I don't put forward an expectation I merely pointed out that even the most highly ranked teams have to work very hard to make it to the semis to illustrate the high standard of sport the is played in the world cup and that the players and teams know that so I doubt any team is going in with an inflated ego. Also last world cup England got to the semis so in terms of results Southgate is probably the best performing England manager since 66.

England never go into a world cup thinking they are the best. That is the most ridiculous shit I have ever heard. They are world class professional players who play in the premier League and champions league against the best players in the world they know exactly the quality of player and teams they are facing and know that even if you are the best your going to have to fight tooth and nail to even get to the semis.

If anything the fans have a generally pessimistic attitude.

The royal mail has huge pensions liabilities and huge risks going forward. With electronic communication It's no longer an essential public service. I'm generally against privatisation but the government were right to privatise the royal mail it can't be the company it was 30 years ago.
