the point is that we should be putting teams like Algeria away. True, we dominated that game, but we still couldn't score. I always hate the "we would have won except for all these mistakes" argument. Great teams don't miss that many scoring opportunities. Great teams don't get down 2 goals to Slovenia.
Look, at some level were talking past each other. Yes, we have an easier route to the semis than the average team. But it would be a fallacy to interpret this as an "easy route" in the absolute sense. This is all I was trying to point out.

Let's not forget we needed 91 minutes to beat Algeria.
