Belgium have taken the bronze medal, they very least they deserve from a strong campaign. England finish fourth, equalling their best ever achievement at an overseas World Cup và surpassing all reasonable people’s pre-tournament predictions. Having said that, given how the draw panned out, this was a par result. Beyond results, however, they played or at least acted with a personality that rekindled their country’s affection for their national team and that will be the abiding memory for them from the 2018 World Cup.
