No. Let's

We're the bookies 4th favourite to win at the mo. How many times in your life have you been able to say that?

Plus, the best result for us tonight is for us to lose... and I've got the utmost confidence in our ability to do that haha

I'm not buying into it just yet - we've played two very minor teams and not faced a real test yet - we've got a good team that appears to play as a team for a change and I think the future is bright but not quite sure we're there just yet.

That said I can see us going to quarters or semis so if everything comes together there's no reason we can't go all the way - I'm just not getting too carried away

Which bookies?

I always look on odds with huge degree of scepticism as they’re skewed by betting patterns not actual likelihood’s. Simply because their odds have come down all it means is that a lot of people have put money on England winning.

Very sensible. I didn't want to say it through fear of being shot down.

You should beat Tunisia, only just managed to.

You should thump Panama. You did.

I wouldn't read too much into this tonight. Take notice once you get to the qtrs, providing you do.

I like the optimism! Saying the best result tonight is to lose in nonsense though. Iceland was our easy passage through 2 years ago. I know its a different squad and manager but im a firm believer in winning breeding confidence and a young team like ours live off confidence. Raheem sterling is proof of that.

Play to win every game! Brazil in the quarters, semi or final it doesnt matter. We will have to beat the best to win the thing regardless. But i still dont think we will. I hope we do, but cant see it.

I'm also not sure that finishing second is that "easy" an option:

If we finish top:

Last 16: Colombia/Senegal/Japan

QFs: Brazil/Mexico

SFs: Uruguay/Portugal/France/Argentina

If we finish 2nd:

Last 16: Colombia/Senegal/Japan

QFs: Sweden/Switzerland

SFs: Spain/Russia/Croatia/Denmark

Arguably Sweden/Switzerland is the easier QF of the two - but Sweden have shown they're no mugs and Switzerland wouldn't be that "easy"

Take it as it comes and just try to keep winning and building momentum I say, beyond the last 16 games I don't think there are any "easy" routes

I agree with this, maintaining a winning mentality and building momentum is what wins world cups. Trying to be clever and taking an easy option won’t do it.

If (and I say if) we were to lift the trophy I’d rather say we beat the best

In years gone by id agree with you but this is the first england team since the mid 90's that actually look like a "team". Im not saying we are amazing, but we do look like a good unit for a change

I seriously hope it is I’m sick that when watching the football pundits are so negative and critical about our national team, worse some of them played for the team in past an hated the negative press they got yet now do it themselves..

Also every other country who is in competition all know there team can win yet people are afraid to dream and hope yes we have failed in th past but each time I believe we can win and achieve

Please get behind the England team dream a bit and have faith the young lions can achieve the dream

You see the wonderful thing about tonight is that it plays to all our weaknesses

1) We're shit. If we're shit and we lose... well that's great. The best result

2) We're jinxed. Sod's fucking law the one time we actually want to lose we've got too good a fucking team and they actually win. In which case awesome!! We're going from strength to strength.

We're in a great spot. I accept that 99.99% of England fans won't be getting excited about their chances until they're actually holding the cup aloft in their hands. But where's the fun in that?! And more importantly... where's the support? I'm happy to get excited for England. I'll be very pleasantly surprised if my excitement doesn't get cut abruptly short one day soon... but while the sun is shining I'm going to bloomin well enjoy every minute of it.

Plus... don't forget... Germany is out hahahahaha

That was kind of what I was going for too.

As a side note, his comments about winning the golden boot changes your life really makes it clear

I hope it is for sure and am more excited about this England team than I have been for a long time but you can't write off the likes of those you've mentioned - it's well known that some teams take a while to get started and go from strength to strength as the tournament progresses (which could of course prove to be the case for England too) - I've just been here too many times before where we've had a couple of wins and all of a sudden are going to win everything in sight only to fall at the next hurdle.

And that's not me being negative, just realistic - as I said earlier we've got a decent team but I'm not sure we're quite there yet, if we can maintain it though think we'll be a force come Euro 2020 or World Cup 2022

Happy to eat my hat (and hope I do) if we do win it though
