Profile 

The first nation of football and the global distributor of the game, England is long on passion but short on actual prizes. Their 1966 FIFA World Cup success on home soil is still their only major tournament triumph.

Summer 2006 marked the passing of four decades since Bobby Moore lifted the Jules Rimet trophy. England traveled to Germany among the favourites despite a qualifying campaign that, while largely comfortable, did provide a bump or two towards the end.

England reached the quarter-final. This match against Portugal ended 0-0 after extra time. David Beckham was substititued early in the second half with an ankle injury, and then Wayne Rooney was sent off for stamping on Ricardo Carvalho's groin in a rough tackle, though Rooney later denied it was intentional. The draw led to a penalty shoot-out that England lost 3-1, thus being eliminated from the tournament.

Three lions - The anthem 

"Three Lions" was the official anthem of the England football team for the 1996 European Championships, held that year in England. The music was written by The Lightning Seeds, with comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner providing the lyrics. The song was a much bigger success than most football songs, and was said to capture the Zeitgeist perfectly. The title comes from the emblem of the England football team, which is in turn derived from the Coat of Arms of England.
