It's called World War Two for a start, even I can do mathematics at that level.
Everyone know they didn't have bombers, they had tanks, and those tanks had lots of gears, all reverse.
Given the the loss of national styles (4-4-fucking-2 vs Dutch flair etc), the internet ruining any surprises and the boom in trave/immigration etc isn't the concept of international football a bit of a pointless charade these days anyway? Money, obvs.
