France will be a step to far for England. Just going back a few months in the Nations league this England side were there for the taking. To be honest the quality of their opponents in this world cup so far have been average at best bar the usa. Remember the Senegalese were missing 3-4 ,of their gun players with hugh experience.
Germany won their first World Cup in 1954, Brazil won their first in 1958...so at that point Germany was 1-0 up
I'm not having a go at England, you've done well so far. Can't really go off Nations league form, because in that case England were worse . Lol
Cry more boohoo Germany are out. You got humbled by Japan and barely scraped past Costa Rica. We outclassed the afcon champions
why are you trolling? This is always issue with this thread. Always brings in non-Germany fans who come to shit on Germany. the Topic at end isn't Germany its England. If you can't bare to see anything not + about England then don't post here, its simple. This thread is for Germany fans to discuss non-Germany NTs. Its not an open WC thread for all. There are forums for that elsewhere. your also making things up. Humbled, more like blundered vs Japan and barely scrapped? We trashed then 4-2 same result as back in 2006 and hit post like 3 times in that match too. If Flick wasn't dumb enough we could have won higher with a Fullkrug in XI and could have gotten the required GD.
This is a conversation about England. I don't agree that England haven't played anyone. Opposition fans love shitting on England no matter what
a conversation about England has nothing to do with Germany, so why bring us up? Your group was the shittiest group in WC and he's not wrong Senegal was missing key players. This same Senegal lost 2-0 to a rebuilding Dutch team too. So I wouldn't be wowed by winning. Your 1st real test is gonna be France. in any case there are no English fans in here anyways. None root for you, we all want to see the drought continue. Sorry not sorry, lol. you only get things like "If I had to choose a winner between England and Spain I would take England" type reactions. maybe a lot of oppositions fans love shitting on England 1-your media my entire life for example at how England are favorites, gonna win, Golden Generation etc. The neverending delusions for decades get tiresome 2-Overhyping to moon so many dud players. Forget overhyping tons get hype and then fizzle later on. You Yourself brought up 4 players and already 50% have fizzled, Rashford has been downtrending for some years. I'm sure majority expected him to be at a different level than what he is and Grealish is one massively overhyped player who has nothing to show for it. Too early on the other 2. So many others have amounted to nothing. 3-All that talk and NOTHING to back it up, no trophies since 1966 and at end of day that's ONLY thing that matters.
Shittest group? All 4 teams were in the top 20 rankings. There were far worse groups. Anyway made my point. Good luck to u
Speaking of rebuilding Netherlands Dutch vs Senegal, 2-0 W Dutch vs USA, 3-1 W England vs USA, 0-0, USA were better LOL England vs Senegal, 3-0 W
and? I don't care about rankings outside of WC or Euro draw purposes. you do realize that USA and Iran play in regions where its easy to win and move up in rankings. Or doing well enough in friendlies. Wales were hot trash let's be honest.
people shit on Germany for losing to Jaoan while Spain also lost 2-1 and now Japan leading 1-0 HT vs Croatia, 2nd place WC18 Japan looking like Dark Horses and Croatia best chance to win WC was WC18 while Golden Gen were in prime.
Good times for Asian teams. I think Japan/Korea benefits from the large chunk of their player playing abroad. But I do think they may struggle against South American teams.
thing is that Europe seems to be pusing for a lot of USA, Japan, Korea players and that will just strenghen their NTs. Europe pushes for players from those countries due to marketing purposes. only thing we'll have edge in future is that Europe can still build core domestic players at club X or Y. While foreign players tend to be spread around Europe.

Lol. Humbled! It 2as nothing m9re than a smash and grab win. Again Costa Rica we should have won by double digits scoreline, but we didn't. England were very poor against usa, first half against Wales your were poor, last night you should have been 2 nil down against Senegal in the opening half hour, when Maguire (fridge) was showing his true colours. Lol
