Would you rather be Russian or English this morning?

I would rather be the one that has actually won a number of tourney's as opposed to one that has little to nothing to show for it at senior level. How many trophies have the S.E won in their entire history?
Oh you find out Benin's population when they meet you on the field like I am sure you know Angola's population
