England had a massive golden opportunity to get to the finals. Being in the finals, well luck can play with us, we could have won!
HOWEVER, we must not praise England too much, why?
Four facts:
1. The easiest path to a finals, ever!
2. A young team is still developing, hopefully, BUT France's team are even younger!
3. So called other "great" teams were knocked out, under-performed, and were all on Belgium's side of the draw, see point 1.
4. Sterling, our second striker is very, very poor, he is a sprinter, not a football player. Check out his game against Croatia in the second half and his stats full stop.
Sorry to be a downer!
