THE last time England got to this stage at a World Cup there was no happy ending — a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Germany at South Africa 2010. 

Well at least we know that isn’t going to happen, Auf Wiedersehen before the postcards, ouch!

While it might do not to be too cocky, England have a decent record in the last 16 round when not up against a top-tier football nation, beating Ecuador at the 2006 World Cup, Denmark in 2002, Belgium in 1990 and Paraguay in 1986.
