Trying to find positives here... maybe things go full circle and we are at the threshold of "the absolute worst we can play" and the dial is about to tick over into "best ever form"? Happened to Leicester right?
Maybe we'll tick over just at the right time for once...
In the groups a flukey win and a few boring Algeria WC 2010 esque draws and then BANG the ultimate England performance in the final 16 to take us to the quarters and we'll be riding the wave of optimism all the way to the cup.
