Noted pundit and commentator Mark Perryman takes the pulse of an England away crowd as we approach one of the biggest tournaments for years: the 2006 World Cup, forty years after England's triumph, hosted by the old enemy, Germany. He finds that although young working-class white men still make up the majority of fans, they are far less likely to be the hooligans of the 1970s and 80s and much more likely to be singing and chanting alongside black, Asian and women fans of the national team. Both celebration and exploration, "Ingerland" is a thought-provoking and evocative account of what it means to support the national team, and what that says about England's place in an increasingly disunited Kingdom.
