Also, you're wrong. A win could have seen Russia through, we completely outplayed them in a stunning performance. If you want to talk about luck then Slovakia were lucky to have 11 on the pitch and to be just 1 down at half time considering Skrtel's assault on Jonny Williams. We were too conservative against England but Coleman learned his lesson and after a shaky start we were deserving winners over Belgium while a tight Northern Ireland game was decided by the best player on the pitch
You are correct...Russia could have gone through...but needed an unexpected win...and an unrealistic swing in goal difference..and they were a bit more realistic than you...and played their reserves.

It was an OG in Paris....Mc Cauley I think?

3 English players (who are far from “prolific “!)...scored for us against Belgium ...that in itself is extremely fortunate...never mind that they battered us for half an hour. without scoring more. Get the rose tinted glasses off ffs.
