Its been great, probably because there was so little hype about going to Russia and it was generally not seen as a great choice of host, proved very wrong, and England doing well and the feel good factor that generated, I doubt Brazil or Argentina fans will be pointing at this as a great WC

England are not a top 4 in the world side. They are probably a top 16 side, but that's about it.

yep you can think like that being negative about your boys but you can also think positive and being proud of them getting to the semi finals and being 4th of the world
