Always expected last 8 minimum get through the group then wherever we finished we should expect to be able beat Columbia, Japan, Senegal or Poland. Meeting Sweden not Germany in the quarter is a bonus as would a semi against Croatia,or Russia.Quarter finals are ok?
As far as I'm aware, England weren't ranked in the top 8 aides in the world before the tournament and were in the group of second seeds. That implies their expected finish would be the Round of 16.
Quarter finals is exceeding expectations.
