Why Do England Never Stage The Men's World Cup? - How It All Played Out
In 1966 England won the World Cup with a 4-2 win against West Germany...they even won it on home soil.With players such as Gascoigne, Steven Gerrard, Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane it remains a mystery as to how they haven't won it again...but they haven't even hosted the tournament again.It may seem strange, but there are reasons as to why. Join Mark and Paul as they chart the history of the World Cup, from its inception to modern day, exploring the politics behind why the England men's team have failed ever again to be the host nation of the most coveted prize in football, and why the FA are now more focussed on winning the competition than staging it.From doomed bids, bribes, conspiracy theories and hatred from other nations, this episode of How It All Played Out peels back the curtain to answer: Why do England never stage the men's World Cup?Remember to follow or subscribe and give us a 5 star review too!We'd love to hear from you!
