But they have done what they had to and are now in the semi finals.
Also don’t think their win over this Sweden team is getting enough credit. Sweden beat Italy in the playoff, had a good group stage, and then beat a strong Swiss side in the round of 16. They weren’t pushovers and England easily handled them and gave up nothing.
Also that Anti-Football take is horrendous. They have not parked the bus at all and have tried to play an attacking style for most of the tournament. Terrible take.

The anti football stuff is just ridiculous
Colombia were playing a back 4 and 3 dms, and its englands fault the game didnt get any rhythm?
Theu have pushed high with wing backs, had 2 midfielders join kane and sterling in attack every game, and have created better chances than the other teams by a fair margin in every game
