My QF prediction is entirely dependent on us getting someone African in the 2nd round
We're up against the Poland/Colombia/Japan/Senegal group in the last 16 if we get through.
None of them good enough where you'd expect us to lose but none of them bad enough where you'd expect us to beat them.
Saying that, if we beat any of them in the last 16 it would be the best result we've had in a tournament since probably Spain at Euro 96. About equal to beating Denmark in 02 and Ecuador in 06, both in the last 16.
When it's put like that, QFs would actually be a good achievement for England in this tournament considering the squad.

I think England will get to the quarters and I’ll be happy with that.
2nd round. ive never been less optimistic. The group is an absolute dream on paper but i still think we will struggle to get out of it. probably sc**** through with 4 points on goal difference.
