There is actually already a concept in the way you want it, it's called the Nasazzi's Baton. Jose Nasazzi was the captain of the Urugayan team that won the first World Cup. You can see that list at: www.rsssf.com/miscellaneous/nasazzibaton.html |

konradsenf, the whole point of the UFWC is that it goes back to the very beginning of international football, unlike the World Cup. At that time Scotland and England were the only international teams in existence, so the winner of the first match could safely claim to be the Unofficial Football World Champions, and everything follows on from there. Beginning at the first World Cup would be extremely unfair as the tournament was an invite-only affair and, due to political and economic reasons, many countries were left uninvited or unable to attend. You can read more about the rationale behind the rules in the UFWC book: www.ufwc.co.uk/book.html |

konradsenf, your point may have been more valid if neither Scotland nor England had been UFWC's since then, but as you can see they have. Also, if you don't start at the beginning where do you start? The World Cup didn't atart at the beginning. What about all of the games before then? Oh, before I forget, I am biased ;-)
