England have lost against the two good teams they’ve played against. And we’re lucky James was injured against Colombia, or they could have been sent packing in the second round. Their media, again, got the better of them and hyped them up to ridiculous levels.
I don't think they have anything to be ashamed about. They did very well do get to the semis with the team they have and the pressure the nation puts on them.

But Kudos to this England team tho, limited quality but they been hardworking and been playing to their strengths. No nonsense and just very focused on their game plan. More of a team then we seen from England in long time.

They overachieved and lucked out with an easier bracket. Reality just finally caught up with them. Promising team in 4 years, but too young and inexperienced at this level.

absolutely perfect game tonight. Even when we conceded, never felt England can knock us out. Controlled the game from start to finish. Impressive.

That’s true, they were a lot more tactically astute then recent England teams, but severely lacking in quality IMO. They were lucky they were in the easiest group in the World Cup and had a VERY favourable draw to the semis.
