The newest english generation are truly talanted.
Maybe the system should be changed to something closer to the Davis Cup in tennis where traditional powers have more advantage. Otherwise we might be seeing Panama, New Zealand, Iraq, Congo and likes as the semifinalist in future World Cups. Too many rooms for luck!

Feel so bad for Lukaku too as his first touch was a breeze outside the box, but was sloppy in front when right next to Pickford...
How Southgate thought England were going to get anything out of this game without technical players is beyond me. Loftus-Cheek seemed to be the only English player capable of making something happen in the first half.
Anyway, a big win for Belgium today, outside of the obvious 3rd place, as even after leading they played attacking football, no unnecessary fouls or dragging out plays, stalling or shenanigans like other big contenders have done! Probably one of the very few matches this WC I could watch again.
Thank you, Belgium!
Football can make a nation believe again.
