Well done England

Well done lads, you massively exceeded the expectations of a nation as most of us, if we’re being honest, thought you had no chance before the tournament.

You’ve given our national team respect, identity and hope for the future.

I particularly like the fact that Lingard, Young and Rashford are returning from a World Cup and we wont see fat sweaty taxi driving West Ham fans burning effigies of them on the news. Definite progress.

Disappointed, but very optimistic for the future.

Ron, RDD, what was your expectation of England’s performance before the tournament started?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Go through the group in 2nd.

I'd have backed us to beat Columbia and probably Sweden as well
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not watched any previous tournaments then, RDD?

He's a troll. He seems to be arguing that this England team isn't poor.

The Colombian side is pretty much on level with this side and played without their best player.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

When the dust settles everyone’s going to take a step back and realise how Southgate’s sports science approach has really got the best out of this group.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, his approach was great. Really well worked. A modern way of doing things.

Gets my vote.

With foresight like that no doubt he has ruined many a bookmaker in his time.

So we’re saying a World Cup semi is par, and we class this as failure?

I've read a few comments before the WC began about just hoping to get out of the group and not be an embarrassment.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
People before the tournament didn't know we would play two poor teams in the last 16 and quarters.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You didn’t play two poor teams though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We played 3.

Panama, Tunisia and Columbia were poor
----------------------------------------------------------------------

RDD, your lack of knowledge, understanding, insight and a clue is without compare. You’re amazing,
