Man spends £40,000 house deposit to support father's World Cup dream

Jack Goodwin has invested his £40,000 house deposit on a comprehensive trip for he and his father to follow the England national team during the World Cup. The trip includes match tickets, hotels, and flights to every possible match until the final scheduled for July 19 in New Jersey, USA. Goodwin, an England supporter, has spent about £4,000 for a ticket to the final and expressed excitement about the knockout game's potential against the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He acknowledged the risk involved, as ticket validity depended on England topping their group, which they successfully achieved despite a tense group-stage match against Panama. Goodwin characterized this experience as a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
