The pundits are all English people and former England players but you expect them to be impartial?

England as a national team have nothing to do with my support for England, or any countries players - playing for Rangers. I'm sorry but I just cannot support England, nothing against their players at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Croatia should provide some level of challenge. It's not something new though is it? Throughout the 32 team era WC there have been many examples of teams who have got to the semi final by not playing some of the major guns. Brazil (1998) beat Scotland, Morocco, Chile & Denmark. Turkey (2002) beat China, Japan & Senegal to get there. Italy (2006) to reach their semi beat Ghana, Czech Rep., Australia & Ukraine. Uruguay (2010) beat South Africa, Mexico, Ghana & South Korea to get to a semi final. Can we really blame England (and Croatia for the matter) for Germany (who they would have faced in the QF) making a complete howling arse of it? Did any one predict that? Also did anyone predict Spain losing out in the last 16 to Russia pre tournament? Most people would have had Germany v Spain as the semi final in this side of the draw regardless of whether Belgium or England finished first or second in that group!
