Brits with ‘home stadium fever’ spend millions to watch the World Cup in style

As England fans prepare for a World Cup taking place more than 3,000 miles away, many are working to recreate a stadium atmosphere in the comfort of their own homes. New research suggests millions of people have upgraded their TVs, broadband and living rooms ahead of the tournament, which is being held across Canada, Mexico and the United States. According to the findings, 28% of people in the UK - which would amount to more than 15 million - have invested in home improvements such as larger televisions, enhanced sound systems and faster broadband.
