People who want to be negative and hateful, will always find reasons to be: the defending world champion (Argentina) just got held and pushed to be brink by Cabo Verde, a country of less than 500,000 people. A country many have never heard of. A country that is completely unknown in football! Yes, we complain about England’s performances….

…. it is indeed baffling!

If Cabo Verde had lost 6 – 0 yesterday, it would still have been an excellent performance by them. To score 2 goals and push the defending champions and Lionel Messi, to extra time and narrowly losing it? can’t find the right words nor enough superlatives for Cabo Verde!!!

But we are in a world where negativity is in vogue! Hate is money! There are bots created by people sat in basements, just to stir hate and negativity, for their own amusement and to get clicks and make money.

England’s in the last 16. If we lose now or later or even at the last 32, it means we weren’t good enough on the day, and the other team found a way to beat us. PERIOD!
