England is showing some good football and score will probably lift some morale but the opponent is not the strongest - would you agree? They came out strong just to follow with serious of stupid mistakes, penalties and lost temper very quickly. 2nd half should be cancelled right away. Well done England, hope they won't get overconfident with the final score before playing Belgium, although both teams secured 2nd stage already, so no pressure.
I think the team we meet in the next round will be the mediocre test.
England weren't perfect today but a 6-1 win is a 6-1 win.

Just looking at the current odds, Belgium 4th favourites around 8/1, England 6th favourites around 10/1. So based on the bookies, par for England is quarter finals, Belgium Semi finals.
I don’t thing there will be much between the teams, but on paper Belgium have more big game match winners. They are very much in a golden generation and expectations are high.
England are a younger team, lower on the expectation curve, it’s probably the next world cup where English expectations should be higher, as the U21 world cup winning squad should be featuring then.
De bruyne and Hazard are great players but Argentina had Aguero, Messi and Higuain and it got them nowhere.
England are far more of a team and Kane is a much better striker than Lukaku.
