Have we matched Wembley 1966 and 2022, or lost again on penalties?
As a football fan in the Home Nations, there is at least one thing
of which you can be sure. Even if sometimes other countries play it
better than us, they'll forever have to thank Britain for the fun,
the excitement, the tragedy, the triumph, the pain, the pleasure
and the sheer gloriousness of the best sport in the world. From
Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, it was Britain that first spread the
beautiful game across the world. Cornish miners took football
skills along with their pasties to Mexico; Iraqi football legend
Ammo Baba learnt the game at an RAF base; the Buenos Aires Cricket
Club gave the world Argentine football; and Romanian dentist Iuliu
Weiner got not one an English education but a passion for football
too. This is a book about football, yes, but it is also a book
about all the countries of the world, about shared passion and
shared humanity. It's how Britain brought football to the world.
