1930 FIFA World Cup[]
England chose not to attend the world cup in 1930 due to the high cost of the trip over to Uruguay. The hosts offered a position in the tournament to the Football Association for the Home Nations however this offer was rejected.
1934 FIFA World Cup[]
For the second year running England chose not to attend even with the tournament being held within Europe.
1938 FIFA World Cup[]
England continued their trend of not participate in the world cup.
1950 FIFA World Cup[]
The first time the British nations were invited in which they accepted the offer to participate after 17 years of self-imposed exile. It was agreed that the top two teams in the 1949-50 British Home Championship would qualify. The top 2 teams were England and Scotland however Scotland withdrew as they were not the champions leaving England the only representative.
England were the favourites for the tournament however after 1 – 0 to the United States and a 1 – 0 to Spain led to England being eliminated in the first round.
