<P> England were eliminated in the first round for the first time since the 1958 Competition (Sweden). For the first time, they lost both their first two matches, and did not advance from the group stage . They had only one point (from a goalless draw with Costa Rica), and, following a 1--0 loss by Italy against Costa Rica, could not reach the knockout stage . </P> <P> England are one of only eight countries ever to win the World Cup, which they did in 1966 when they hosted the finals . They defeated West Germany 4--2 after extra time to win the World Cup title . Since then, they have generally reached the knockout stages of almost every competition they have qualified for, including a fourth - place finish in the 1990 World Cup . England also reached the semi final of the UEFA European Championship in 1968 and 1996 . They were the most successful of the "home nations", in the British Home Championship with 54 wins (including 20 shared wins) before the competition was suspended in 1984 . England have had more goalless draws than any other nation . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Year </Th> <Th> Round </Th> <Th> Position </Th> <Th> GP </Th> <Th> </Th> <Th> D * </Th> <Th> </Th> <Th> GF </Th> <Th> GA </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1930 to 1938 </Td> <Td_colspan="8"> Did not enter </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1950 </Td> <Td> Group Stage </Td> <Td> 8th </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1954 </Td> <Td> Quarter - finals </Td> <Td> 7th </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 8 </Td> <Td> 8 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1958 </Td> <Td> Group stage </Td> <Td> 11th </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1962 </Td> <Td> Quarter - finals </Td> <Td> 8th </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1966 </Td> <Td> Champions </Td> <Td> 1st </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> 11 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1970 </Td> <Td> Quarter - finals </Td> <Td> 8th </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1974 to 1978 </Td> <Td_colspan="8"> Did not qualify </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1982 </Td> <Td> Second group stage </Td> <Td> 6th </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1986 </Td> <Td> Quarter - finals </Td> <Td> 8th </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 7 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1990 </Td> <Td> Fourth place </Td> <Td> 4th </Td> <Td> 7 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 8 </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1994 </Td> <Td_colspan="8"> Did not qualify </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1998 </Td> <Td> Round of 16 </Td> <Td> 9th </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 7 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2002 </Td> <Td> Quarter - finals </Td> <Td> 6th </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2006 </Td> <Td> Quarter - finals </Td> <Td> 7th </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Round of 16 </Td> <Td> 13th </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2014 </Td> <Td> Group stage </Td> <Td> 26th </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2018 </Td> <Td> Qualified </Td> <Td> TBD </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2022 </Td> <Td> TBD </Td> <Td> TBD </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Total </Th> <Th> 15 / 21 </Th> <Th> 1 Title </Th> <Th> 62 </Th> <Th> 26 </Th> <Th> 20 </Th> <Th> 16 </Th> <Th> 79 </Th> <Th> 56 </Th> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> Year </Th> <Th> Round </Th> <Th> Position </Th> <Th> GP </Th> <Th> </Th> <Th> D * </Th> <Th> </Th> <Th> GF </Th> <Th> GA </Th> </Tr>
