So, if we were to pick an ultimate GB Dream Team, who would be in the squad itself? That's a topic of discussion that I'm sure will continue right up to until the first united ball is kicked.
The tireless Becks is a role model to all around him and his presence in the squad would inspire all those involved.

In theory, all British players should be eligible to play in major tournaments, however I'm sure that a starting line-up wouldn't consist of the strongest 11 available.
Even though a young, precocious Lionel Messi was part of the Argentina team in Beijing 2008, there was no major tournament that summer to preoccupy the diminutive Argentine.
However, England are hoping to be at Euro 2012 next summer, so we wouldn't necessarily expect to see Wayne Rooney, Jack Wilshere et al take to the field.
It has been reported that a long list of players will be drawn up and those included will be asked to confirm their interest and availability. I'm sure there will be a few Premier League managers who have something to say about this and risking upsetting the gaffer is not high on the agenda of many top players.
So for that reason you would need to look beyond the England regulars and more in the direction of the up-and-coming stars who are knocking on the door.
For my GB Football Dream Team, I am going to throw into the mix players from the nations who won't qualify for the Euros, which looks increasingly like it will be all but England. What will be of particular interest is who those wild card players could be?
As one of my squad wild cards, I would throw Kevin Davies' name into the hat. Unfairly labelled as a battering ram, his awareness of people around him and his overall game is so good that his solitary cap is scant reward for his services to the English game. This could be big Kev's last chance to show his ability on a big stage.
Wild card number two, my Premier League Player of the Season, Charlie Adam. The Scot made a big impression this year, with a number of match-winning performances. He narrowly failed in his quest to haul Blackpool to survival but that hasn't stopped him being one of the hottest transfer properties this summer.
I don't think Charlie would be out of place amongst those gunning for Champions League success. He will experience similar fates to Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey, fantastic talents who won't taste too much international tournament football throughout their careers. This surely makes him a possibility to make the cut in the Wash & Go GB Football Dream Team.
