Some say that the sign of a great team is that they still win matches even when they are playing. badly. Well England did not play badly , they put in a great shift in very hot and humid conditions. But.. and if there is a but…we just have not seen the best of England yet.
Sometimes it is not what you say , but how you say it. If Tuchel had said , well done lads , you are in the semi-finals and we have not seen a glimpse of what you are capable yet! Maybe , just maybe Jude Bellingham would not have said the telling words , whatever.
So , well done to England. Pickford did well , but not a glimpse of what he is capable of , so unfortunately they scored an unintended goal, well just my opinion , but of course you would say that you meant it. Bellingham was awesome. Norway seemed to find a way to tame Gordon but he did get an important assist in. Captain Kane did nothing wrong , but not a glimpse of what he is capable of .
So , no world cup match is likely to meet the Mexico one , which had everything. We got the points and are in the semi- finals. We can go all the way if we just show a glimpse of what we are capable of.
