World cup Football-23
Belgium and England both leave the World Cup happy to have reached the semifinals. Belgium may be a little happier, though. The Belgians earned their highest World Cup finish by beating England 2-0 in the third-place match on Saturday. Thomas Meunier and Eden Hazard scored a goal each. Meunier’s early goal matched a World Cup record for Belgium by having 10 different players score in a tournament, something only done before by France in 1982 and Italy in 2006. Belgium’s previous best finish at the World Cup was fourth, but the team outplayed England in the midfield to go one better this time.
