    So how far will England get in WC 2018?

    It's getting to that exciting stage for England. As the media have stated, it's opened up for England to get to the final for a team who hasn't won a knock-out game at the World Cup since 2006, beating Ecuador 1-0. It's also opened up for five other teams in England's half of the draw.

    So how far will they get? Obviously, we all have our hopes on what happens next, but what do you think will happen next?

    So many in Scotland talk of England being delusional, but to state that Scotland would have qualified from the same world cup group as England is laughable, especially when Scotland did not even qualify for the world cup full stop. Your attempt to belittle England's achievements is par for the course from one with a huge anti-English chip on his shoulders. I'm a Scot and I really do cringe at the statements of some of my fellow countrymen and women.

    Saying that Tunisia and Panama would beat Scotland....Is more laughable.

    Why? Scotland have struggled against comparable teams. Nothing in the footballing form of our country suggests victory could be taken for granted against such nations. Though, as Scotland has never qualified for a major tournament in many years, this question is academic.

    My world cup just seems tae go from bad to worse.
    Now, dont get me wrong, england have played some decent fitba at times against weak opponents, and seem to have an easy ride to the semis, but, FFS will someone just knock them oot.

    unfortunately I think the teams they have in front of them means they can reach the final but for me they aren't strong enough to win it.

    They seem wide open to me to anyone going at pace down the middle.Unfortunately most teams they've played seem to want to fanny around back and forward in front of their defence.Far too many teams overplay the number of passes they make and end up getting nowhere other than the plane home.

    I don't think anyone can dispute the fact that every game from here on in is winnable for England. Whether they do our not is another matter! Nobody seems to be taking Switzerland or Sweden seriously, if they get through the Colombia game I can see them going out v the winner of that one.

    Todays BBC Breakfast 6 am to 6.25 am, 3 sections and 2 reports on England game, a total of 10 minutes.
    Tonight I will watch the game in pub with some English friends, avoiding the usual crap on TV.
    This World Cup has been great, still see Brazil as favourites, England get through tonight and they could make the final.

    its their best chance to win it in a long time, I think they will get to the Semi and Croatia will put them out.

    They could easily (and more or less equally) win or lose against anyone in their half of the draw. If they did get to the final they'd be underdogs but (as we know) every underdog has its day.

    Statistically speaking, if you consider all their possible remaining games as 50/50, then they have a 6.25% chance of winning the tournament.

    I think they’ll lose to Colombia tonight.

    Failing that I reckon the semis, ultimately though I think the winner will come from the other half of the draw.

    The draw has certainly opened up for them.

    Do they not owe the Russians a favour for their linesman’s help in 66!!?

    Seriously, they have a young talented team and Southgate seems level headed and calm.

    They have a good chance of going far. Trouble is it will raise expectations for the Euros and the gits in the Englsh media will start to get on their backs then.

    I agree although I’m telling myself Colombia can go all the way! Actually have a hunch Colombia will end up winning relatively comfortably tonight but that’s hunches for you!

    Exciting times for England and their fans, no doubt. First big test coming up and looking forward to seeing how it pans out.

    I can’t really see us winning it, I think the winners will come from France, Brazil or Belgium.

    I'm going todisagree with you & suggest they have goodish chance of going all the way.

    If they get past Columbia there’s a good chance of them going all the way to the final.

    Definitely the better half of the draw.

    I honestly think they'll lose tonight.

    They may get past Sweden but in reality and after the Columbia game, England are not good enough. Got extremely lucky against Columbia but do not not deserve their place thus far.
