People said exactly the same things at the start of the Euros.
We drew the hardest team of any of the group winners and beat them reasonably comfortably.
We also didn't concede a goal in the first 5 games we played in, with probably the same defence and keeper which will play in this tournament.
It also makes me laugh this,- I'll start a thread asking how England will do, just so I have an excuse to say how I think England are rubbish. Again.
Time will tell, but whatever happens this last 5 or 6 years has been easily the most positive and enjoyable period of time watching England in my lifetime.
