And it's left me thinking, does it matter that England aren't playing that well?
I mean, there's so many holes you could pick in the England performance.
I mean, this was, I think, was probably worse than some of the England performances we've seen so far, but...
When you've got the mentality and the will to win that they showed firstly in the Azteca and then again here, and when you've got individual players like Kane and Bellingham who can determine games in the way that they did, I don't know how much of that counts anymore.
I don't think anybody will want to play England.
I think they have a real togetherness which can count for a lot.
And sure, they could easily get ripped apart by a good player.
There's clearly gaps in that defence, although I did think they handled Haarlem pretty well.
But I do think that England have a lot of momentum.
They're in a brilliant position.
They're still in the tournament and they're playing the semi-final in Atlanta on Wednesday.

That is the Azteca Stadium behind me.
England have just won here 3-2, or at least they did a few hours ago.
They're in the quarterfinals of the World Cup.
And I think that was the best game I've ever been to.
I don't think I can remember anything comparable to it.
Certainly not in terms of atmosphere.
It was even better than I expected.
It was significantly louder than I expected.
I thought that the game was kind of endlessly fascinating, exhausting.
