Know Your Place England

England in the World Cup Quarter Finals and we all know how this will go because we have been here before and it ends with the plucky English players trudging off the field leaving the celebrating opposition to jump around excitedly but hang on, England actually think they not only have a chance of beating the reigning World Champions France but winning the whole shooting match.
Harry Maguire has only gone and said the squad has the belief that they can win the footballing tournament which doesn't seem a very English attitude which is of a more pessimistic mindset that we will lose on penalties and in Garth Southgate we have a manager who knows all about that, his penalty at Euro '96 is currently still in orbit somewhere as they did the job of losing in a penalty shootout against Germany.
England fans know our place in the world’s game and we fully expect the defending champions to put us back in our place on Saturday night as Kylian MbappĂ©, Oliver Giroud and the rest of Les Bleus put another World Cup to bed for us.  
Trying to win the World Cup indeed! England, know your place in the football hierarchy which is plucky losers!
