I think is worth remembering that the 'supposedly' best - most impressive teams - particularly in the early rounds of the World Cup, do not always ultimately end up winning the competition. I can remember England actually winning the World Cup back in 1966 (yes, I really am that old!).
When they won, they had a team of very average players, despite what national loyalty or pride might say to the contrary. The case still holds true for the current squad, perhaps even more so.
England can go all the way, but I have to say, some of the competition hitherto seems highly impressive. I think a little bit of luck is needed along with skill and a determination to succeed. I just hope England can avail themselves of both as crunch comes to crunch, as it will do all too soon! Who knows what can happen in football? There have been so many surprises over footballing history to dispel what seems to be an obvious outcome.
