Which is located furthest south?
Which has the largest population?
Which has the most neighboring countries?
Which is furthest from the Mediterranean Sea?
Which has the smallest land area?
Which has the highest FIFA ranking?

The fact is Germany, Spain, Portugal, Belgium and France are all in the other side of the draw.

We couldn’t have asked for a better route to potential glory.


I can't see us getting through Italy in the quarters if we make it , they will do a job on us like they always do probably in ET or on pens again and it will be another hard luck story like the last 50 odd years imo.

You're probably right, though Italy's current iteration are surprisingly crap.

International football has changed . The ‘ big teams ‘ of the past are no longer dominant  . Look at the list of countries in the last 16 and who have been the best to watch probably Austria and Georgia . Numerous other well organised difficult to beat countries playing without that way because they don’t have the burden of expectation .
Why is this?
Because historically the best leagues were full of home grown players Germany , Spain England so those countries players played at a higher level week in week out. Now these leagues are international melting pots and the reverse is the case it is  for home grown players to break into that level.
This has been obvious for a long time now so why do the media keep going on about England have a big opportunity because they are in the weaker side of the draw. There is no weaker side if the draw.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Swiss knocked the Italians out.

If, if, we get to the final, our opponents should be punch-drunk from fighting their way y on get there against very good teams.  That is the hope anyway.

We get lucky with good draws. But unlucky in individual matches.
