This year's tournament in Germany is the 18th World Cup with England seeking to repeat their triumphant victory on home soil in 1966.

In 76 years there have been countless memories from the competition that every nation strives to win; from the sublime Brazil in Mexico 1970 to the incredible comeback by a Eusebio-inspired Portugal at Goodison Park in '66.

There have been many notable surprises despite the high-level of football on show, as Senegal and Cameroon have proved in recent tournaments you can take nothing for granted.
