Think we shouldn't go too over the top about getting to the semis. If we had gone the Belgian route we wouldn't have got to the semis. We plainly still have a long way to go as Belgium and Croatia have shown us. They are still way ahead of us. Also remember that teams like Germany, Brazil, Portugal and Argentina are not likely to be so shyte next time. You also will have teams like Holland and Italy who are likely to revive. The competition will be more fierce even if we do get better.
Sorry for the downer but just being realistic. The good thing is our team is still young so they should get better.
The presenter on iTV has just said it has been a compelling world cup which is fair enough but I don't think we have seen the silky skills in the same abundance as previous world cups generally. The flair players have been piss poor and past their best ie the Neymars, Messis etc. We are likely to see some new World talent emerging in 2022.
