Today, Belgium defeated England 2-0, claiming third place at the tournament, which is their best performance ever at a World Cup. They had previously finished fourth at the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico.
The Belgian headcoach, Martinez said: “We wanted to win it [the World Cup]. When you beat Brazil and get into the semi-final, the focus has to be to try to win the World Cup. But you need to be realistic when you finish the tournament and look back. These players made history back in Belgium and that’s all that matters. These players deserve to have that accolade.”
The 2018 FIFA World Cup kicked off on June 14 and will come to a close on Sunday, with France facing Croatia in the final, which will be played at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium.
