Nope never.
Germany usually fail to leave group stage?
Spain struggle with Iran?
Argentina 1-1 Iceland and Brazil 1-1 Switzerland is normal too right?
The only reliable trend is that England will disappoint.

Except that it seizes to be a disappointment when you don't expect anything anymore. I last expected something when they had a killer team in 2006 but I learned my lesson there - England will lose in the World Cup.

Anyone that pretends this isn't an open tournament is lying or blinded by jealousy.
Brazil
Uruguay
Portugal
France
Belgium
England
Spain
Croatia

All have a legit chance.

They're trends until they aren't trends.

I'm the furthest thing from an 'England till I die' divvy but you're not looking at the tournament objectively.

of course not I'm going off a hunch mixed with empirical observation mixed with history - all that tells me England will fail.

I'm not gonna lie. I'm actually disappointed the Nazis got eliminated early upon reflection. They were there for the taking and I wish we could have sent them home instead. That would piss my uncle Adolf (Harold) off no end. I'd have ammunition forever if we had taken out the krauts

Based on that Germany are at least Semi-Finalists right?
They played like shit all three games so empirical observation tells me they would fail at some point.

Anyway sorry if I'm annoying you I'm just talking shit. I do believe England will fail but I could be absolutely wrong. Also doesn't mean I "hate" anybody. I got excited with several young enligh players over the years and they all turned out to nothing in international tournaments but you have the greatest league in the world by far.

There is a silly saying that "Brazil is the land of football" but I always thought that was complete bullshit - England is the land of football. Brazil has a subpar national league, crooked federation and empty giant stadiums build on public money; England has the best league, sold out stadiums everywhere and an overall healthy system for the sport.

I think it's much more likely they'd have turned up for that 1 match and fucking whipped us like they usually do haha
