• This goal was the earliest that a Belgium player had scored in a World Cup.
• Now, England needed to tie the scoreboard but Belgium’s defense proved too strong for them as the first half ended with Belgium in the lead.

• In the 2nd half, early substitutions were made by England as Rashford and Jesse Lingard were induced into the attack.

• But despite several chances, England could not convert a single one of them into a goal.
• On the other hand, Belgium’s midfielder, Eden Hazard doubled the lead at the 82nd minute by surging the ball into the nets.
• With about 10 minutes left to play, England needed to score but poor attacking play was shown as England lost to Belgium to claim the 4th spot in the World Cup 2018.

The difference between Lukaku’s Belgium and Kane’s England is that Belgium worked hard to get here while England were luckily pitched against easy teams. Belgium deserves the bronze #BELENG

The top and bottom of England’s entire World Cup campaign, is that they lost to every half decent side they played.

England lost to Belgium twice and to Croatia. They beat Panama, Tunisia, Colombia and Sweden. Yet people are acting like this was some massive achievement. They beat teams they should beat and got spanked by good teams. How is that amazing? #Eng #Bel #BELENG

Reality:
-England have lost to every decent side they faced.
-Kane scored 3 penalties, 2 tap-ins & a defelcted goal.
-2nd lowest shots per 90.

Media:
-England are entering into a new era of pogressive football.
-England are favourites for the next EUROs.
-Kane delivered
