Well, yeah. Hence why I’m focusing on the strength of the sides who knocked that side out vs the sides who knocked this one out. Brazil, Argentina, Portugal of that side vs Croatia and Italy for this one. Impossible to say, I know, but imagine you swapped the England sides. Does anyone think this England side of today would have got past any of those sides back then who knocked us out? I don’t. Do I think the Golden Generation would have had better success against Croatia in 2018 or Italy last year? Yes I do. Fair enough if this side of today had gone out to France or another top side but they’ve lost to sides they should be beating.
