That Morocco?
Also remember that Australia beat last Euros semifinalist, Denmark. And Argentina beat Poland.

But England would beat Belgium at the moment as well, not because England are better, but because Belgium's players hate each other.
And I'm judging the margin of defeat here, not former legacies.
France won by a one goal margin against England, they beat Morocco by two goals, by that assumption I'm gonna go with that England would've beaten Morocco, Portugal, Spain & Belgium as these three teams lost to Morocco who were less competitive against France than England were, this is a fact from the margin of victory that France displayed against both England & Morocco.
And we were Euro finalists that beat Denmark to get there, so it's not like Australia has achieved something that England didn't also achieve.
Personally while you think that I'm overrating England, I personally feel like you're underrating the team slightly, because England up to this point of the tournament has put up the best fight against France's first team (not counting the reserve team put out against Tunisia) as they'd already qualified by that point.
