Wise Men Say

Never in our lifetimes have we seen England progress this far by showing such competency and avoiding any meaningful drama. Plenty of sides have done this only to then go out unexpectedly, so there's no over confidence here. But we can enjoy it, right?Especially taking a glance over to the (lack of) goings on at Sunderland. England reach the semi-final of a major tournament for the second time in succession. Can they go one better than in Russia? Stephen and Craig discuss and give a tiny bit of undeserved attention to the Black Cats.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
