In a European league based on international qualifiers, England would be fourth.
With the Three Lions playing in Slovenia on Sunday as they continue in their bid for qualification for next summer's European Championships, the Trinity Mirror Data Unit have taken a look back to see which countries have had the best qualifying records over recent years.
To find out, the qualifying records of each country over the last six World Cup and European Championship qualifying campaigns, which takes us back to the Germany 2006 qualifiers 10 years ago, have been collated into one "super qualifying league".
Top of that league would be reigning world champions, Germany.
The three time European champions have a points per game ratio of 2.6, more than any other country.
As hosts of the World Cup in 2006 they've played fewer qualifiers than most countries over the last 10 years, but have won 38 of their 47 qualifiers, giving them a win ratio of 81 per cent.
The Netherlands have a points per game ratio of 2.5, the same as Spain, though the Dutch have a slightly better win ratio than the Spanish at 81% as opposed to 79%.

England would then come joint fourth with Italy.
Both sides have averaged 2.4 points per game in their respective qualifiers, though England's win ratio stands at 73% as opposed to Italy's 70%.
Croatia, who pipped England to the European Championships in 2008, come fifth with a points per game ratio of 2.2.
Bottom of the league come Gibraltar and San Marino.
Gibraltar's qualifying history is just five games old.
The 2016 European Championships in France are the first major international tournament that the disputed territory have entered and have so far lost all of their five matches, conceding an average of 5.4 goals a game in the process.
San Marino have also failed to win a single competitive match in their Euro 2016 qualifiers, and have in fact failed to win a competitive match in their entire history.
