Welcome to englandstats

We are striving to make sure that all data on Englandstats is derived from verified contemporary sources. We have three aims for our sourcing. Firstly, that we can verify our data alongside at least one independent source from any means. Secondly, to augment that with one contemporary source per match and lastly, to have, at least, two contemporary sources per match. Our research currently stands at:
100.00% of 2,271 match and player pages are verified with one source.
64.23% of 1012 matches are verified with at least one contemporary source and 37.65% are verified with two or more contemporary sources.
We currently have 5,410 sources.

England could potentially play six of seven games at Wembley
Following the recent news that Dublin will not be ready to host it's Euro 2020/1 games without fans, it is likely that its current intended three group stage and last-16 ties will be moved to new venues. The last-16 tie is currently earmarked to move to Wembley which hosts the winner of Group D - which includes England, Croatia, Czech Republic and Scotland. If this switch is confirmed England have a potential route to the final which would include six games at Wembley with only a quarterfinal elsewhere - Rome.

Home games against Austria and Romania
The FA have announced two friendlies in early June as England's warm-up for the delayed Euro 2020. Whilst the venues have not been confirmed yet, the Three Lions will face Austria on 2nd June and Romania 4 days later. Austria qualified for the finals as group G runner-up behind Poland whilst Romania missed out after finishing fourth in group F. Both will be excellent foils as England prepare to face Czech Republic, Croatia and Scotland.
Romania are one of only five teams that have a better head-to-head record over England and their meeting in June will be the first for 21 years since Romania knocked England out of Euro 2000 with a late Ganea penalty. Phil Neville look away now!

Old friends meet again
Nothing new in today's World Cup draw as England were confirmed in Group I with Poland, Hungary, Albania, Andorra and San Marino, all of whom England have met before at this stage. Poland are the oldest of frenemies at the 7th time of asking. For both Albania and San Marino it will be the third time, whilst Hungary & Andorra the second. That's 24 previous World Cup qualifying meetings for England with this group. England should be well versed and well scouted.
First matches are due to start in March 2021.

Ireland, Belgium and Iceland
England take on Republic of Ireland, Belgium and Iceland this coming week whilst we will also find out the final group opponent for England at Euro 2020. Firstly, the Three Lions will play Ireland at Wembley on Thursday in a hastily rearranged friendly match - England were due to play New Zealand, but they dropped out last month citing COVID restrictions. England haven't beaten Ireland since 1985 with the last five out of six games draws.
On Sunday, England travel to Brussels to play the return fixture against Belgium in UEFA's Nations League. England won 2-1 in London in October.
The final game is against Iceland and at time of writing the venue is still in doubt. The match was planned to take place at Wembley but due to new COVID restrictions on travel from Denmark - Iceland play there on Sunday - the game has been put into doubt. Germany and Albania could be potential alternatives.
Meanwhile Serbia host Scotland in the Euro2020 playoff on Thursday to decide which team will complete Group D at Euro 2020 along with England, Czech Republic and Croatia.
