Throwing on an England football shirt and heading out to the pub isn’t such a straightforward choice these days.
Firstly, you need to find an England shirt you actually like - which, in recent years, hasn’t been so easy. Then you need to reconcile whether you’re comfortable spending money on it when, in all reality, we might go out in the quarters. Then you need to evaluate if you really want to be walking around in an England shirt (is it giving Cool Britannia? Or is it giving Nigel Farage?), blending in with a bunch of other people in England shirts.
