I appreciate it's a bit of a stretch (especially when your eventual success is still hypothetical) but it's not what you've done, so much as the manner in which you did it

you've only scored two goals from open play in four matches, and both were against panama

if you guys start turning it on from here and tank Sweden, Croatia and Brazil I'll be happy to reassess!

Part of the problem is the teams we have played. I'm ignoring the Belgium match as neither team actually bothered playing their real team.

Both Tunisia and Colombia played dirty as hell and ruined any attempt to actually play football. That ref yesterday was atrocious and so Colombia got away with that tactic all game. It's very hard to score from open play in those scenarios.

It's actually kind of baffling that England have been the target of such play rather than the more free flowing teams you would expect to be targeted by play like that.
