England Fan Got A ‘England World Cup Winner 2026’ Tattoo Before The Argentina Game

There’s always one football fan who gets a premature tattoo at every World Cup, and sure enough we’ve now got this guy who spent £550 on ink declaring England winners despite the probability it was going to age very badly.

Sean Carrington, from Manchester, got the tattoo after being blown away by England’s 2-1 win v DR Congo earlier in the tournament…

Of course, England ended up crashing out of the World Cup v Argentina last night, but not to worry – Sean has a plan.

He’s going to get “just kidding” added under the tattoo – problem solved!

Sean told the BBC: ‘I’m just impulsive really.

‘The longer it goes on in your head the more you talk yourself out of it.’

‘It’s not the end of the world, it’s just a tattoo.

‘I called the shop and they were busy but when I explained what I wanted the lady said ‘wow yeah I’ll fit you in’.’

Alternatively, he could just erase 202 and change it to 1966, although the Cup is wrong so maybe that wouldn’t work. Maybe he could hold onto it for another 4 years and hope we win it in 2030, then change accordingly? Or maybe just get the whole thing lasered off completely.

In the end, he would have better off putting that £550 on a bet for a England to win and then he could have got the ink + profit if England pulled it off.

As it turned out he would still have lost the money, but at least he wouldn’t have the embarrassing tattoo at the end of it.
