England vs The World

So England are through to the knock-out stages of the World Cup, hurrah! And unless you live under a rock you’ll probably know that coming second in the group has supposedly given us a much more favourable run than the winners. But, if we’ve learned anything from the unpredictability of this year’s tournament, it is to never underestimate the abilities of the so-called ‘easier’ teams – just ask Germany.

That being said, we’ve had our best start to a tournament in over a decade, and last night’s underwhelming defeat was the first in a year, and against an arguably weaker side on our part. So, let’s get ourselves all excited and look at who stands between us and football’s greatest prize.
