The context

This is the match after. Opposed in the said small final of the World Cup, Saturday, in St. Petersburg, Belgium and England will try to finish their World as best as possible. As incredible as it may seem, finishing third in the World Cup still has meaning and importance. Semi-finalist of the World Cup 98, Croatia had achieved a remarkable finish in France by beating the Netherlands at Parc des Princes twenty years ago (1-2). As a youngster at the time, the Balkan nation had branded its history and that of the competition (we are still talking about the Boban-Suker generation in 2018).
      

Four years later, Turkey left its mark by defeating the host country, South Korea, after a superb meeting (2-3). This match for 3rd place is also a date. These two young selections must see in him a starting point and not an accomplishment.
      

Despite their bad destinies in the semifinals, English and Belgian will have the goal of remaining indelibly in the winners of the competition. Above all, they will be able to continue the tradition of the nice little final. For twenty years, the most useless meetings of the competition are also the most pleasant. Unbridled, open, devoid of significant pressure, they have always offered entertainment and goals (see the 3 numbers to remember). It's the context that wants that. But it's okay. It's a sweet summer aperitif before Sunday's main course.
      

The history of this Belgium – England is also symbolic. Having fallen in the same group in the first round, the two nations had clashed in a strange context on the last day. Already qualified and obliged to compete for first place – which ensured a more difficult course in the final phase to the winner – English and Belgians had turned their troops and offered a very small show. It was Belgium bis who won (1-0). Place to the small revenge. The winner will take for the first time in its history the 3rd step of the World Cup. For their last small final, Belgium (1986) and England (1990) took 4th place. The place of the con, it's over.

The Player to Watch: Eden Hazard

If Roberto Martinez is planning to field the best possible team (while doing management), chances are we'll see one last time Eden Hazard. Very good and regular at this World Cup, the Chelsea player can bring one last piece to his building and make a date with the title of best player of the competition. Excellent in his choice balls on foot for a month, the international has turned into a more complete player than usual in Russia. Moreover on a strictly statistical, the player trained in Lille, author of two goals and two badists, ahead of its competitors.
      

The 3 figures to remember

  • 2 – This is the first time since the World Cup 2002 that two teams meet twice in the same competition. Sixteen years ago, Brazil and Turkey had crossed twice (in the first round and in the semifinals).
  • 3 – Since the 1978 edition, the match 3rd place offers at least 3 goals. The last time there was less was at the 1974 World Cup, when Poland beat Brazil by the smallest margin (0-1).
  • 6 – This is the number of goals scored by Harry Kane, current top scorer in the competition. The striker Tottenham can exceed the wall of six if he finds the opening against Belgium. The latter has only been beaten once since 1974, at the 2002 World Cup by Ronaldo (8 goals).

They said

           Roberto Martinez (Belgium coach)

" The approach is very clear, we are going to line up the best team possible, it may be necessary to make some changes as it will be the 7th match played in a very short period of time.This will be the same tactical match.There will be no surprises.We want to leave with a good feeling. "

Gareth Southgate (England coach)

" There is a lot of motivation, Belgium has already beaten us so we would like to settle this, we have the opportunity to win a medal at the World Cup, which only another English team has already realized. "

Our opinion:

Always complicated to badyze this kind of meeting. But at the game of bench depth and sheer quality, clear and clear advantage to Belgium. Rather supplied with spare parts, the country of Benelux seems to have the best weapons to win this meeting, including offensively. Watch out for the strength of the English on set pieces and Harry Kane, dumb for two games, who can complete his work and finish top scorer of the competition. Romelu Lukaku, 4 goals, will be on the lookout for this distinction.
