The same applies here. We haven't beaten an elite nation in knockout World Cup football in 52 years yet guys think we can do it three times in a row?

We possibly could win a one off game though. This draw, avoiding the big hitters of the football world until the semis at the earliest, is the chance of a lifetime.

I want England to win and i dont care how they do it. England must do what it takes to be on the right side of that draw ffs.
