England has concluded its most successful World Cup campaign since their triumphant home tournament in 1966. That year, the "Three Lions" lifted the global trophy, a feat they haven't managed to replicate since.
They hadn't even secured a bronze medal until tonight, despite having two significant opportunities over the years.
Firstly, at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, the English side fell short against the hosts, losing 2-1.
Then, at the 2018 finals in the Russian Federation, the islanders were defeated by Belgium, succumbing to a 2-0 loss.
Today, however, the curse was broken, and England finally claimed a World Cup medal after a thrilling 6-4 victory over France.
Now, only one match remains in the 2026 World Cup, also scheduled for today, July 19th (Sunday), where Argentina and Spain will face off in the grand final at 10:00 PM Bulgarian time. This match, along with all 104 games from the global championship across the USA, Canada, and Mexico, can be watched live on bnt.sportal.bg.
