David Cameron congratulated the England football team on qualification at Prime Minister's Questions.
David Cameron insists he can always dream and hope the UK will get behind England at next year’s World Cup.
He offered his congratulations to Roy Hodgson’s team after they secured their place at international football’s most prestigious competition with a 2-0 win against Poland.
But Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all failed to progress from their qualifying groups, leaving England as the only home nation competing in Brazil next summer.
Mr Cameron told MPs during Prime Minister’s Questions: “I’m sure the whole House will wish to join me in congratulating the England football team for their excellent win last night, ensuring they qualify for next year’s World Cup.
“My commiserations to the other home nations, including Scotland, who had an impressive win over Croatia last night. But I’m sure now that everyone in the United Kingdom will swing behind the English team.”
Pausing while MPs cheered and laughed, Mr Cameron then added: “You can always dream and hope.”
