No, the pressure always gets to them.

emuloc · 12/07/2026 15:16

Hopefully they will.

blankcanvas3 · 12/07/2026 15:17

I hope so!

I don't think so, but I'm pleased we got to the semis. Pretty decent.

frozendaisy · 12/07/2026 15:19

One match at a time

They can
Not sure they will

DontrockthecaravanGeoffrey · 12/07/2026 15:20

All the bookies think France will win.

Dartsplayer · 12/07/2026 15:20

I really hope they do but I've said from the start it will be France that wins so fingers crossed England can get it over the line

frozendaisy · 12/07/2026 15:23

Just watching the Argentina v Switzerland game to see what England are up against on Wednesday

It should be a good game

VamosVamosArgentina · 12/07/2026 15:23

It’s possible, I believe the England team has reached a good place with a lot of effort and some luck - just like every other team still in the tournament.

Pinkissmart · 12/07/2026 15:30

Of course not!

APageInYourDiary · 12/07/2026 15:32

We have a chance of beating Germany but I think the final will be beyond us sadly! 😬

As long as we beat Germany 😂

PullTheBricksDown · 12/07/2026 15:35

I don't know, but I am pleased with how they've done so far. A semi final place is a good outcome. Final even better. France or Spain would be formidable opponents though..

I think playing an international friendly at this stage of the tournament may have a negative effect on their chances...

Ipsevenenabibas · 12/07/2026 15:35

It's possible but not probable.

summershere99 · 12/07/2026 15:37

Even if we get to the final I’m fairly certain we won’t / can’t beat France. We’ve seen lots of potential to win but it’s just not consistent enough. (If the unlikely event it’s a Spain v England final then I think we would stage a better chance of winning).

GingerAndTheBiscuits · 12/07/2026 15:38

France have looked the best team in a tournament where big teams have underperformed and smaller teams have outdone themselves. But nobody has looked totally untouchable so they’ve as good a chance as any!

ModernV · 12/07/2026 15:38

No. I can't see anyone beating France.

It’s a final anything could happen against France

Hahahahaha, no of course not!

MrsTerryPratchett · 12/07/2026 15:41

Anything could happen, but probably not.

Will England win the World Cup?
sittingonabeach · 12/07/2026 15:41

I think Argentina might be a step too far, never mind the final

parlona · 12/07/2026 15:42

They have to beat Argentina first on Wednesday!

If they do, it's either France or Spain, both formidable and France with the edge I think.

But it's all to play for and it would be such a boost for the country if they do raise the cup. Good luck to all.

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 12/07/2026 15:45

No, we can’t.
