I nearly added that we had a qualifying group which was so benign it was almost laughable. Basically we got to the World Cup semis playing one half decent side which was Belgium to whom we lost and even that didn't matter! Before the tournament if I told you we were going to lose in the semi-final to the team that looked the best team after the group’s stages, would you have taken it? I know I would. We improved with each game until we met Croatia when we looked tired. Nobody expected us to get very far so we exceeded expectations. Unfortunately, our our hopes went up after we reached the semis and were dashed when we faced a better team. Even then we nearly pulled it off because we were only 60 seconds from playing in the final. I am very satisfied with our performance even if we sumbled in the home stretch. This England team has a spirit not seen in a long time. They are young and let’s not forget that the long-term goal of the FA is to build for 2022. I’d say we’ve built a very firm foundation. I agree but 2020 is also important. The European championship never gets the attention it merits. Also the next time they will have to handle something they didn't this time. Expectation.

Even though the only thing to play for is bragging rights, both countries have named strong starting line-ups and look like they intend to put on a show. Now the only decision to make is should I watch football or tennis😜

Dier, Jones and Fabian stealth shouldn't be anywhere near the squad.

Pickford tried to use his feet instead of just being a keeper, an easy save that really.
