And of course you can look at it another way
We started superbly against Tunisia before they parked the bus. We destroyed panama when Belgium had struggled against them. Belgium B vs England B we did OK and lost on a moment of brilliance ending up in a side of the group which clearly gave us a better chance. We kept our composure very well against Colombia who were playing a different game without one of their star players (and were still a very good team) and if we hadn’t taken the stupid free kick at the end would have won in the 90 with a clean sheet. We were then very comfortable against a Sweden side who has destroyed Mexico.
