I reckon it should be made official. It's a fun title to have.

UFWC lineage goes right back to the very first international football match in 1872, between Scotland and England in Glasgow. As Scotland and England were the only international teams in existence, the winner of this initial match could safely claim to be the best side in the world

seems legit

If they defeat Costa Rica in their "dead rubber" match, they'll regain the title of Unofficial Football World Champion.

This is an (obviously) unofficial title going back to the first ever international match between England & Scotland, where the winner of a match featuring the current holder takes (or retains) the title. In the event of a draw, the current holder retains the title.

For record, Australia has held the title once, when we defeated the USA 1-0 in 1992, only to lose 2-0 to Argentina four days later (http://www.ufwc.co.uk/results/1967-1999/).
