Ha, he was saying we were arrogant the other day for expecting our route to the final to be easy when we lost to Belgium.

Given the teams on our side of the draw there is a chance we could stumble our way through to the final, but Tuesday night showed we are just as capable of fluffing our lines. We were the better team but it could have gone a different way.

That said, I have spent much of today humming Three Lions to myself and am, despite my better judgement, falling into the trap of believing we could get to the final, if not win the thing.

Not sure I could cope with watching England in a World Cup Final

I'm going to see Paul Simon in Hyde Park that evening so a day of:
Watching England winning the World Cup and then Paul Simon would be unbelievably brilliant.
Losing the World Cup final though would just put me in a bad mood for the latter.
Easiest all round if we're not in it at all, but obviously I still hope we are.

Cometh the hour and all that. We could lose this, but we could also win it. Will we go forth in glory or come home with a tag of glorious failure?

We need Sterling, Kane and Lingard to step it up a bit, well a lot. Despite being leading goal scorer (How many penalties?) Kane has not really produced as much as he can, time to play a captain's game. Sterling runs around like a headless chuck and misses too many chances, Rashford blew his claim to start v Belgium. Anyway

He’s better at making runs in to score. But if no one is there to put him in then he’s pointless.

Lingard is the only player who looks comfortable linking play and moving fluidly between positions. But even then he's extremely inconsistent and technically unreliable.

But England can only beat whatever they're up against and so far they're winning the play-offs.

Another great post. I must say for a new poster you have really established yourself on the forum, probably the 2nd best poster on the forum, behind me.

Southgate has finally got England playing good football and you can see a clear system. He's created good team spirit amongst the players and tactically we're the best we've been for years. The team has really reconnected with England fans. This is what happens when you appoint a young, forward thinking manager instead of a dinosaur. That newspaper sting was the best thing to happen to us.

His decisions have been spot on, from dropping Rooney and going in a new direction, to the way he handled the leaked team a few weeks ago. The players believe in him and we're now in the semi final of a world cup.

Southgate :bow:
