If anyone is wondering why England fans are okay with this semi consider the following
1998-2016 England wasted maybe it's best ever generation of players.
Recently things got so bad between the fans and players
Rooney literary criticised them as he walked off the pitch after a 0-0 draw with Algeria
Lost to Iceland (no offence to Iceland)
New manager
Sam Allardyce fired after 1 game because he tried to abuse the position for his own greed (which really goes to show how little people cared at about the national team)
Now consider the last 2 years
England U17 won the world cup
England U20 won the world cup
England made it to the semis (with the youngest team at the world cup)
Kane golden boot (?)
It's no exactly a secret England have had problems for a long time (most of which are our own making) but if you can't see the progress there I don't know what to tell you.
