What It Would Be Like If England Actually Won The World Cup

No more years of hurt.

People won't quite be able to believe that England have done it.

But then the celebrations begin.

Some are completely lost for words.

But a party mood grips the whole nation.

This gets a bit much for some people.

There will be demands for knighthoods for everybody on the England team.

Of course, not everybody is entirely happy. Scotland, for example.

Wales tries to hide.

Centuries-old national rivalries will be settled at last.

A special Roy Hodgson series of bank notes will be rushed into production.

Large bronze statues of the players will be installed in cities across the country.

Everything changes.

And it never rains ever again.

But gradually, the party atmosphere wears off.

Things start to go... a bit wrong.

And in the end, it changes the course of British history forever.

But we'll always have 2014. And it's not like we'll still be going on about it almost half a century later...
