the english thought they would win the world cup but can't even finish in the top 3. at least i won't need to listen to english people try make out 3rd place as some kind of achievement. i won't put it past them to try make 4th place sound like some kind of achievement.

Oh my god, go fuckoff. Joyless moron.

This game was the make or break one for me, yes they got far but beating Panama, Tunisia, Colombia, and Sweden would be expected of most teams, then for 2 games we have played half decent teams and lost.

The only plus has been the players playing for love of the shirt, and not because they feel entitled.

The next few championships will tell how far this team can go.

I can 100% guarantee you that Belgium cares and if England was winning everyone in England would care as well.

Winning 3rd always makes you think about what if you did just a little better or had better luck in the last match. It might feel better years down the line the the players can show the medal to grandkids and say talk about how close they were to winning it all.

Better than Argentina, Portugal, Brazil, Germany, Spain, Uruguay... basically better than anything who isn't France, Croatia, or Belgium achieved.
lol ok. england have won the world cup before but croatia have never got this far. also belgium isn't a team you'd expect to finish 3rd.

love english sympathisers getting excuses in.

Random thought, seeing Belgium here: if they'd lost that last group game against England, would they have made it to the final?

Nobody supporting England in this thread thought they would win the World Cup. The goal was to get out of the group. 4th is a massive achievement for this young group of players.

Why do you hate England so much?

Well at least you don't go home after a loss or in the case of 4th place, two losses. At the end of the game the team that wins 3rd probably even feels better than the team that "wins" 2nd.

brazil was a far stronger opponent than england, even if we scores twice, the second half of BEL-BRA absolutely killed my nerves
