Jack Goodwin, from Chichester, says he uses his £40,000 house deposit to fund a trip for himself and his father to watch England at the 2026 World Cup in the United States. Multiple outlets report that he has already arranged key travel and match arrangements, including flights, hotels and tickets. Goodwin says his bookings cover games England can play up to and including the final, with one reported schedule stating accommodations and tickets are booked through July 19, the date of the final in New Jersey. According to the BBC and other coverage, he describes the trip as a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” for him and his father. Reports consistently frame the spending as a deliberate choice to prioritize watching the “Three Lions” at the tournament rather than keeping the house deposit intact. The accounts do not cite any official figures beyond Goodwin’s statements, focusing instead on his personal description of how the money is being spent and the extent of his pre-booked arrangements.
