World Cup glory: If England finally manage to win the World Cup, there will undoubtedly be huge celebrations across the country.
Fans and pundits alike would likely demand that manager Thomas Tuchel is appropriately rewarded for ending years of hurt.
Sir Alf Ramsey precedent: When the Three Lions last lifted the Jules Rimet trophy back in 1966, legendary manager Sir Alf Ramsey received a knighthood a year later.
This historic precedent means calls for Tuchel to receive the exact same honour would grow loud if football indeed comes home.
Honorary award status: While foreign nationals, such as the German coach, can receive knighthoods from the British monarch, they face slightly different regulations.
