'Practically the whole of Scotland' is a disappointing assumption from you SH. I know quite a few Scots ( myself included ) who enjoyed the England WC journey.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I will not lie and say I wanted England to win, but I was not going to lose any sleep if they did. They played well to get to the semi. Came close in the first half to booking a place in the final as I don't think Croatia would have come back from 2 goals down. If they had beaten Croatia and then a decent French team then it would have been deserved.
Only thing I would say SH, is I get the feeling that some in the England camp and I include supporters and pundits in that, think this is the start of a 'Golden Generation' just because they have some young players. What I saw of them would not indicate that they have the midfield players to dominate in the latter stages of major tournaments. But only time will tell.
A few National teams will have to rebuild, including Germany, Holland and Spain so there is a chance that a young England might get the jump on them.
Scotland? Taxi !!!

Agreed, not really having the golden generation thing either, potentiallly a decent team but other nations will also be rebuilding and looking at their own disappointments especially the so called big boys that did not quality.
Golden opportunity rather than Golden generation in my opinion.

Anyway not all folk in Scotland were wetting themselves, not one bit of me thought England would win it. You beat Panama, needed a last min winner against Tunisia, you lost against Belgium and beat one of the worst Swedish sides I’ve ever seen. But in your defence can only beat what’s in front of you so for that the boys done very well as they are still young and handled these games the right way.
When proper tested last night the cracks showed big time, and if you did go through the French would have taken more than a couple off this English side. It’s been a good World Cup I’ve enjoyed it and the banter between English and Scots fans.
But when the dust settles England were just an average side who beat the teams they should be beating and lost to the only ones who tested them.Last edited by Thecat23; 12-07-2018 at 04:31 PM.

This easy route thing is a myth. Does it make 21-05-2016 any less valid because we beat a (at the time) fellow Championship team? Because we didn’t beat Celtic on the way?

If you conflate getting to the semi-final with “England are top 4 in the world” then it’s definitely not a myth. People aren’t saying getting to the semis isn’t an amazing achievement, they’re saying it doesn’t make England world beaters. They’re still a very average side (relative to the top teams).

If Belgium really hump them here it will definitely take the shine off England’s majestic, against-all-odds run.

England's 3 lion defence are already home by the looks of it.
There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

just tuned in, c'mon Belgium, far more deserved of 3rd spot than that shower of thoroughly embarrassingly over-rated p@sh

It's clear England are on holiday now. They will never win anything wearing that red shirt.

England can barely get a touch of the ball here. Playing against decent sides has certainly shown them up for what they are.

Overrated. Just like Greggs cheese and onion pasties.
