There is no British team - for historical reasons, England has pride of place as the land that invented football - leading it to become the world’s most popular sport.

That said, it takes nothing away from their superb performance in Russia this summer. They acquitted themselves well.

The smart money for next week is on England.

Still I wonder how many World Cups a UK team would have won. Imagine Georgie Best in his prime on a UK team.

Especially with all the injuries suffered by the Croatian team.
