England's World Cup Qualification Campaign Marks a Rare feat for European Men's Teams. England has joined an exclusive club by qualifying for the upcoming World Cup without conceding a single goal in their qualifying campaign.
Since 1934, several women's teams have achieved this impressive record with perfect clean sheets during the qualification process. These include four different English women's national team campaigns in 2023 and previous years' tournaments like Germany Women's campaign before Euro '95.
In contrast, only a handful of men's European teams have managed to achieve the same feat throughout their World Cup qualifying campaigns. England is currently the first men's European team to do so.
Germany, under Hans-Dieter Flick's management in 2018, also achieved this record with three wins and two draws from ten matches.
The Netherlands and Spain have enjoyed similar success in previous years' tournaments.

. A clean sheet streak is nothing new for women's teams, btw... like, Germany Women's did it back in '95, and England Ladies have done it a few times too 
. But still, props to the lads for managing to not concede a single goal 
. Can't say the same for their opponents, though... those qualification matches were pretty intense 
. Guess you could say they've finally found their groove or something 
️. Still wouldn't mind seeing them put it all on the line in the actual tournament, though 
.
.
. Four different English women's team campaigns in 2023 alone? That's just insane! You gotta respect their hard work and dedication 
.
. Either way, this is shaping up to be an epic tournament! 
First time ever a men's European team goes the whole qualifying campaign without giving up a single goal... that's some serious squad cohesion and defense skills on display 
. Germany was close, but that was 7 years ago so you gotta give credit where credit is due to England for breaking this record! 
. The women's teams have been doing it for years, and now the guys are finally joining the party 
!
. It shows how far the game has progressed and how good the teams are becoming. But let's not get too excited just yet
