World Cup fever is well and truly here, with many people digging out their football shirts, packing out pubs to watch every goal and suddenly becoming experts in team tactics. It is a month-long commitment taken seriously by the nations, but Ian Odgers and Andy Milne are even more extreme in their devotion.
The England superfans make it a non-negotiable to station themselves at tournaments so they can be on the ground watching the team’s bid for glory. Speaking from the USA, they share why they spend so much time, money and effort supporting the Three Lions.
