For all their John Bull huff and puff, England would be easily dispatched by Colombia.
Its just not the English way. We’ll have to beat Brazil to win this World Cup. Bring them on in the quarter final.

With Germany out, only Japan are left to potentially invoke the wartime spirit for the English press in a knockout tie.
We’ll know more by 5pm.
I’ll just leave the following statistic here.
Current disciplinary scoreline:
England 2 yellow cards
Belgium 3 yellow cards
depends how many wars you want to get back mate,
they’ve had a cut off the French haven’t they, throughout history?
Their four most recent actual conflict wars have been with Iraq, Sierra Leone, Argentina and Iceland afaik.
Iceland? The nation or the discount grocery chain?
I meant THE war, not A war.
If you’re talking about any old war, there’s still France, Argentina, Russia and any EU country.
They are still over in Afghanistan
The Cod War
The Croats aligned themselves with Hitler and Mussolini.

Get Your Croats, it’s time to go home!
Sweden were war time enemies of England on a number of occasions - War of the Austrian Succession and the Seven Years War being two of the bigger ones.
The Danes were also great enemies of England on a few occasions and of course the Danes ravaged the country for the best part of 50 years until Alfred the Great routed them and put manners on them.
Could we see another English man emerge with the title of ‘the great’ ?
