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/).

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