It's been 48 years since the England national football team claimed its one and only FIFA World Cup title in 1966. Now, with a World Cup tournament in the offing this summer, and with players donning the England training kit and working hard with coaches and managers to mount an attack plan worth of international glory, many fans in London and throughout Britain are wondering if the England team could bring home a second trophy at long last.
 With all of this in mind, Soccer Box has built up a full stock of England World Cup gear, from home and away kits to training gear like the England navy sideline jacket 2014. The jacket is a good-looking, recycled polyester, navy blue garment, complete with the England team crest and the iconic Swoosh of team sponsors, Nike. Players will be wearing the jacket before matches in Brazil, and fans should have them ready for the colder days of the tournament as well.
The 1966 Victory
The legacy that England team members and fans alike are chasing is that of the 1966 England national football team. In that particular year, England won the bid to host the World Cup, meaning that fans showed up en masse decorated in England training kit and various other pieces of gear to cheer their team on.
The loud crowds provided the extra inspiration that the England team needed to triumph where it had failed in the past. The team burned through the group stage, sending France and Mexico home without further advancement, and edging out Uruguay to come out of the group in top position.
The momentum continued in the quarterfinals, where England defeated Argentina in a 1-0 victory. A similar win came in the semifinals against Portugal, where the England team won in a 2-1 match, securing itself a berth in the championship match.
By the time the day of the final match rolled around, excitement among England fans was at a fever pitch. Soccer enthusiasts packed England's legendary Wembley stadium, creating deafening roars that gave the team members the infectious adrenaline they needed to claim the World Cup trophy.
A Mixed History
England ultimately defeated the team from West Germany in a decisive 4-2 victory, earning the team the World Cup title it had so coveted ever since the first tournament had been held in 1930.
Fast-forward 48 years, however, that title is still the only one that England has to its credit. A quarterfinal elimination in 1970 kept the team from properly defending its title, while failures to qualify for the tournament in 1974 and 1978 were even more crushing.
Since then, the England team has been on a path of numerous ups and downs. A fourth place finish in 1994 was followed by another missed qualification in 1998, while most of the team's World Cup runs have ended either in the round of 16 or in the quarterfinals.
2014 Hopes
This year, however, fans are hoping to see the England navy sideline jacket 2014 down on the edges of the pitch for a longer span of time. Currently, the England team is slotted at number 11 on the FIFA World Rankings, meaning that the team certainly has the potential to push beyond the quarterfinals for the first time since 1994.
England fans are hoping for bigger things than just a repeat of 2014's fourth place finish. On the contrary, if there is one thing that England supporters want to see, it's the moment where the England national football team gets to go from a one-time World Cup winner to a two-time champion.
Undoubtedly, England will face some challenges to make that happen. When the English team won in 1966, part of the reason for the victory was the momentum generated by the sheer volume and vigor of the home crowds. This year, the sight of the England navy sideline jacket 2014 on the pitch will still inspire cheers from many, but the support won't be as strong as it was in 1966.
If you have plans to head to Brazil this summer and want to help the England team, then showing your team spirit is arguably the best way to do so. Soccer Box has a range of team gear to help you do that from the team's 2014 World Cup home jersey to this year's England training kit
