[QUOTE="Emelee, post: 442148, member: 73"] I think England is probably overestimating themselves. The team is great, no doubt. But they haven't been amazing. There have always been teams that are better. And because of that, they have not won the World Cup since the 60s. Sacking Southgate was likely a symptom of that overestimation. Thinking "If only we have a different coach".... When maybe it isn't the coach at all, but rather the players not being excellent enough, or not in sync enough. Not enough excellent players who dare to be excellent when it matters most. I think England needs a better defence from what I've seen. Argentina came too close too many times. It was just a matter of when they'd score. Their attack play is just excellent with Messi as the director. When it comes to Spain, their defence is just brilliant. Their opponents aren't allowed to come close. Spain has only let in ONE goal this whole tournament. Look at what they did to France who definitely has the best striker line-up of any team. Spain's defence crushed them. Spain's attack play is almost as good as Argentina's, but their defence is better. So we ended up with the 2 best teams in the final. [/QUOTE]
