I agree. Although in historical terms I doubt that Belgium and Croatia would be seen as bigger footballing nations than England.
Maybe "better" would be a more accurate description.

Difficult to make historical comparisons for Croatia unless you include the Yugoslavia period which strictly speaking would be false. So, for both I would say bigger no, better yes.

Let's not beat about the bush ..... Engeeeerrrland were shit !

The 3 games they came against decent opposition , they lost !
Apart from the first 20 minutes against TUNISIA ( :roll: ) they didn't have an attacking bone in their body .

They will never have a better opportunity to get to or win a World Cup final .

I was more entertained by our County side ,
under Westley on our beach of a pitch .

I really can't work out what all the fuss has been about ......

In Harry Kane , they must have the first Golden Boot winner who has devalued himself ???
