We are such a consistently strong national team now, whilst other countries seem to have hiccups. Roll on 2022.
That’s the worry, the way we’re progressing we will probably be heavy favourites in Qatar, it’s just then how they handle the pressure.
I think they had more pressure at the euros. ‘Easy’ group and then home advantage. I honestly think these boys are past that now.
Agree to an extent. But the World Cup is bigger and watched by more, and like I said I think we’ll be favourites, whereas France were during the euros. Hope you’re right though.

I still think Brazil and France will be ahead of us in the betting. The former being ridiculously overrated.
I enjoyed that game. H should of scored at least one more unless I'm being disrespectful to their keeper? Southgate said before the game that we in England have to get our game in order before we can start commenting on other countries, I liked that. I didn't see his comments after the game?
It’s been 45 minutes of football since England went out on a penalty shootout in a major final, and the whiners are already out in in force I see.
Harsh, people are allowed different opinions if you different know
You gave them 45 minutes of a 0-0 score line before complaining, even though the England side have been mostly brilliant for the past 3 years.
Got anything positive to say about Southgate after his gameplan worked flawlessly to deliver a 4-0 away win against tough opposition?
Hungary are poor
They looked organised in the 1st half. 2nd half the goal for England meant they couldn't really defend it out. Their keeper made some saves. They ain't a poor team
I have never been more confident of an England team than this one, and my England days go all the way back to the 1980 Euro's!!
Such a strong squad, but more importantly than that, is that there is a cohesion and a togetherness that we have never had before, no big time Charlies wanting to be the main man, just a good bunch of honest lads that actually want to play for their country.
Playing wise, we have reached the stage when everyone is fit, that we could field a 2nd X1 who didn't start tonight that would see off most other teams in the world comfortably!
Pope
Alexander-Arnold Gomez Mings Chillwell
Bellingham Henderson Foden
Saka Calvert-Lewin Sancho
...and that is still leaving out Rashford, Trippier, Abraham, Hudson-Odoi and Reece James!
I heard that Rossi had pre-warned his players that England were a better side than Germany or France.
Before the game I assumed this was the usual old management speak to raise his players - to perhaps nick a result - following the draws they achieved with the aforementioned in the Euros.
Turns out he was right all along .
A fantastic performance by England who controlled the match from start to finish and could've had a couple more.
Clearly these players are gelling really well and enjoy playing under Southgate (who is getting better with each tournament)
My only concern is that, if Maguire, Stones, Henderson and Kane (the "spine") were suspended and/or injured I don't think this team would win trophies or even come close.
I think the rest are boys. Boys get found out. I hope it never comes to this of course because the mix men and boys we have can possibly go very far in Qatar. Not winning it but certainly as far as semis.
We’re Hungary really awful or did we make them look awful?
They were absolute shite but their record over the last 12 months or so certainly isn’t.
We easily could have had six plus
I think it was a bit of both last night.
Hungary certainly played a lot worse than they're capable of (this is a side that drew with France and Germany at the Euro's) and we were ruthless in the second half when we stepped things up.
So pleased that Sterling scored in front of their ultras and loved the reactions of Grealish and Rice to their fans. We're so strong now and i fully expect at least 9-10 changes for the Andorra game.
Comments
Reports now that they pissed in the cups before throwing them on the pitch.
You are entitled to your opinion.
But it may be best to wait until the end of the match in future.
So pleasing to see us actually go out and attack like that.
