England beat Panama, Tunisia and Sweden and lost to the runners up

Uruguay beat Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Russia and Portugal and lost to the eventual winners


So zero doubt that Uruguay actually put up better wins(and more of them) than England as an example.

Yes, and Uruguay lost that match playing without Edison Cavani.

Well they finished 4th, so they are, how can you disprove it. It`s like saying a team that finishes 4th in the Prem isn`t the 4th best team in the Prem. It is what it is.

Bless.. sandy thinks all the teams play v the same teams.

I think Brazil, Spain and Uruguay would have progressed as far as we got, had they had our draw. Uruguay even got more wins than us.

Fourth best in this tournament? Not for me.

The records will show England were the 4th bestnside in the World Cup.

They played 3 group winners - the competition's form teams - in their KO games, the same as the two finalists did.

The records will also show Harry Kane has the Golden Shoe.

IMO

a) germany will be absolutely kicking themselves. quite how they managed to mess this one up i do not know. They should have been in the easier half of draw and in the final.

b) france beat argentina (not great) brazil (decent) and belgium (very good) on the way to a very easy final for them. They fully deserve the trophy

c) modric deserves player of the tournament.

d) kane scored 6. 2 or 3 of which were vital to england winning their group games and qualfiying. the rest were bonus goals and he faded markedly as tournament went on.

Gotta disagree really.

England were massively improved, but finishing 4th is a reflection of an easy draw, nothing more.

Soon as we faced half decent teams our system was exposed, and our lack of creativity and composure.

We are hell of a lot better than we have been, but I wouldnt say we were better than a poor brazil team, and Ive even have been amazed if we had beaten the worst German team in some time.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves, as we always do in this country.

World cups are strange, its awesome with everyone getting patriotic but the standard of football and teams are way off club football.

Still cant wait for the next one though

I would have Uruguay as the 4th placed team this world cup with England being 5th

Top 3 is correct.

Would have England below Uruguay, Brazil and Russia.

Appoint Antonio Conte and we'll better than 4th.

Ermm No. England didn't deserve it. Croatia scraped through.
