Back to being an idiot I see, couple of little digs eh.cant help yourself can you. If you'd actually bothered reading what I'd written you'd probably not respondent with the rather childish 'except for the small fact Belgium and France are better' I never said they weren't,in fact I said sometimes as Argentina and Italy for eg sometimes it's not the best teams who win. Also it is not a 'fact' that either France or Belgium are better and it's totally possible we COULD beat them. I get the impression it'd actually give you pleasure to see England lose? Getting a whiff of vitriol from you a bit like a few bitter jocks I know tend to but that's possible just your general demeanour.Balham_Green":t8cl87u5 said:Ave_IT":t8cl87u5 said:Good point - Germany, Argentina & Italy have made it to finals in the past with bog-standard average teams when much better sides went home earlier. This time nobody - literally nobody - look like 'world beaters' although somebody obviously has to be crowned as such. Makes for a fascinating tournament though and exciting for us - I think we can genuinely beat anybody or get beaten by anybody that's left. It really is 'up for grabs'.with-menace":t8cl87u5 said:To be fair the Belgium game was a dead rubber( I bet Belgium wish they'd finished second now) other than that you can only beat who's in front of you. Are we the best team? No.oldage":t8cl87u5 said:We beat two weak teams, lost to Belgium and scrapped home against Colombia.
Since 1966 England have promised much but delivered nothing and this is unlikely to change any time soon. I don't rate Southgate .Tin hat at the ready!
Is this even the best England team of recent past? No.
How many times have we seen a frankly crap Italian or Argentina side reaching the final though ?
I think that's why we could do it.
You really think we could beat Belgium or France? Calm down dear.
You can come back shrieking with delight when England inevitably lose because I sense you'd much rather massage that ego and see us lose than be wrong.
