I would desperately love you to come back to me and mercilessly taunt me about how wrong I was, accompanied by a picture of Harold Kane, with the trophy aloft. I just cannot see us in the last 8. We are experts in failure at big tournaments.
We rarely meet expectation in major competition. We generally fly through qualification with the odd exception. While Southgate has done better than I thought he would, I can see him reverting to a flat back four. Time will tell and I am forever hopeful of a decent run, if not expecting one.
