    Looking at the stats England have been pretty dismal so it should be a Belgian win with ease.

    Somehow meaningless game. FIFA should scrap it Anyway congrats Belgium 3rd place & a good tournament for them; also England did pretty well. Best result since 1990 in Italy - staggering 28 years ago. EPL is the best & richest Football League on the planet - The last 8 or even better should be the minimum in the future. They dominated Croatia for quite some time - so a win was definitely possible in the Semifinal - but after the equaliser England had nothing left in the tank. I'm sure they will be bouncing back. Euro 2020 the next goal.

    England will never have a clearer path to the finals in our lifetime than this W.C. That's gotta' sting.

    England - one of the best league in the world but sadly for them most of the best players in that league are French Italian Spanish Belgians Argentinians Brazilians etc not english.

    they need to do more to groom Home made talent.

    There's something fishy about England and their home grown talent. Some are put on a pedestal and over-hyped (i.e. Harry Kane). Some are absolutely crucified by the press (i.e. Raheem Sterling). It's not a healthy place to be a national player.

    England
    Played 6 won 3 lost 3

    Were not able to give Harry Kane good quality ball. I know there is a euphoria about getting so far in the tournament but on paper it was meh.

    Croatia for tonight. They want it more.
