England – Game plan
For team England, this is one tournament which every fan back home will be counting on. England team reached semi-finals of last world cup and lost to Italy on penalties in Euro 2020 final.
Though their recent form in unconvincing, this is highly talented team. Two finest midfielder – Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham and best striker in the world – Harry Kane are the backbone of this team.
Team faced multiple problems in recent past – barren Nations League run, Harry Maguire’s struggles, injuries to Reece James and Kyle Walker a headache on the right side of the defence are some of those.
I know I will be judged on what happens at that World Cup. I am not arrogant enough to think that my contract is going to protect me.

England Team Jersey
England team will be donning white home and red away shirts.
According to Nike: The redesigned English collection takes inspiration from the boldness of the English team, highlighting their stalwart spirit and collective energy through a range of design cues.
The England jersey combines the iconic Blue Void with youthful patterns and colour gradients and a distorted Three Lions graphic on the shoulders, layered with aggressive angles and lines to replicate claw marks.
The away kit also features a reimagined collar—a signature of the English team—that reveals a knitted 3 Lions graphic when the collar is popped.
