The semi and the final was expected given the level of opposition you met, no idea why you're pretending otherwise. The draws were perfectly lined up for England to reach both finals. Piss easy group, and the only real opposition you met was a poor and underperforming Germany team that was lucky to get out of it's group. Ukraine and Denmark
Atleast Italy had to play Belgium and Spain.
World cup? Tunisia, Panama and Belgium. Piss easy lineups followed, playing Colombia, Sweden and you were then knocked out by the only decent team you met, before being humiliated by Belgium.
