OK so Saudi Arabia clearly don’t have one...
But more seriously here is something to ponder over; of the billions of prayers going up for each of the teams, who’s prayers do you think God will respond to?
If he responds to prayers from supporters of more than one team would that be disingenuous?
If he goes by “the prayers of a righteous man” (or woman) criteria, does he then by default give a false response hope to those who support that team but who failing on the “righteousness” level?
And what about the prayers of the “righteous” who support other teams?
Thoughts?

Obviously, God supports England, it is, therefore, prudent for the righteous to do likewise.

No. It cures people from being stupid, and from mocking God with meaningless questions about praying for games in a forum about spiritual matters.
Get the cure, or lose the game.

And let's face it folks. If England is on the side of any entity today, it would be the pagan moon god, Allah.
For my wife's sake, viva Mexico!!!
