Don't agree with this England did well or over achieved rubbish !! How did they over achieve ? Based on who they played and won/lost to they did exactly what I expected them to do, it just so happens the freak of nature that made all of the big boys crash out of the tournament early allowed England to get to the semi final.
But as already said, England beat some shit teams. I think there are 5 tiers of tournament international football:
Tier 1 - Spain, Germany, Brazil etc
Tier 2 - France, Netherlands, Italy etc
Tier 3 - England, Croatia, Sweden etc
Tier 4 - Bulgaria, Nigeria, S Korea etc
Tier 5 - Panama, Cyprus, Finland etc
England will almost always lose to tier 1 and 2 teams. They will be 50/50 against other tier 3 teams. They will almost always beat tier 4 and 5 teams. The England team are average, they like to think they can hang with the big boys but they can't. The cheek of the commentator yesterday, "England have proved they can mix it with anyone in the world now"
You absolute cock !
The big boys will have 2 or 3 talismanic players, some have 3 or 4. England had Harry Kane, stop Harry Kane and England flop. England were a set piece team and that ultimately was their undoing. Delle Alli proved just how shit he is, Sterling created next to nothing - albeit he was England's most threatening player, Lingard apart from his goal did nothing.
