Slept on it and still have the opinion that the hype given this England side was over the top and I can see why other countries think we are arrogant. You need to look beyond the round we got to and consider Englands performances, the teams we played, the creativity, to get the whole picture. I don't think anyone should be fooled because of seeing semi finalist against our name. Massive work to do.
One semi final, two goals created from open play in the whole tournament, not beating anyone of real quality is the reality. If we get to the semi final in the next tournament and then the next one I will say England are 'back'. I cannot agree with these pundits that are suggesting we are 'back in the worlds best' as I have just heard on talkshite. Not yet we are not. No way Let's repeat this again and then maybe...
Wales got to a semi final and where are they now?. Exactly.
This tournament was a freak in many ways. Teams went out in a way that hadn't happened before. I doubt this perfect storm for England will happen again.
