These complimentary players are just complimenting each other and they have been getting results. In many cases, such a team does not get the results they need, but England is doing it. To employ a cliche, they know who they are and they seem content with it.
Oh I couldn't agree more.

As has been pointed out, England might even win the Cup this year. Would that make them the best national team in the world? Certainly not.
I believe you exaggerated Casimiro's role quite a bit. Plus you seem to confuse better team with most talented team.
Since England keeps beating everyone in their path, I'm sure they are (at least)one of the most capable to gain points, right ?
