England's standing getting better

[Franchise FC]

In better shape than France
Better than Italy (USA ranked 14, Algeria ranked 30 - Paraguay ranked 31, New Zealand ranked 78)
Cameroon are already out

Worst case we're 29th !!

Unless that's gin or vodka, the glass is half empty
(if it is g or v, the glass is perfectly filled... just enough room to add a twist of lemon, some ice and a splash of tonic!)

EDIT: hmm, my 750th post shows what a temperate and controlled drinker I am

North Korea out - 28th and counting

France and South Africa out. Can't finish worse than France, although we could do worse than South Africa if we lose or draw.
