England took on Belgium in their final Group G encounter knowing a win or a draw would have seen them top the group.

But a 1-0 defeat to the Red Devils condemned England to second place and a tricky Last 16 match against Colombia

AS IT UNFOLDED: England v Belgium in Kalingrad

It’s not all bad for England though, if the Three Lions can get past their match against Colombia they will avoid a quarter final against Brazil or Mexico.
