LOVE IT or hate it the beautiful game has taken over the south by storm.

Hampshire is going football crazy in the build up to this year's much-awaited World Cup.

It has only been one day since the Daily Echo launched its quest to find the most decorated pub, bar, restaurant, car or home and already we have been inundated with calls.

Among those going England-crazy are staff and regulars at Chandler's Ford Central Club in Winchester Road, pictured.

The whole interior of the social club has been decked out in St George's flags and other patriotic decorations to show their support for Sven's men.

Ian Mcintyre, club president, said: "It was the committee's idea to cover the whole club in England flags and decorations and five of us did it in one day.

"Some of our Scottish customers are feeling a bit claustrophobic but our England fans love it!"

l Can you give the Chandler's Ford Central Club a run for its money or have you got big plans to celebrate the World Cup? The winner will receive their very own World Cup goodie bag.
