Why the use of the acronym GBR @Hivebuzz? They stand for United Kingdom (Great Britain) and are not used in Football, the correct one is ENG.... GBR doesn't have a national team.

Glad i'm not the only one who picked up on that! ENG, not GBR!
GBR is actually "Great Britain" only Scotland, England and Wales, they include N.Ireland as part of the "United Kingdom"
Dear @jossduarte, sorry for this late reply. We have been quite busy last
few daysmonths 😅The official ISO 3166 code for England is GB-ENG. If you look at the 3 letters ISO code list from the ISO website, you will notice that England doesn't have its own 3 letters code, hence why we used GBR. If the ENG code had been listed, we would have used it without hesitation. We could have changed it but we fear breaking our scripts. We hope your patriotic notions survived it.
