WHEN the giants have fallen, the impacts have been colossal at this World Cup.
But Gareth Southgate is hoping he has rendered England earthquake-proof ahead of tonight's assignment with the USA at the Al Bayt Stadium.
England have it in their power to qualify for the knockout stages with a game to spare after their opening 6-2 win over Iran.
But at a tournament where the shocks, when they have come, have been seismic he has made it his priority to ensure the Three Lions are as insulated as possible.
They have been steeled, by his demands for a mental reset, against the sort of mugging that befell Argentina and Germany.
"It's a reminder we can't take any game for granted and our humility has to be at a level where we're preparing for the next two opponents, who might be ranked slightly lower than us but are both in different ways really dangerous," said Southgate.
