However we didn't have Kane and other decent young lads playing in the last world cup. History means nowt right now.
True enough it's a poor record but I would imagine Colombia, Sweden Switzerland Croatia and Russia don't have much better ones, someone is going to come through.
We have had decent quality before. Certainly comparable. Every 2/4 years we go through the same thing. I stopped buying into all hype a long time ago. Perhaps if we all ignore them they will start surprising us.
