4. England still need to improve to go up against the big boys
The England football team had a fairytale run at the World Cup and reached the semi-finals. This would be enough to prove to anyone that they can go up against the best in the world. But let's face the facts, England lost to Belgium in the group stage and while credit must be given for getting past Colombia and Sweden, they lost again in the semifinals when they faced a tougher opposition in Croatia.
The Three Lions' record has not been that good of late, especially against the big teams, and therefore, everyone is still eagerly waiting for Gareth Southgate's men to get a victory in a difficult tie.
Against Spain, the start was phenomenal when Luke Shaw assisted Marcus Rashford's poacher finish, but La Roja equalized minutes later from Saul. Rodrigo scored the decisive goal as a late Danny Welbeck equalizer was controversially denied.
The English contingent were at full strength and still couldn't pull it off.
