I was just very surprised that you thought Sweden and the Ukraine (!?) were better than England... even a neutral wouldnt have said that. now lets forget it please. |
I never said it was a certainty, I said I wouldn't be surprised if they never made it out of the group. I made that prediction because:
Ukraine are the host, Hosts are known to over perform in tournaments,
England ALWAYS draw against Sweden (7 in a row)
and France could easily turn England if they really wanted to especially when you consider that they are unbeaten in over 20 games.
At the time, I maintain my prediction was not as stupid as it sounded, less we forget, they aren't safe yet so don't jump the gun.
