"I think we’ve performed well so far, we should’ve beaten Tunisia by 4 or 5, like Belgium did. Today we’ve beaten a poor team that intimidated us but we’re still able to score goals (2 pens). We haven’t had a proper test yet, not sure if the Belgium game will be one either, both qualified and will give other players a run out. I said we would’ve done well if we get out of group stage and we’re doing that. One game at a time but I’m not getting carried away yet. Those that are saying we can win it now are usually supporters of lesser said teams like QPR, Watford etc that think two wins and their teams will be champions or heading in to Europe!! | |||

"Looking back to two weeks ago many people were writing England off before a ball was kicked and booking their plane tickets for Friday 29th. We’ve done far better than I hoped or imagined that we would do, a leading goal scorer (bear in mind the last golden boot winner won with 6, the previous with 5) and qualified for the knockout stages with a game to spare. I’m pleased and proud of the football that we’ve played, we’ve looked good and I think there’s plenty to get excited about. Of course it wasn’t perfect but no one ever is in the group stages, the fact that we will improve is a heartening one. Bring on Belgium and let’s get behind England. If you don’t support England then that’s fine, support your team, but support " Like I said mate . Some English people just want England to lose so they can say " Told you they was shit " | |||

We’ve done far better than I hoped or imagined that we would do, a leading goal scorer (bear in mind the last golden boot winner won with 6, the previous with 5) and qualified for the knockout stages with a game to spare. I’m pleased and proud of the football that we’ve played, we’ve looked good and I think there’s plenty to get excited about. Of course it wasn’t perfect but no one ever is in the group stages, the fact that we will improve is a heartening one. Bring on Belgium and let’s get behind England. If you don’t support England then that’s fine, support your team, but support Like I said mate . Some English people just want England to lose so they can say " Told you they was shit " " | |||

" As a side note; I’m loving the BBC coverage. Just the right note and that little bit about Italia ‘90 was pitch perfect with a lovely touch from Lineker after. BBC coverage is shit, still the 19th hole crowd. ITV is where it's at these days. They beat two countries that most people would struggle to find on a map and people get carried away ? There are at least 4 other teams showing way more quality than England right now and that doesn't even include the holder. Last time Tunisia and Panama both lost their opening group games was France98 when they went on to win the tournament Bear in mind the team you were up against today would struggle in the premier league, Belgium are a different kettle of fish, calm down Is it not our team ? ha !!! Not my team I'm Scottish
John Stones now has more World Cup goals in 1 game than the entire Scottish nation has in the last 5 tournaments
Quarter final appearance would be a respectable result in my opinion. Semi final totally exceeds expectations.
Pah! go big or go home"I’m a little lost as to what your points are? | |||

Quarter final appearance would be a respectable result in my opinion. Semi final totally exceeds expectations. Why ? Why not just hope to win it ?
Because I understand how probability works and what's required to actually win a tournament like this. Spoiler alert: more than just hope. but if you hope they will get to the quarters or semis . Why not hope to win it ?
Because the probability drops below what a rational person would get excited about. Are you on the edge of your seat every week that they announce the lottery numbers? "In a competition involving 32 teams, the probability is against any individual team actually winning the tournament. You can take Brazil, Spain, Germany or whoever and the probability will be in favour one of the most other 31 teams winning the tournament and not them. Anyway, you're missing the point of football. It's a world of irrationally and pointless attachments, we we can all hope for the improbable before return to real life. | |||

"Being a Scot I do have to say England have been the most exciting team to watch so far Belgium will be the real test - if they beat them I think England will reach the semi finals cause they don’t need to fear any other team Belgium are set to rest players, so beating them isn't all that impressive if they do that. My god you a barrel of laughs
They beat two countries that most people would struggle to find on a blank map and people get carried away
There are at least 4 other teams showing way more quality than England right now and that doesn't even include the holders.
I think we’ve performed well so far, we should’ve beaten Tunisia by 4 or 5, like Belgium did.
Today we’ve beaten a poor team that intimidated us but we’re still able to score goals (2 pens).
We haven’t had a proper test yet, not sure if the Belgium game will be one either, both qualified and will give other players a run out.
I said we would’ve done well if we get out of group stage and we’re doing that. One game at a time but I’m not getting carried away yet.
Those that are saying we can win it now are usually supporters of lesser said teams like QPR, Watford etc that think two wins and their teams will be champions or heading in to Europe!! haha get a grip "Sunderland fan? | |||

"Really..... We were playing Panama.... Let's have some perspective. " We drew 1-1 with them in a friendly with no Bale, Ramsey etc. Mostly was our kids for the future. Panama scored their goal with the last kick of the game. However, England were shit hot first half today | |||

In a competition involving 32 teams, the probability is against any individual team actually winning the tournament. You can take Brazil, Spain, Germany or whoever and the probability will be in favour one of the most other 31 teams winning the tournament and not them.
Correct, not sure what your point is though?

Brazil have a 21% chance, that's better than any other team by a long shot. Brazil fans are reasonable to hope to win. "So what's the probability cut off point when hope becomes "reasonable"? If it's reasonable to hope when the chances of your hope being disappointed are 79%, how about where the chances are 85% or 90%? And perhaps more to the point, who is the reasonableness tsar who decides these things? | |||

"You played two shite teams wouldn't get too carried away till you face Belgium see how you do against them Who do Ireland play next? let's be honest even we would get out your group Tunisia and Panama FFS lol
At least we're in a group... was pretty confident when we got the Danes in qualifier but then eriksen happened. Least we made Bellamy look a mug when we beat Wales tho
Oi. You leave us out of this, whatever it is your on about before we beat yas that time Bellamy was so smug saying how you were much better team and would win easy then we beat yas and he looked like he wanted to cry lol ."Oh right okay. Sounds like he touched a nerve. I am happy to apologise on his behalf, I'm sure it wasn't personal. I'm gutted we ain't at our 2nd tournament. '58 don't count. I bet your exactly the same. I'm jealous as fuzz that Wales ain't in it. But like fuck do I wish England to be home on the first flight. Nuh good luck to them. Keep a level head, get behind your team, enjoy it, be proud. That's talking from experience. | |||

"So negative . . I'm already getting sorted for the bus parade with the world cup
Same Some people just want England to lose so they can have a moan
Quarter final appearance would be a respectable result in my opinion. Semi final totally exceeds expectations. Why ? Why not just hope to win it ?
Because I understand how probability works and what's required to actually win a tournament like this. Spoiler alert: more than just hope. but if you hope they will get to the quarters or semis . Why not hope to win it ?
Because the probability drops below what a rational person would get excited about. Are you on the edge of your seat every week that they announce the lottery numbers?
In a competition involving 32 teams, the probability is against any individual team actually winning the tournament. You can take Brazil, Spain, Germany or whoever and the probability will be in favour one of the most other 31 teams winning the tournament and not them.
Correct, not sure what your point is though?
Anyway, you're missing the point of football. It's a world of irrationally and pointless attachments, we we can all hope for the improbable before return to real life.
Not really, football is a business and England could win the world cup, just not this time
My point is that on your argument no one can logically hope to win it, given the improbability of any given team winning it.
Football is indeed a business, but not for us fans. We form irrational attachment to a particular team and no matter how Shit said team are, we continue to support them and continue to hope they will get better.
No supporter of, say, Accrington Stanley, drawn against Chelsea in the cup doesn't hope they will win, despite the improbability they will. As others of said, you're rather missing the point if you think hope depends on probability.
Of course they can! I refuse to believe that your knowledge of maths is that poor. Having reasonable hope doesn't mean you need more than a 50% chance!
Brazil have a 21% chance, that's better than any other team by a long shot. Brazil fans are reasonable to hope to win.
So what's the probability cut off point when hope becomes "reasonable"? If it's reasonable to hope when the chances of your hope being disappointed are 79%, how about where the chances are 85% or 90%?
And perhaps more to the point, who is the reasonableness tsar who decides these things? "6% in this instance. Me of course | |||
