I'd rather they get the majority of decisions right in all honesty.

Well played Iran, well organised and unlucky with the goal. I can see them doing Portugal
Really really dislike VAR. the fallibility of the officials is part of what makes the game.

BBI think the record suggests that our hardest opponents have been Germany, Brazil and Argentina.
I believe we do produce talented players. I think there might be an issue with the way they are coached, regarding discouraging flair etc, but that doesn't mean the press haven't played their part in our failure nationally. The English Press and Media generally appear to dislike successful people, sportsmen included. Steve 'Davis, the best snooker player in the world was called 'Boring' by the press, yet Eddie 'the eagle' Edwards, the rubbish skier, was a hero. Frank Bruno was a hero before he became World Champion, then he was ridiculed after he did!The England football team is a different commodity in respect of the player's changing all the time, but as a new team is assembled they are tarred with the same brush as the failed old team.
