date=12 June 2010}}</ref>

Their first ever defeat on home soil to a foreign team was an [[England v Ireland (1949)|0–2 loss]] to the [[Republic of Ireland national football team|Republic of Ireland]], on 21 September 1949 at [[Goodison Park]]. A [[England v Hungary (1953)|6–3 loss]] in 1953 to [[Hungary national football team|Hungary]], was their second defeat by a foreign team at Wembley. In the return match in [[Budapest]], Hungary won 7–1. This still stands as England's worst ever defeat. After the game, a bewildered [[Syd Owen]] said, "it was like playing men from outer space".<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/article1023170.ece |title=Football's November revolution: Magnificent Magyars storm England's Wembley fortress |first=John |last=Goodbody |newspaper=The Times |date=22 November 2003 |accessdate=13 February 2011 |location=London}}</ref> In the [[1954 FIFA World Cup]], England reached the quarter-finals for the first time, and lost 4–2 to reigning champions [[Uruguay national football team|Uruguay]].

[[File:The Queen presents the 1966 World Cup to England Captain, Bobby Moore. (7936243534).jpg|thumbnail|right|Queen [[Elizabeth II]] presenting England captain [[Bobby Moore]] with the Jules Rimet trophy following England's 4–2 victory over West Germany in the 1966 World Cup final]]
Although [[Walter Winterbottom]] was appointed as England's first ever full-time manager in 1946, the team was still picked by a committee until [[Alf Ramsey]] took over in 1963. The [[1966 FIFA World Cup]] was hosted in England and Ramsey guided England to victory with a [[1966 FIFA World Cup Final|4–2 win]] against [[Germany national football team|West Germany]] after [[extra time]] in the final, during which [[Geoff Hurst]] famously scored a [[hat-trick]]. In [[UEFA Euro 1968]], the team reached the semi-finals for the first time, being eliminated by [[Yugoslavia national football team|Yugoslavia]].

England qualified for the [[1970 FIFA World Cup]] in Mexico as reigning champions, and reached the quarter-finals, where they were knocked out by West Germany. England had been 2–0 up, but were eventually beaten 3–2 after [[extra time]]. They failed in qualification for the [[1974 FIFA World Cup|1974]], leading to Ramsey's dismissal, and [[1978 FIFA World Cup|1978]] FIFA World Cups. Under [[Ron Greenwood]], they managed to qualify for the [[1982 FIFA World Cup]] in Spain (the first time competitively since 1962); despite not losing a game, they were eliminated in the second group stage.

The team under [[Bobby Robson]] fared better as England reached the quarter-finals of the [[1986 FIFA World Cup]], losing 2–1 to [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]] in a game made famous by two goals by [[Diego Maradona|Maradona]] for very contrasting reasons, before losing every match in [[UEFA Euro 1988]]. They next went on to achieve their second best result in the [[1990 FIFA World Cup]] by finishing fourth – losing again to West Germany in an semi-final finishing 1–1 after [[extra time]], then 3–4 in England's first [[Kicks from the penalty mark|penalty shoot-out]].

Despite losing to Italy in the third place play-off, the members of the England team were given bronze medals identical to the Italians’. The England team of 1990 were welcomed home as heroes and thousands of people lined the streets, for a spectacular open-top bus parade. However, the team did not win any matches in [[UEFA Euro 1992]], drawing with tournament winners Denmark, and later with France, before being eliminated by host nation [[Sweden national football team|Sweden]].

The 1990s saw four England managers, each in the role for a relatively brief period. [[Graham Taylor (footballer)|Graham Taylor]] was Robson's successor, but resigned after England failed to qualify for the [[1994 FIFA World Cup]]. At [[UEFA Euro 1996]], held in England, [[Terry Venables]] led England, equalling their best performance at an [[UEFA European Football Championship|European Championship]], reaching the semifinals as they did in 1968.

He resigned following investigations into his financial activities.<ref>"Venables is also the only England manager ever to resign from his post because of the muddy personal details set to be showcased in a high-profile trial related to financial irregularities." {{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lg7k-Y5vF8kC&pg=PT855 |title=V is for Venables|publisher=[[When Saturday Comes]]|accessdate=10 September 2014}}</ref> His successor, [[Glenn Hoddle]], similarly left the job for non-footballing reasons after just one international tournament – the [[1998 FIFA World Cup]] — in which England were eliminated in the second round again by Argentina and again on penalties (after a 2–2 draw). Following Hoddle's departure, [[Kevin Keegan]] took England to [[UEFA Euro 2000]], but performances were disappointing and he resigned shortly afterwards.

[[File:England team.jpg|thumb|right|The England team during the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]].]]
[[Sven-Göran Eriksson]] took charge of the team between 2001 and 2006, and was the first non–English manager of England. Despite controversial press coverage of his personal life, Eriksson was consistently popular with the majority of fans.{{citation needed|date=April 2014}} He guided England to the quarter-finals of the [[2002 FIFA World Cup]], [[UEFA Euro 2004]], and the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]]. He lost only five competitive matches during his tenure, and England rose to an No.4 world ranking under his guidance. His contract was extended by the Football Association by two years, to include [[UEFA Euro 2008]]. However, it was terminated by them at the 2006 FIFA World Cup's conclusion.

[[Steve McClaren]] was then appointed as head coach, and was sacked unanimously by [[The Football Association]] on 22 November 2007, after failing to get the team to Euro 2008. The following month, he was replaced by an second foreign manager, Italian [[Fabio Capello]], whose experience included stints at [[Juventus]] and [[Real Madrid]].

England won all but one of their [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group 6|qualifying games]] for the [[2010 FIFA World Cup]], but at the tournament itself, England drew their opening two games; this led to questions about the team's spirit, tactics and ability to handle pressure.<ref>{{cite news |title=Rifts appear as players grow tired of Capello regime |url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2010/jun/21/england-john-terry-fabio-capello |date=21 June 2010 |author=Owen Gibson |newspaper=The Guardian |accessdate=3 July 2010 |location=London}}</ref> They progressed to the next round, where they were beaten 4–1 by [[Germany national football team|Germany]], their heaviest defeat in an World Cup.

In February 2012, Capello resigned from his role as England manager, following a disagreement with the [[English Football Association|FA]] over their request to remove [[John Terry]] from team captaincy after accusations of racial abuse concerning the player.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16941457 |title=Fabio Capello quits as England manager after meeting with FA |publisher=BBC |date=8 February 2012 |accessdate=2 August 2012}}</ref> Following this, there was media speculation that [[Harry Redknapp]] would take the job.

In the [[2014 FIFA World Cup]], England were eliminated at the group stage for the first time since the 1958 World Cup, and the first time at a major tournament since Euro 2000.<ref>{{Cite news|date=2014-06-20|url=http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jun/20/world-cup-2014-england-crash-out|title=World Cup 2014: England crash out after Costa Rica surprise Italy|newspaper=The Guardian|publisher=Guardian News and Media Limited|accessdate=2014-06-20}}</ref> England's points total of one from three matches was its worst ever in the World Cup, obtaining one point from drawing against [[Costa Rica national football team|Costa Rica]] in their last match.<ref>{{Cite news|date=2014-06-24|url=http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-match-reports/england-0-costa-rica-0-3756990|title=England 0 Costa Rica 0: Winless Three Lions bow out of Brazil 2014 with a whimper|newspaper=Daily Record|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref> England qualified for [[UEFA Euro 2016]], with 10 wins from 10 qualifying matches.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/sep/05/wayne-rooney-record-england-san-marino-euro-2016|title= Wayne Rooney the record man helps blast England into Euro 2016 finals|work=BBC Sport|accessdate=5 September 2015}}</ref>

===Media coverage===
All England matches are broadcast with full commentary on [[BBC Radio 5 Live]]. From the [[2008–09 in English football|2008–09]] season until the 2017–18 season, England's home and away qualifiers, and friendlies both home and away are broadcast live on [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] (often with the exception of [[STV (TV network)|STV]], the ITV affiliate in central and northern [[Scotland]]). England's away qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup were shown on [[Setanta Sports]] until that company's collapse. As a result of Setanta Sports's demise, England's World Cup qualifier in Ukraine on 10 October 2009 was shown in the United Kingdom on a pay-per-view basis via the internet only. This one-off event was the first time an England game had been screened in such a way. The number of subscribers, paying between £4.99 and £11.99 each, was estimated at between 250,000 and 300,000 and the total number of viewers at around 500,000.<ref>{{cite news |title=Meltdown averted as England match draws online audience of 500,000 |newspaper=The Guardian |date=11 October 2009 |author=Owen Gibson |url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/oct/11/england-ukraine-internet-viewing-figures |accessdate=23 February 2010 |location=London}}</ref>

===Colours===
[[File:Eng1966 football shirt.jpeg|thumb|upright=0.8|England shirt during [[1966 FIFA World Cup Final|1966 World Cup final]].]]
England's traditional home colours are white shirts, navy blue shorts and white or black socks. The team has periodically worn an all-white kit.

Although England's first [[away kit]]s were blue, England's traditional away colours are red shirts, white shorts and red socks. In 1996, England's away kit was changed to grey shirts, shorts and socks. This kit was only worn three times, including against Germany in the semi-final of Euro 96 but the deviation from the traditional red was unpopular with supporters and the England away kit remained red until 2011, when a navy blue away kit was introduced. The away kit is also sometimes worn during home matches, when a new edition has been released to promote it.

England have occasionally had a third kit. At the 1970 World Cup England wore a third kit with pale blue shirts, shorts and socks against [[Czechoslovakia national football team|Czechoslovakia]]. They had a kit similar to [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]]'s, with yellow shirts, yellow socks and blue shorts which they wore in the summer of 1973. For the World Cup in 1986 England had a third kit of pale blue, imitating that worn in Mexico sixteen years before and England retained pale blue third kits until 1992, but they were rarely used.

[[Umbro]] first agreed to manufacture the kit in 1954 and since then has supplied most of the kits, the exceptions being from 1959-1965 with [[Bukta]] and 1974-1984 with [[Admiral Sportswear|Admiral]]. [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]] purchased Umbro in 2008 and took over as kit supplier in 2013 following their sale of the Umbro brand.<ref>{{cite web|title=England's Uniforms and Playing Kits|url=http://www.englandfootballonline.com/teamunif/Unif.html|website=EnglandFootballOnline.com|accessdate=30 October 2014}}</ref>

===Home stadium===
{{Main|England national football team home stadium}}
[[File:Wembley enggermatch.jpg|thumb|right|[[Wembley Stadium]] during a friendly match between England and [[Germany national football team|Germany]]]]
For the first fifty years of their existence, England played their home matches all around the country. They initially used [[cricket]] grounds before later moving on to football clubs' stadiums. The original [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|Empire Stadium]] was built in [[Wembley]], London, for the [[British Empire Exhibition]].

England played their first match at the stadium in 1924 against Scotland and for the next 27 years Wembley was used as a venue for matches against Scotland only. The stadium later became known simply as Wembley Stadium and it became England's permanent home stadium during the 1950s. In October 2000, the stadium closed its doors, ending with a [[2000 England v Germany football match|defeat]].

This stadium was demolished during the period of 2002–2003, and work began to completely rebuild it. During this time, England played at a number of different venues across the country, though by the time of the [[2006 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group 6|2006 FIFA World Cup qualification]], this had largely settled down to having Manchester United's [[Old Trafford]] stadium as the primary venue, with Newcastle United's [[St. James' Park, Newcastle|St. James' Park]] used on occasions when Old Trafford was unavailable.

They returned to the new [[Wembley Stadium]] in March 2007. The stadium is now owned by the Football Association, via its subsidiary Wembley National Stadium Limited.

===FIFA World Cup===
{{Main|England at the FIFA World Cup}}
England first appeared at the [[1950 FIFA World Cup]] and have appeared in 14 FIFA World Cups, they are tied for sixth-best in terms of number of wins alongside France and Spain. The national team is one of eight national teams to have won at least one [[FIFA World Cup]] title. The England team won their first and only World Cup title in [[1966 FIFA World Cup|1966]]. The tournament was played on home soil and England defeated [[Germany national football team|Germany]] 4–2 in the final. In [[1990 FIFA World Cup|1990]], England finished in fourth place, losing 2–1 to host nation [[Italy national football team|Italy]] in the third place play-off after losing on penalties to champions [[Germany national football team|Germany]] in the semi-final. The team has also reached the quarter-final on two recent occasions in [[2002 FIFA World Cup|2002]] and [[2006 FIFA World Cup|2006]]. Previously, they reached this stage in [[1954 FIFA World Cup|1954]], [[1962 FIFA World Cup|1962]], [[1970 FIFA World Cup|1970]] and [[1986 FIFA World Cup|1986]].

England failed to qualify for the World Cup in [[1974 World Cup|1974]], [[1978 World Cup|1978]] and [[1994 World Cup|1994]]. The team's earliest exit in the competition itself was its elimination in the first round in [[1950 FIFA World Cup|1950]], [[1958 FIFA World Cup|1958]] and most recently in the [[2014 FIFA World Cup]], after being defeated in both their opening two matches for the first time, versus [[Italy national football team|Italy]] and [[Uruguay national football team|Uruguay]] in Group D. In 1950, four teams remained after the first round, in 1958 eight teams remained and in 2014 sixteen teams remained. In 2010, England suffered its most resounding World Cup defeat (4–1 to [[Germany national football team|Germany]]) in the Round of 16, after drawing with the [[United States men's national soccer team|United States]] and [[Algeria national football team|Algeria]] and defeating [[Slovenia national football team|Slovenia]] 1–0 in the [[2010 FIFA World Cup Group C|group stage]].
