Reading the comments its hard to believe we won the game let alone the group. The Swedish v France result shows how well we played against Sweden last time out. Even if the Terry clearance went over the line we still would have won the group. This is a group of players who were not given a prayer by anyone to even get out the group and they have won the bloody group, some people will never be happy.
What a fantastic result and performance yet again. Bring on the Ities!!!!

I don't see any unhappy people, so maybe highlight them? I'll admit I didn't think England would get out the group, let alone win it. How far can they go? No idea. All bets are off now.

In all of Englands history we have never made a better start to an tournament.

In fact far better pundits than any of us have voiced the same. You seem to take it as moaning, rather than obvious criticism of what was clearly a technically dreadful performance from England, particularly the first half where we were absolutely dire. But, as you rightly say, we showed bollox the size of melons, and with a healthy dose of luck we progress. I remember a club side winning a major tournament recently exactly like this.
