There's no real trick to what Gareth's done, he's just picked youth, pace and workrate and most importantly, played players in their club positions. All of the players are fit and committed and there don't seem to be the egos of the Rooneys, Gerard's and Terry's of this world thank goodness. The best thing is they're getting better all the time and who knows how far they can go now. Frankly, I haven't seen a better team yet, other than Spain against Portugal who were brilliant, despite Ronald's outstanding performance but they've done little since I have to say. Certainly, nobody will want to play England now I'm sure.

I thought the France v Argentina and Uruguay v Portugal games were superb yesterday and for me evoked memories of 1970 and some of the magic of especially the Italy v Germany game then and of the Brazilians passim.
This is already a far better World Cup than anything since 1998.

This is already a far better World Cup than anything since 1998. Completely agree AndyL My first World Cup was 1978 and I remember filling out the Pannini sticker book (Mario Kempes) to this day I still don’t think he existed !!! Taffy ref Clive Thomas and that Zico goal which he ruled out as soon as he blew the whistle for a corner😂😂 You do know that if we do win this World Cup the cynics will say it’s the easiest WC to win with none of the big hitters in it. I’d still take it though as I’m not getting any younger to see an England team win anything. Just like Eurovision and the fact that we’ve only hosted ONE WC in its entire history is enough to tell me that if we reach the final, there’ll be some controversy or interruption or bent officiating that spoils it for us and that includes VAR. Just on VAR though, whilst I’m old school to go along with the notion that the referees decision is final and no correspondence can be entered into, I actually rate it as it stops the cheating sods like the Maradonna hand of god goal, so it can’t be a bad thing I guess!!

All European semi finals and four evenly matched teams for me. It's all down now to one silly mistake, moment of brilliance or refereeing decision, well aren't all games, but I see no reason why given a little luck, England can't win this thing. 66 with World Cup Willie was sensational and I'd love to experience that again so come on England we can certainly do this.

Just like watching the Wanderers. Play great for about 20 mins and then lots of passing backwards towards our own goal instead of " Attack, attack, attack". Lots of misplaced passes. Running at them with no end product in final third. Lots of losing the ball and having their "pockets picked" Oh dear, Boys against men, not fit enough either compared to Croatia who were the team supposed to tire!!- Next time lads. Well done for exceeding our expectations. Well done Gareth for being dignified, for bringing this very divided country together for a while and of course for that waistcoat.

Oh Sorry Owd It was meant to show the England flag but it matters not now as we’re out. And please please please NO Just NO No one wants that third placed game, what a waste of time. I hope Mr Waistcoat selects every player that hasn’t featured. Is it just me that wouldn’t have rated winning the WC having only come up against lesser teams, France apart? Could we really truly say we earned our stripes and emulated the boys of 66 had we got to the final and beaten France? Maybe!! As France have won it on the past, but they deserve to be there as their route was a lot tougher than ours. I’ve tried to stay positive about England but it’s took Pedros post above to make me realise it was a bit like watching a Parky team, albeit, you’ll never ever see a Parky team thrash any team 6-1 Oh, by the way, have the players stopped striking yet and has the stadium got a new name yet?

So much to say. Firstly the fans of the tournament have been well behaved. No Russian ultras or English yobs
I imagined that a lot of the teams would be defensive and I was wrong I think every team played to win
This has been a fantastic event. Well done to Harry Kane on leading scorer, Modric on finally getting the recognition he deserves and to France who were ultimately the best team.
