Determined Brits are spending their life savings travelling to the World Cup despite facing eye-wateringly expensive tickets, extreme heat and long-distance journeys.

Fans of the Three Lions are hoping their journey will finish in glory on July 19 by ending 60 years of hurt and winning the World Cup for the first time since 1966.
