Unless your name is Mowgli and you live with a pack of wolves you must be aware of something called the World Cup.

The world’s biggest sporting event, with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the 2006 final; the tournament sees 32 teams battle it out for the trophy.

Football as we know it was formalised in England in 1863 when the Laws of the Game were created. Despite this long-standing relationship with the game, we do however seem to be unable to bring home the cup, bar our one victory in 1966 of course.

In an attempt to encourage our team and bring some luck to the squad why not pop on some patriotic clothing to show your support.
Here is our pick of ways to back the boys in a stylish and feminine way.

Peacocks have an entire range of World Cup related items including this super cute Mickey Mouse tee for £12, which offers a simple way to get in the football spirit.

New Look also have an full line dedicated to the World Cup including swimwear, shorts and tees like this funky English Bulldog tee (£8), which is cute and individual.

Boohoo are offering some items that will definitely speak volumes of your support – such as this England 2010 racer back vest (£6). Another, right on trend option is this crop tee, also from Boohoo (£8). It’s cute and fashionable declaring England as the keeper of your heart.

So, if you don’t know what the offside rule is and you’re more upset by the absence of WAGs than Rio Ferdinand, there are still some ways to get involved – even if it’s just to fit in down the pub!
