英格兰历史



英格兰是联合王国四个主要地区中面积最大以及人口最多的地方。之所以会有这种地区上的划分，可以追溯到5世纪时盎格鲁-萨克逊人的到来。而英格兰地区在政治上的统一则是从10世纪开始的。本篇文章主要就是在叙述这块地区的历史。要注意的是，自从1603年苏格兰国王詹姆士六世即位为英格兰国王直到公元10世纪之前，英格兰的历史其实是很难和整个大不列颠的历史分割开来的。

史前英国。

罗马时期前的英国可以分成以下几个时期（年份皆是近似值）：

前8000年 中石器时代开始
前2500年 新石器时代开始
前1600年 青铜器时代开始
前900年 凯尔特人迁徙至此地
前400年 铁器时代初期
大不列颠岛的南部目前有许多罗马时期以前的遗迹留存下来。大约前15世纪青铜器时代的巨石阵（Stonehenge）就是一个大型的遗迹。

在石阵附近的爱维贝瑞（Avebury）则有更早以前巨石圈。在英格兰北部夏佛尔郡（Sheffield）的温克班（Wincobank）可以看到铁器时代的丘陵要塞（hill fort）遗迹，而英格兰南部也有不少这类的丘陵要塞，从多尔赛郡（Dorset）的大型梅登城堡（Maiden Castle）到位在柏克夏尔郡（Berkshire）小很多的葛林斯贝瑞城堡（Grimsbury Castle）都有，代表了那时已经拥有集中的土木工程系统。位在德文郡（Devon）的达特姆国家公园（Dartmoor National Park）拥有英国最大型的青铜器时代聚落遗迹，那里存留有大约5000个房屋地基、石柱、石柱群、石棺（kistvaen）、巨石圈和锥形石堆（cairn）。其中有许多的保存状况非常良好，最有名就是葛林斯庞（Grimspound）聚落。

都铎王朝时期
都铎王朝，开始于1485年，「玫瑰战争」结束，亨利·都铎夺得王位。1603年，都铎王朝的最后一位君主伊莉莎白女王去世，

都铎王朝结束。这一百多年的都铎王朝时代可是英国历史上的黄金时代。

都铎王朝的统治者包括：

亨利七世，亨利·都铎，亨利六世侄子（父亲是亨利六世同母异父的弟弟）
亨利八世，亨利七世次子
爱德华六世，亨利八世的小儿子
琴·格蕾郡主，亨利七世外孙女的女儿
在位只有九天，一般不算作英国女王
玛丽一世，爱德华六世同父异母的姐姐
伊莉莎白一世，玛丽一世同父异母的妹妹



宗教冲突与清教徒革命



工业革命
18世纪末期和19世纪初期，农业社会被广泛地转化为科技化和机械化的工业社会，这次重大的变革被称为工业革命。

非常多的农业生产者转移到了城市和邻近城市的郊区进行大规模的集中式生产，以蒸汽动力为基础的新技术使得经济规模扩大而得到节约和增加单个工人生产量，从而使得传统的家庭式手工业被减少，其后的结果就是这些地区拥有很少的底层支持，使得婴儿死亡率（这一方面，很多以5，6岁学龄前儿童为主的主日学校拥有葬礼社，互相负责葬礼事务安排）、犯罪率和社会剥削大大增高。

这次工业化的变革对工人来说并不是完全无痛苦的，很多人在这个过程中的生活受到威胁。他们中的一部分常常进行和准备进行对工厂的破坏。这些破坏分子被称为“德勒分子”。对这些“德勒分子”历史也应该有不同看法，如E.P.汤普森。（E.P.Thompsom)




近代历史
汉诺威王朝(House of Hanover)，是于1692-1866年间统治德国汉诺威地区和在1714-1901年间统治英国的王朝。1688年，英国发生光荣革命，英王詹姆斯二世和其信奉天主教的后裔被逐离英国。詹姆斯信奉新教的女儿玛丽和安妮陆续继位，但不幸二人都驾崩后都无存活子嗣可继承王位。



在安妮女王长子夭折后，英国国会为避免英国王位再次落入天主教徒手上，通过1701王位继承法/1701嗣位法，规定: 若1689权利法案中所规定的继承人全部无子死亡后，王位由英王詹姆士一世的外孙女，汉诺威选帝侯夫人苏菲亚和她的新教后代继承。

这部法律，令当时在英国王位继承序列头50名的王室成员都失去王位继承权。虽然，法案导致数次因王位争端而起的冲突，但位于王位继承序列第52名的汉诺威选帝侯，乔治一世（George I），最终于1714年继位为大不列颠国王及爱尔兰国王，直至1727年驾崩。而大不列颠王国和爱尔兰王国于1801年合并，组成大不列颠及爱尔兰联合王国。

温莎王朝(The House of Windsor)，自1917年统治英国和其海外领地的家族，其前身为萨克森—科堡-哥达王朝，而其家族实际姓氏为维丁(Wettin)。

王朝背景

温莎王朝的父系祖先为维丁家族，后来其中一个分支被分封到萨克森—科堡-哥达公国(即今日德国的图林根州)，该分支便自此以国为王朝名，但保留维丁作为私人姓氏。

该分支的数码王子通过婚姻或获选多国国王，如葡萄牙、比利时和保加利亚国王等。1840年2月10日，英女王维多利亚和她的大表哥萨克森-科堡-哥达亲王阿尔伯特结婚，萨克森-科堡-哥达这个德国姓氏就此带入英国王室。



1901年1月22日，维多利亚女王驾崩，其长子继位为爱德华七世，爱德华成为第一位萨克森-科堡-哥达王朝的君主。

王朝之始———改朝换姓

1914年8月4日，英国加入第一次世界大战。但由于经历多年复杂的联姻，此时欧洲各国的君主，多是表兄弟的关系。而英国王室带有德国姓氏，更令英国人觉得不顺。为安抚民心，当时在位的英王乔治五世，在1917年7月17日颁布一道枢密院御令，宣布改将英国王室名和王室父系子裔私人姓氏，改为温莎。温莎一名来自温莎堡，是英国最古老的王宫之一，遽闻由英王征服者威廉一世选址奠基的。

重要事件

温莎王朝经历两次世界大战，两次皆成功令英国成为战胜国。而另一方面，英殖民帝国在二战后迅速瓦解，殖民地陆续宣布独立，令英国在世界的影响力大不如前，陆续失去爱尔兰国王和印度皇帝等称号。

但通过各种妥协方式，令英国在前殖民地区的影响力依然举足轻重。这些妥协包括成立英联邦，和允许一些国家独立自主，但仍奉英王为国家元首。直至今天，仍有15个国家奉英王为国家元首，其中包括加拿大、澳大利亚等等，令英王至今依然为名义上统治最大面积领土的君主。

[编辑本段]概况
英格兰（England），一译“英吉利”。大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国（英国）领土的主要部分，因此习惯上英格兰一词也泛指英国。英格兰位于大不列颠岛的西南方，苏格兰以南，威尔士以东，还包括怀特岛、锡利群岛和沿岸各小岛，面积约13万平方公里。是英国面积最大，人口最多，经济最发达的一个部分。历史上跟苏格兰以哈德良长城为界。 英格兰这个名字源自“盎格鲁－撒克逊”（Anglo-Saxon）的简写，他们是继维京人和凯尔特人之后来到这个地方的日耳曼民族。人口4，684.5万（1983），集中了英国本土人口的83％。人口平均密度达每平方公里359人，为世界人口最稠密区之一。城市人口占80％。奔宁山脉纵贯北部和中部，平均海拔200-500米，山地两侧有煤、铁资源。东南部为起伏不大的平原。气候温暖湿润。主要河流有泰晤士、塞文和特伦特河等。是英国主要的工业、农业区。重要工业有采煤、钢铁、机械、炼油、化工、纺织、医药等。奔宁山两侧煤田附近为旧工业区，伦敦及其周围为新工业区，炼油和石油化工偏重在沿海港口。重要农畜产品有小麦、大麦、甜菜、马铃薯、蔬菜和牛、猪等。英格兰东南部为主要耕作区。重要的大城市和良港有伦敦、伯明翰、利物浦、曼彻斯特、设菲尔德、利兹、南安普敦和普利茅斯等。
[编辑本段]历史
“Britain”这个词起源于希腊语和拉丁语，而最终可能追溯到凯尔特语。尽管用“史前时期”这一尺度来衡量时，凯尔特人也是稍后才来到不列颠群岛的(在此之前的那些文明就已创造了诸如埃夫伯里巨石建筑遗址和圆形巨石阵这样的著名历史遗迹)，但是有关英国历史的文字记载毕竟还是从讲述凯尔特人开始的。“凯尔特”这个词语相当普遍地经常用来区分不列颠群岛的早期居民和后来的盎格鲁-撒克逊入侵者。
罗马人的统治从公元43年起延续了300多年。在罗马人于408年最后撤走之前，该岛开始遭到来自北欧的盎格鲁人、撒克逊人和朱特人的侵扰,经历了一段日趋混乱的时期。“England”这个词正是从“Angles”而来的。在此后的两个世纪中,侵扰逐步变成了定居，并建立了许多小王国。不列颠人在如今的威尔士和康沃尔地区独立生存下去。这些小王国中出现了力量较强称霸全国的王国,先是在北方(诺森布里亚王国),然后在中部（麦西亚王国）,最后在南方(西撒克斯王国)。但是，来自斯堪的纳维亚的北欧海盗接着入侵英国并定居下来，尽管在10世纪时西撒克斯王朝曾击败过入侵的丹麦人并一度称霸英格兰的广大区域。
1066年发生了对英格兰的最后一次成功入侵。诺曼底的威廉公爵在黑斯廷斯战役中击败了英国人,来自法国的诺曼人和其他人来此定居。在随后的3个世纪中，法语成为贵族的语言，法律结构受到了英吉利海峡彼岸所通行的那一套的影响，社会结构在某种程度上也受到了影响。
威尔士虽然常常处于英格兰人的势力范围之内,但一直是凯尔特人的堡垒。然而在1282年卢埃林王子阵亡之后,爱德华一世发动了一场战役并取得胜利,把威尔士置于英格兰的统治之下。威尔士人的民族情绪继续高涨,15世纪初由欧文·格林德领导的起义便说明了这一点。1536年和1542年的联合法令把英格兰与威尔士在行政、政治和法律上统为一体。
当初住在苏格兰的大多是皮克特人。公元6世纪,来自爱尔兰的苏格兰人在如今的阿盖尔地区定居。洛锡安住着英格兰人,而威尔士不列颠人则继续北上来到斯特拉思克莱德。9世纪时,苏格兰各地区联合起来抵御北欧海盗。在整个中世纪,英格兰当时强大的君主国一直威胁着苏格兰的独立。
英格兰与苏格兰最终的联合表明,当时宗教上的差异比之以往的民族仇视更加至关紧要。在英格兰，伊丽莎白一世去世后，1603年由苏格兰詹姆斯六世(英格兰詹姆斯一世)继位。即使如此，英格兰和苏格兰除了在奥利弗·克伦威尔统治时一度被强行联合在一起，在17世纪它们一直是相互独立的。到1707年,由于意识到更紧密的政治和经济联合会带来益处，双方同意建立一个单一的大不列颠议会。苏格兰仍然保留自己的司法制度和宗教社区。但是在乔治一世和乔治二世这两位汉诺威王朝新教徒统治期间,英格兰和苏格兰之间的关系紧张起来，詹姆斯二世党人发动过两次叛乱,试图恢复信奉天主教的斯图亚特王朝。
1169年英格兰的亨利二世发动对爱尔兰的入侵。英格兰籍教皇阿德里安四世授予亨利二世最高统治者的权力,因为他急于想使爱尔兰教会完全顺从罗马。爱尔兰大部分地区都落到了盎格鲁—诺曼权贵手中，但是在中世纪英格兰几乎没有在此直接行使管辖权。
都铎王朝的几位君主干预爱尔兰的倾向要强烈得多。在伊丽莎白一世统治时期,对爱尔兰造反者发动过一系列战役。'抵抗运动主要集中在北部的乌尔斯特省,1607年由于抵抗运动失败以及领导人出逃,乌尔斯特变成了来自苏格兰和英格兰的移民聚居地区。
由于英国内战(1642~1652),爱尔兰又爆发了多次起义，但都被克伦威尔镇压下去。1688年詹姆斯二世被废黯之后，英格兰与爱尔兰之间的战争更是不断。18世纪大部分都是脆弱的和平时期。18世纪末，英国政府为谋求稳定作出了多方努力。1782年，爱尔兰议会(建立于中世纪)获得立法自主权；在宪法上与大不到颠的唯一纽带是王国政府。然而，该议会仅仅代表少数盎格鲁-爱尔兰特权阶层，天主教徒被排斥在外。1798年发生了一次起义,但没有成功；1801年,爱尔兰与大不列颠联合为一体。
虽然1916年都柏林民族起义者的起义遭到了镇压,但是在第一次世界大战末期,一股称为爱尔兰共和军的游击力量开始对英国当局采取军事行动。1920年通过的爱尔兰政府法案规定要成立两个地方自治议会,一个设在都柏林,另一个设在贝尔法斯特。该法案于1921年在北爱尔兰实施，乌尔斯特省9个郡中有6个接受了它们自己的议会,同时在英国议会中仍享有席位,并服从英国议会的最高管辖权。但是，爱尔兰共和军继续在南部为争取脱离英国当局赢得独立而战斗。1921年6月签订了停战协定之后，根据同年12月缔结的英—爱条约建立于爱尔兰自由邦，1949年该自由邦成为爱尔兰共和国。
海峡群岛和马恩岛虽不属于联合王国,但与联合王国有着特殊的关系。海峡群岛在10世纪和11世纪时曾是诺曼底公国的一部分。马恩岛在1266年以前名义上一直由挪威行使主权,到1765年最终才直接由王国政府管辖。今天,海峡群岛和马恩岛都有各自的立法机构和法律制度,英国政府则负责那里的防卫和国际关系事务

Forty years too long for England

The first nation of football and the global distributor of the game, England are long on passion but short on actual prizes with their 1966 FIFA World Cup™ success on home soil still their only major tournament triumph.
Summer 2006 will mark the passing of four decades since Bobby Moore lifted the Jules Rimet trophy but England will travel to Germany among the favourites despite a qualifying campaign that, while largely comfortable, did provide a bump or two towards the end. After opening with a 2-2 draw in Austria, Sven-Goran Eriksson’s side won six games in succession before suffering an embarrassing 1-0 loss to Northern Ireland on 7 September 2005.

Add a 4-1 friendly defeat in Denmark a month earlier and England’s credentials were suddenly open to question yet Eriksson’s team responded with home victories over Austria and Poland that secured them first place in Group 6 with a record of eight victories and just one defeat in ten matches.

England have made eleven previous FIFA World Cup™ finals appearances, starting with their debut at Brazil 1950. Since the glory of 1966, however, the furthest they have travelled in the competition was to the semi-finals in 1990, where they lost on penalties to West Germany. Four years ago in Korea/Japan, they were losing quarter-finalists for the fifth time, going down 2-1 to Brazil having taken the lead through a Michael Owen goal.

Two years later they fell at the same hurdle at the UEFA European Championship in Portugal, beaten on penalties by the hosts, but found some consolation in the explosive form of the then 18-year-old Wayne Rooney. Now 20, this prodigiously gifted forward is already established as the player the national team look to for inspiration.

Rooney is not the only world-class talent in a side that also boasts striker Owen and the midfield trio of David Beckham, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard. In defence too England are strong with John Terry emerging as a genuine contender for a central role alongside Rio Ferdinand or Sol Campbell.

Swedish coach Eriksson has been in charge since 2000 and has not enjoyed a finer hour than England’s 5-1 win in Germany in a FIFA World Cup qualifier in September 2001. The question is whether he can rekindle that magic when they return there next summer.

Facts

England, the cradle of the modern game, took part in the FIFA World Cup finals for the first time in 1950. Despite winning their opening game against Chile, they lost to the USA and Spain and packed their bags after the first round. In 1954, England lost to Uruguay in the quarter-finals, and in 1962 they fell at the same stage to the eventual world champions Brazil.

England's glory came in the 1966 FIFA World Cup, on home turf. Football's inventors were crowned world champions for the first and only time after a 4-2 win against Germany in the final. Geoff Hurst scored a hat-trick in the match.

Since then, England have not progressed beyond the semi-finals. In 1990 they reached the last four but were eliminated by the eventual champions Germany in a penalty shoot-out.

Profile
David Beckham is one of the world’s most recognised sportsmen. Years of success on the field at Manchester United combined with a high-profile lifestyle off it had ensured him a rare level of wealth and celebrity even before he became part of Real Madrid’s galácticos project in 2003.
More than anything, however, Beckham is a dedicated professional, who takes immense pride from his role as England captain. His talent with a football was evident from an early age: as a boy he won a Bobby Charlton Soccer Schools National Skills competition and before long he had signed up for his favourite team, Manchester United.

Beckham was part of a remarkable United youth side containing fellow future England internationals Nicky Butt, Gary Neville and Paul Scholes that won the FA Youth Cup in 1992. Although it was not until the 1995/96 season, when he was 20, that he established himself in the first team at Old Trafford, the wait was worthwhile.

That campaign ended with him collecting Premiership and FA Cup winner’s medals and Beckham began the following season by scoring a memorable goal from the halfway line against Wimbledon. He ended it with the award for English football’s Young Player of the Year and in between made his England debut in a FIFA World Cup™ qualifier against Moldova.

Beckham had to wait until the 1998 finals in France to score his first international goal and fittingly it was a trademark free-kick in a 2-0 victory over Colombia. It is arguable that during the past decade nobody in world football has delivered better set-pieces than the Englishman, who is famed for his ability to provide perfect crosses from the right flank.

Unfortunately for Beckham, the 1998 FIFA World Cup ended in dismay as he was sent off for aiming a kick at Diego Simeone during England’s second-round loss to Argentina. That act of petulance made him a convenient scapegoat for the defeat, yet he won over his critics with his subsequent efforts in an England shirt.

After helping United complete a treble of Premiership, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League successes in 1999, Beckham received personal recognition as he finished second in both the FIFA World Player and European Footballer of the Year polls.

The next year he was named England captain for the first time for a friendly in Italy and he quickly grew into the role. Relishing the extra responsibility, Beckham sealed his country’s place in the 2002 FIFA World Cup with a spectacular late free-kick in their last qualifier against Greece and his excellent form in 2001 earned him second place in the FIFA World Player of the Year voting.

A foot injury meant Beckham faced a race against time to be fit for Korea/Japan but he eventually appeared in every match of England’s run to the quarter-finals in the Far East and enjoyed a moment to savour as his penalty brought a 1-0 victory over old rivals Argentina.

After collecting his sixth Premiership winner’s medal in 2003, Beckham said goodbye to English football for a new challenge at Real Madrid. However, he remains a fixture in the England team. He scored fine goals against Wales and Azerbaijan during Germany 2006 qualifying and completed 50 matches as national captain during last November’s friendly against Argentina.

Beckham will be 31 when the FIFA World Cup kicks off and will surpass the 90-cap mark during the tournament. But what he really wants is to end it by emulating another Londoner, Bobby Moore, and lifting world football’s greatest prize.

The thought of what Wayne Rooney might achieve at the FIFA World Cup™ is enough to whet the appetite of any England fan – without even getting to the other 22 members of Sven-Goran Eriksson’s squad.
Simply recalling how Rooney performed at the 2004 UEFA European Championship, his first major international tournament, should set English pulses racing. Forget stage fright, it was the Liverpudlian teenager who was terrifying the opposition.

Rooney struck twice against both Switzerland and Croatia to lead England to a quarter-final against Portugal where his early departure with a broken foot was a pivotal moment in a match Eriksson’s men eventually lost on penalties.

Now 20, he is widely considered the finest natural talent in English football since Paul Gascoigne but where Gazza was 22 when he made his international debut, Rooney – as his performances in Portugal showed – was already England’s most important player at 18. Just as he appears to do things at a different speed to everyone else on the football pitch, so his career has progressed on fast-play.

As a 14-year-old Rooney was starring for the U-19s at Everton, his boyhood club. Aged 16 he was in the Everton first team and signalled his arrival on the Premiership stage with an unforgettable first league goal against then champions Arsenal in October 2002. After taking the field as a late substitute he curled a spectacular last-minute strike over David Seaman to end Arsenal's 30-match unbeaten run.

The message was clear: with Rooney anything is possible. Just as defenders bounce off his stocky boxer's frame, so he sends records tumbling. He beat James Prinsep's 124-year record as England's youngest player when, aged 17 years and 111 days, he made his debut against Australia on 12 February 2003. Seven months later, he became England's youngest ever scorer when he struck the opening goal in a European Championship qualifying win in FYR Macedonia. He was 17 years and 317 days old.

The football pitch, in the words of Colin Harvey, his former youth coach at Everton, is Rooney’s ‘playground’. Although a striker, he does his best work from deep, using his strength and skill to run at defenders while his vision creates openings for others.

Michael Owen once described Rooney’s game as "running at people, playing in that hole, shooting from distance, passing the ball, bits of skill". In other words just about everything. Not surprising for someone known to excel in central defence during Young v Old games on the training ground – and who even enjoys trying his luck in goal.

After leaving Everton for Manchester United in August 2004, Rooney soon showed that he was cheap at the £27million United paid for him. He struck a remarkable hat-trick on his debut at Old Trafford against Fenerbahce in the UEFA Champions League and ended the 2004/05 season with 11 goals from 29 league appearances and the Young Player of the Year award.

He produced more of the same during the 2005/06 campaign, notably with his man-of-the-match display in the League Cup final against Wigan Athletic where his two goals helped United to a 4-0 triumph – and himself to the first winner’s medal of his career.

And although he did not net a single goal in England’s Germany 2006 qualifying campaign, the performance he gave in the friendly win over Argentina last November – a fearsome combination of raging bull and floating butterfly – underlines why England fans are expecting so much from him.

Michael Owen was just 18 when he etched his name on to the minds of football fans around the world with one of the goals of the 1998 FIFA World Cup™.
It was a moment that took the breath away as Owen, with the insouciance of youth, raced through the Argentina defence and fired a bullet shot into the top corner of Carlos Roa’s goal as if scoring a wonder goal in the FIFA World Cup finals was the most natural thing in the world. England lost that second-round match, but Owen was now a global star.

In the intervening eight years, he has experienced many things – trophies with Liverpool, transfers to Real Madrid and Newcastle United, and injuries which have lessened fractionally his once-lightning speed – yet throughout this time he has not stopped doing what he started back in 1998, scoring for England.

Owen grew up supporting Everton, the club where his father Terry once played, yet it was with their local rivals Liverpool that he learnt his trade. His goals helped Liverpool win the 1996 FA Youth Cup and the following year he made a goalscoring debut in a Premiership match at Wimbledon, aged 17 years and 143 days.

Owen’s form in first full season in the Premiership was remarkable, the youngster netting 18 times in 36 league appearances, and it earned him his first England cap just nine months after his Liverpool debut, against Chile in February 1998. His first goal for England followed not long afterwards, in a friendly against Morocco on the eve of France 98.

He started the finals that summer on the bench but after his scoring turn as a substitute in a 2-1 defeat by Romania, then manager Glenn Hoddle could no longer ignore his claims. Eight days later, with that goal against Argentina, the whole world knew about him.

Owen has enjoyed plenty of high points since in an England shirt. In September 2001 he struck a hat-trick as England beat Germany 5-1 in a FIFA World Cup qualifier in Munich. The following summer he found the net against Denmark and Brazil as England reached the FIFA World Cup quarter-finals in Korea/Japan.

He was on target three times in qualifying for Germany 2006 and in his final appearance of 2005 scored two headers against Argentina to give Sven-Goran Eriksson’s side a morale-boosting 3-2 friendly win – and leave himself with 35 goals from 75 international appearances. Only three players have recorded more goals for England.

Owen’s finest hour to date at club level came in 2000/01 when his two late goals won the FA Cup for Liverpool against Arsenal. He also picked up League Cup and UEFA Cup winner’s medals that season and ended the year by becoming the first Englishman since Kevin Keegan 22 years earlier to collect the European Footballer of the Year award.

By the time Owen left Liverpool in 2004 to join Real Madrid, he had scored 118 times in 216 league appearances for the Reds. He maintained his impressive strike rate in Madrid, where despite making only 20 league starts, he claimed 13 goals. However, frustration at his limited opportunities meant Owen returned to England in August 2005 to join Newcastle United.

Owen, whose principal pastime away from football is horse-racing, has had an injury-hit year at Newcastle but after recovering from a broken metatarsal, he will be raring to go in Germany.

Forty years too long for England

The first nation of football and the global distributor of the game, England are long on passion but short on actual prizes with their 1966 FIFA World Cup™ success on home soil still their only major tournament triumph.
Summer 2006 will mark the passing of four decades since Bobby Moore lifted the Jules Rimet trophy but England will travel to Germany among the favourites despite a qualifying campaign that, while largely comfortable, did provide a bump or two towards the end. After opening with a 2-2 draw in Austria, Sven-Goran Eriksson’s side won six games in succession before suffering an embarrassing 1-0 loss to Northern Ireland on 7 September 2005.

Add a 4-1 friendly defeat in Denmark a month earlier and England’s credentials were suddenly open to question yet Eriksson’s team responded with home victories over Austria and Poland that secured them first place in Group 6 with a record of eight victories and just one defeat in ten matches.

England have made eleven previous FIFA World Cup™ finals appearances, starting with their debut at Brazil 1950. Since the glory of 1966, however, the furthest they have travelled in the competition was to the semi-finals in 1990, where they lost on penalties to West Germany. Four years ago in Korea/Japan, they were losing quarter-finalists for the fifth time, going down 2-1 to Brazil having taken the lead through a Michael Owen goal.

Two years later they fell at the same hurdle at the UEFA European Championship in Portugal, beaten on penalties by the hosts, but found some consolation in the explosive form of the then 18-year-old Wayne Rooney. Now 20, this prodigiously gifted forward is already established as the player the national team look to for inspiration.

Rooney is not the only world-class talent in a side that also boasts striker Owen and the midfield trio of David Beckham, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard. In defence too England are strong with John Terry emerging as a genuine contender for a central role alongside Rio Ferdinand or Sol Campbell.

Swedish coach Eriksson has been in charge since 2000 and has not enjoyed a finer hour than England’s 5-1 win in Germany in a FIFA World Cup qualifier in September 2001. The question is whether he can rekindle that magic when they return there next summer.

劳朗尔安： 英国的全称是 大不列颠联合王国,原来叫做大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国,因为其附属国之一的北爱尔兰独立了. 英文写作:The United Kingdom of Great Britain 英国一直以来就分为英格兰威尔士苏格兰和北爱尔兰四个附属国,他们在行政上有很大的独立性.(现在北爱尔兰独立了) 英格兰威尔士苏格兰和北爱尔作为独立的世界杯参赛国和FIFA会员,是从1990年开始的. 确切的说,1966年的英国世界杯,冠军球队应该是英国,英格兰球服上的星不应该有的. 英格兰的国旗是个红十字 . 由于英国的首都和政府在伦敦,同时也是英格兰的首都,再加上,英格兰是英国最大的也是最强的附属国,所以,人们会用英格兰代替英国的.
