Thumbs up
Good news for England. If Germany don't top their group we might dodge them if we get to the quarter finals. Thanks Mehico

Looking forward to Brazil now.

Now that's what I call "winner talk".

I already know England won't win it though. I just want to see them get as far as possible.

I still don't get why England is ****tier than Iceland. Iceland has about 10 people on it and I question their ability to buy good players.

I hope white Americans jump on the Mexican bandwagon big time

We need some healing

England have a much better squad. But a group of 11 players can beat another group of 11 players in a match.

Oh, I thought I'd heard they were top tier. Still, why is England ****?

We're not really. Just average.

Only 8 teams have won the World Cup and England is one of them. France only managed to win it in '98 when they hosted it, Spain only won it recently too (2010). The Netherlands have never won it.

We have had lots of world class players. We punch below our weight in competitions but we are also hurt by competing as individual teams (Scotland/England/Wales/Northern Ireland). No other country in the world does that. A UK team would have won more than one World Cup

Also we didn't even enter the first few World Cups.
