Maybe our female monarch didn't do us a favour when fending off the Spanish Armada. We could all now be on the winning side if it hadn't been for Queen Elizabeth I.

I take it that your post is praising QE1, protecting England's shores and being a capable and formidable leader.
Anyone without an axe to grind, would surely accept, the best person,to undertake any job or task, regardless of gender.

Conversely or adversely, if Hitler had succeeded in 1945 would we have won 4 or 5 World Cup Titles instead of 1?
Not a stimulating topic or prospect.

Just think if Bonnie Prince Charlie hadn't turned back at Derby... we would never be anywhere near a final!

I don't think you can actually use this as a measure anyway, because we never won a World Cup when the Romans were here, but we have since they left... same for the Vikings.
