It's the same old same old. Hype up the players, make them sound invinsable, as in past tournaments, and again heartbreak for the players and me.

So disagree with this. Going into this tournament all I read about was how good France or Belgium or Portugal were, even Germany were mentioned and that England might struggle against these teams!! Yet in the end the two teams in the final were there on merit and ultimately the best team in the tournament won it. We are ranked No3 for a reason, we reached a final for the first time in 55 years, if that disappointed you then surely your expectations are the problem because we could only have gone one small step further and we would have won the whole thing.

This England team and squad in general is probably as good as any we have seen in the past, we will have a decent shot in the WC and in 3 years we will be back in it again for the Euros and out of all the so called big teams us and Italy might have the best younger players coming through.
