Explained in plain English
When did England win?
England famously won the World Cup once, on home soil in 1966. It was a huge moment for the nation, beating West Germany 4-2 in the final at Wembley Stadium. This historic victory remains their only major international tournament win, making every subsequent World Cup, like the one mentioned in the story, a chance to relive past glory or create new history.
