They should blame UEFA /FIFA for giving them easy qualfiers/groups every ****ing tournament and building them up until they meet a real team!
An English guy said to me earlier, "you can only beat who is put in front of you", he doesn't realise that it only makes sense if you win the tournament other wise it is obvious they don't beat who is put in front of them.
I'm not begrudging them, they deserve their seedings and that's the luck of the draw. The Euros coming up next and they have Italy, Ukraine, N. Macedonia and Malta, no problem finishing in the top 2 spots, Ireland on the other hand have Holland, France, Greece and Gibraltar, be between Gibraltar and us not to finish bottom!
I was meaning that when people point out they have only beaten average sides, they say you can only beat the team they are playing against. It is evident that they don't beat the team they are playing against otherwise they would have won the competitions.
Anyway Masterchef final is on tonight, who do you fancy? BTW I'm up to date with Only Connect, you still following it?
I haven't watched Mssterchef in years snd nor seen Only Connect since the world cup started and they have stopped uploading them to YouTube. In fact, they do upload it but it never works
France also won this and England didn't get in the top 4: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-63916729
