How do you rate England's 2018 World Cup campaign?

Overachieved

Maguire

Chris Smalling instead of Jones maybe . Definitely not Wiltshire or Shelvey

Definitely good

Trippier

Sessignon

Euros:

Pickford
Trippier
Sessegnon
Gomez
Maguire
Stones
Henderson
Loftus Cheek
Sancho
Sterling (we always look better with him on the pitch)
Kane

Encouraging . Would have said before the tournament we are about sweden/poland/Switzerland level, feel we are above that level now but still behind France Belgium Germany Brazil Spain as a team - would put us at the same tier as Portugal/Argentina in international football now.

We definitely over achieved as I thought we'd be out at the quarters at best.

Maguire, trippier, pickford stand outs and should be first names on the team sheet with Henderson and Kane for the next few years. All other places are up for grabs in my opinion. Can see Gomez, ox Chamberlain and Wiltshire if they stay injury free getting in to improve the team.

I have defended sterling on here but I think we need to accept that he cannot translate his club form to international football and we need to try others in his place - I'm not sure Rashford is the answer either. Maybe if Lookman has a breakout season next year? Sterling as an impact sub from now on for me.

Don't want to see jones or wellbeck in another England squad, they wouldn't get a sniff if they didn't play for man u and arsenal and that represents everything we have historically done wrong in our squad selection in years gone by.

Promising but some areas where work is still needed.
We look forward to Gareth returning next term and building on the good start he has made this year.
7/10.

Over achieved. Just needed a Gazza type performance from one of the attacking players to bring it home.

I think the draw flattered us but you can only beat what’s in front of you. History says we finished beaten semi-finalists which is a great improvement from the last two tournaments. We were better than I would have dreamt before the start and we played three sides that won their groups, coming up short against one of them but beating a side that had the world champions in theirs.

We have some decent young players in the squad, some decent ones left at home injured and some real good prospects coming through.
Our future looks good but I suppose most countries would say the same.

Average

Performed a lot better that I thought we would. Really pleased with the progress being made. Our youth teams are performing well on all fronts with some exciting players coming through.

Trippier our best player.

I think we lacked a bit of a plan B when we needed a goal and time running out. Maybe a Crouch?

Very good. Not the results particularly but the cohesiveness. It’s good to see England looking like a team. We need 2 or 3 of these youngsters to progress to being world class and then we will be a serious threat.

Maguire and Trippier impressed me.

was good

we reached a semi final. we won on penalties. we lost to a good Croatian side instead of being dumped out by the likes of Iceland. we could actually see our players finding each other. some great memories were created on our road to the semi finals.

there are negatives. we have some alright players but unfortunately struggle to create that many chances against better sides and when chances are created not enough of them are able to put them away. we looked prone to an error at the back. we seem to only have one system which could be counter attacked. need something more in midfield.

of course I'm being a bit biased but I do believe that Shelvey and Lookman should of been there. plus a big centre forward to add something different.

I was very impressed with Pickford. didn't give him a lot of praise before the world cup but now I really think he's a top keeper.

Trippier was brilliant. created so many chances.

if sterling engaged his brain he would be one of the best players England (i know he's actually Jamaican but you know what i mean) has ever produced. just needs to make better decisions.

Maguire was very good most of the time.

Kane went off the pace in our last couple of games but before that he was so composed and dependable up front.

todays 3rd place game was a real disappointment. poor way to end a good tournament for us. I'm sure Gareth will not be pleased with that.

anyway...

onwards to the Euros under a manager in Southgate who I have really grown to respect and like over the course of these last couple of weeks.

We Still Believe

Haven't read everything posted

Good, no better no worse.

Tripper, Maguire, Lingard and Pickford all massive pluses

Stones, Kane, Young, Walker played as expected.

Henderson had the 6 games of his life.

Ali and Sterling a mixed bag.

Going forward Sessignon needs to come in on the left, Gomez at the right side of defence.

More than anything we need a 10, a Modric, an Eriksion, not a Messi, maybe a Forden? Or Ben Reeves ;-)

Over hyped hysteria. We played shit teams and lost to a mediocre Croatia and Belgium. We're still pants

Are you saying Kane should take up alcohol?

WMT, for me the best players for England this world Cup were largely defensive ones, even though they contributed in an attacking sense as well.

Kane scored 5 goals against Tunisia/Panama, and 1 against Colombia (which was a penalty). Good work, but not anything more than I'd expect from such a great striker.

But the ultimate point is that there has been no stand out performance from an attacking midfielder type.

In 90 Gazza was that player. I went to Germany the following summer on a school trip and the German family I stayed with were still raving about him to me then one year later, even though they'd beaten us.

Very good and Trippier stand out player
