Start of something special or missed opportunity for England?

Is this run to the semi-finals the start of something special for the young English side?

Nice little story, but they will suffer defeats to France in the future too, as the French side is truly set up for the next decade for success with all its top elite players currently under 25....especially that Mbappe guy

England won the "Bracket game" benefitting from a lucky draw to beat noone (Tunisia and Panama) and then deliberatly avoiding Brasil, then playing Colombia w/o their best player. 

It will be extremely difficult to repeat such lucky circumstances, and avoid playing European teams.

Kane is getting older. The team selection and overall management is lacking. France is better managed and match day coached. France is France. Noone has to be like France. 

What Croatia has accomplished is simply breathtaking. A country of what? 4 million? Let that sink in. And they had ZERO BREAKS along the way. NONE. France had Uruguay take out their nemesis in Ronaldo, then Urugay loses their best striker. They have avoided ET games, and have received beneficial refereeing.
