You are right though in saying that Germany, Argentina and Spain were , for whatever reason, totally underwhelming. I still think any on of those sides could and probably would beat england in a quarter or semi.

So, ye. They can be "world-cup finalists" england or even "2018 world cup winners" england, it still won't make them the best team in the world. Far from it.
You do realise the World Cup is a knockout competition, right?

We weren’t one of the 4 best teams at the Euro’s but we got as far as England have now
