Has any English football player ever scored a own goal in any World Cup ?

Question

Ok I supposed I should have asked who it was...

Hibee
In any game in the actual World Cup

Answer 1

actually there was none.

the goal which WEST GERMANY scored during the semi-finals of the 1990 FIFA World Cup was credited to Andreas Brehme according to the FIFA match report.

Answer 2

Very provocative question - DO YOU THINK that England will EVENTUALLY BE BANNED from such EVENTS AS the World Cup? --- I'm under the mistaken impression that England is going to be banned sooner or later .... Why ??!! Because they can't perform on the field? That's too much to ask for .... Because of their fans ? HAH ! That would be a first !! I suppose banning true fans of the game will accomplish a wider audience! Who am i kidding?! This whole post is absurd ... Football has always had supporters and some tend to get a lot more involved than the average fan - So they're passionate about the game !! If it's violence you're worried about - try a caged environment, or private viewing booths or a STRINGENT security system that lets only those with nothing to hide enter .... You get the idea by now, don't ya?

The FIFA World Cup, sometimes called the football World Cup or the soccer World Cup, but usually referred to simply as the World Cup, is an international football competition contested by the men's national football teams of member nations of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) (the sport's global governing body). The championship has been awarded every four years since the first tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946, due to World War II. However, the event is often ongoing, as the qualifying rounds of the competition take place over the three years preceding the final rounds. Since 1991, FIFA has also held the Women's World Cup on a similar four-year schedule.

The tournament's final phase (often called the "World Cup Finals") involves thirty-two national teams competing at several venues (within the host nation or nations) over a period of about a month. It is the most widely-viewed sporting event in the world, with 1.1 billion people watching the 2002 tournament final.[1]

In eighteen tournaments held, only seven nations have won. Brazil is the most successful World Cup team, having won the tournament five times. The current Cup holder, Italy, follows with four titles, while Germany holds three. The other former champions are Uruguay and Argentina with two titles each, and England and France with one title each. Of the ten World Cups staged in Europe, only one saw victory by a non-European team, that being Brazil in 1958. When held outside Europe, the competition has only been won by South American teams. Only two teams from outside these two continents have ever reached the semi-finals of the competition: the USA (in 1930) and South Korea (in 2002).

The most recent football World Cup Finals were held between June 9 and July 9, 2006 in Germany, where Italy were crowned champions after beating France 1-1 (5-3) in a penalty shoot-out
