How the clue works
This is a brilliantly playful clue. The word "over" appears exactly eleven times, and an over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over — that is, eleven times over — is ELEVENFOLD. The answer breaks down as ELEVEN (an England team, as in cricket or football, consists of eleven players) plus FOLD (meaning "collapse"). The whole clue simultaneously defines the answer through the repeated "over" and builds it from "England" = ELEVEN and "collapse" = FOLD.
