honestly looking long term for England making the top 4 in the WC(by draw anytime they playeda quality team they lost) is gonna be something that ends up catching up to the young English players who are gonna be under even more pressure than before.
let's be honest they made the top 4 by pure luck, anytime they played a quality team in either international tournament European or sc they lost. the media is gonna be like the Mexican one inflating mediocre player like Ali,RLC ,Lingaard etc and in the next tournament they may not get that lucky draw and get exposed to their real level.
yea England has some decent players but England if other nation has all their players they may not even be a top 4 team in europe
Croatia is the same thing but they do have some real world class players unlike England but they humble people and they not gonna over inflate their team.
Spain,Belgium,france,Germany are in another level to the rest of Europe
