The real answer is: soon enough to be exciting, far enough to plan your life around it. You can book your flights to New York, Toronto, or Mexico City now. Or you can just stay home, order takeaway, and scream at the telly.
Remember: England’s next world cup match will be played on a pitch in North America. It might be in a dome. It might be in 40°C heat. But one thing’s certain: it will be a spectacle.
And when that whistle blows? You’ll forget every boring Tuesday you waited through. So, keep the kettle ready, your lucky socks on, and your eyes on the calendar. The wait is worth it.
