Just interviewed Southgate, and he said he's only one of four people to have played for and managed England. Who are the others? I'm guessing Hoddle and Keegan. Who else?
Think it was about whoa has playef and managed England at world cup. Hoddle, Robson and Ramsey are the other 3 I think.
Fair points, you don't get to the quarter final if you don't deserve it to an extent. If we did get that far though, I know I'd rather play Mexico/Serbia/Switzerland over Brazil/Germany.
It'll be just our luck to have a brilliant tournament, winning all of our group games and the round of 16 match without a problem.
And then we get Brazil or Germany guaranteed in the quarter final.
Thing is you ain't going to get far in a world cup unless you beat a team like Germany Spain or Brazil - there is always going to be someone we would rather have avoided. We have the pace up front that would trouble Germany or Spain as much as Mexico did today, and we have a lethal finisher on top of that as well. My worry is the England defence always seems to has a major mistake in them as well.
Germany in big trouble now. I know this is based on assumptions but assuming Sweden and Mexico both beat South Korea a draw for Sweden against Germany would mean a draw between Mexico and Sweden in the final game knocks Germany out.

Many of my 'mates' on social media 'support' Germany yet they only watch football every four years. I'm glad the team they 'support' got beaten, by the underdogs. They can now all shut up.

Well if there’s one thing no one can accuse you of Jessie, it’s being a glory hunter!

Mexico / Iceland are two of those
Germans very poor. The signs were there from the friendlies.
Looking forward to Brazil next, haven't seen anyone yet who i think will beat them.
Brazil v Germany in round of 16 now a very real possibility.
And then we get Brazil or Germany guaranteed in the quarter final.
Hopefully we'll be relaxed and play for fun....forgo the usual psychological demons that seem to disable us at every tournament in the last 20 years
2006 winners = Italy = out at the group stage 2010
2010 winners = Spain = out at the group stage 2014
2014 winners = Germany = ???
