Some say it is better to be lucky than good. Well England are certainly that. The opponents we have had to face in the last 4 tournaments from the groups to the knockouts are simply incredible - we have had consistently the easiest ride ever - this is one of the reasons I don't take Southgate's "achievements" seriously. Below is a list of all opponents and their FIFA ranking at the time of the match:-
