England fans face one of the most grueling travel schedules if they want to follow their team to the World Cup final.
If the Three Lions win Group L and advance to the final, fans will have to travel 6,468.5 miles.
It starts in Dallas and ends in East Rutherford, with a total travel time of just under 19 hours.
The flight from Dallas to Foxborough for the second group game, and the trip to Mexico City and back between the round of 16 and the quarterfinals, account for most of it.
England would have fewer journeys as second in the group, with their journeys amounting to 5,970.4 miles and a total travel time of 18 and a half hours.
Portugal and Spain have it worse, although they stay in Houston and Atlanta, respectively, for their first two group stage games.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal will travel 6,781.9 miles with more than 22 hours in the air, while Spain will have to make trips for a total of 6,667.2 miles, which will last 18 hours and 15 minutes.
The French amateurs are the big winners, with only 2,675 miles on the clock, in 12 and a half hours. They even have the luxury of two short train trips between East Rutherford and Philadelphia. The 1,561-mile trip from Foxborough and Dallas for the semifinal represents more than half of the trip.
Mexico is in second place, largely because if it wins its group it would have three consecutive games at the Azteca, from the last group game until the round of 16 tie. Its total distance is 3,199.7 miles. With just over 10 hours, El Tri fans have the shortest travel time.
Third place is occupied by Germany, with 4,141.5 miles, which would mean a time of 15 and a half hours.
And what about Scotland? If they surprised Brazil and Morocco, won their group and reached the final, they would travel 6,083.3 miles in 18 hours.
If Scotland qualify second in the group, there will be a little more travel, at 6,248 miles, which is just over 18 hours.
