Photo: New England’s away kit
Oh 1966… England’s only World Cup title came in that year. So why not find inspiration in the shirt used by that team? England’s new away kit is very similar to the one used by the Queen’s squad in 66. Very nice indeed.

England did quite well, innit?
I did not watch England’s match against Croatia but watching the goals and some best moments showed me and English team with both confidence and good football. The Three Lions were fast and nailed a 4-1 win against the strong Croatians. Walcott’s hat-trick was blinding!
Super cool !
