Even Tunisia gave us a really strong defence, I think it's pretty naive to write off anyone that isn't in the circle of "France/Brazil/Argentina/Spain/Germany" as a "not decent" team especially in this world cup, where Mexico and South Korea have humiliated Germany, Iceland have humiliated Argentina, Japan have come close to knocking Belgium out, Sweden topped a group including Germany...

To me the only "bad" teams at this world cup were Saudi Arabia, Panama, Costa Rica, Egypt and Poland (which is odd because Poland are usually great) even the likes of Morocco, Iran and Australia put up some great performances... it's probably what's made this the most enjoyable world cup in my lifetime, for me.

But yeah, England knocked out 2 teams that finished top of their groups, and pretty good groups at that.
