The tournament has shown us that the Africa based teams are mainly padding to get more teams in the final.
The tournament has also shown us that thuggery is a major tactic with South American teams
We’ve learnt that listening to the British Brainwashing Corporation advice on what Russia is like was a mistake
We’ve learnt that the old guard TV pundits are still boring but the politically correct move to include more women wasn’t any better.
We still don’t know how VAR works, or what is or isn’t offside and whether or not a keeper is allowed to rush off his line to save a penalty
We’ve seen when Japan played that you can gain respect and admiration of millions by just playing honest football and having a go without diving.
We’ve been reminded that an England team of young lads wanting to put a shift in and that have pride in wearing the shirt is better than going through the motions with old war horses like Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard and Terry
