October 15, 2018

So, it wasn’t a dream after all. At times during the last three months we have had cause to wonder whether the World Cup really happened, whether England really did rediscover their swagger and a place at international football’s top table, as Gareth Southgate’s team made a stuttering start to the Nations League.
