Man spends £40k house deposit on dad's World Cup dream

An England supporter has spent his £40,000 house deposit to take his father to watch the Three Lions "win the World Cup". Jack Goodwin, from Chichester, West Sussex, said he had booked hotels, flights and tickets to every match England could play until the final in New Jersey, USA, on 19 July. He has spent about £4,000 on a ticket to the final, describing the trip as a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity". "We're going to see us bring the World Cup title home," the 34-year-old added. Speaking ahead of England's first knockout game against the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Goodwin said: "We're going to beat them 4-0." He described the potential of playing Mexico in the Azteca on Sunday as the "dream game of all games" and the "creme de la creme".
