English captain Harry Kane knows his side can perform better at the 2022 World Cup (via BreakingnewsUK.com):

It’s been great to get to this stage and we know we’ve done everyone proud, but we wanted to go on and we wanted to win it. We felt we were good enough and we felt we could have done that, but we fell a bit short. It hurts. The next step is now to go one further, it’s a great foundation we’ve built with the gaffer over the last couple of years and we just need to carry that on but we want more. We’re sad for the fans here and at home. We have to dust ourselves done and be proud of what we achieved and go again in a couple of years.

Ian Darke joked about the time between these England-Belgium matchups: Overwatch license key generator.

Coming up .the most pointless England v Belgium game since ..er, the last one two weeks ago.

Kaveh Solhekol believes both teams should be gunning to claim third in this prestigious tournament:

Don’t understand everyone turning their noses up at England’s play off against Belgium. Not often you get chance to finish third in a World Cup

ESPN UK published a quote from England boss Gareth Southgate in wake of his squad’s loss in the semifinals:

Southgate also claimed that he would have his players ready to perform with pride in the third-place game, even though it’s not a match they prefer to be involved with (via Sky News):

The honest thing is it's not a game any team wants to play in. We have two days to prepare. We will want to give a performance of huge pride. There's no question about that. It's always there every time we wear the shirt of our national team, we want to play with pride, we want to play well and win. Of course it is going to be a really difficult task over the next 24 hours to assess everybody and to get everybody mentally back to where we want them for a game like that.

France vs. Croatia World Cup Final

Croatia manager Zlatko Dalic spoke about how his side would not give up against England (via Reuters):

Some players played with minor injuries with which they would not have played some other games. Two players played with half a leg, but it didn’t show. Nobody wanted to give in when I was preparing the first eleven, nobody wanted to say I was not ready in extra time, no one wanted to be subbed and this shows character and what makes me proud. Nobody gave up

FOX Soccer tweeted an interesting graphic to get fans hyped for the final:

Darren Lewis thinks that Croatia was a bit too confident after beating England:

Croatia ungraciously coating off England post-match, forgetting France are waiting for them in the Final. #goodluck

French star Paul Pogba stated that his squad is not going to make the same mistakes that it did by underestimating Portugal in the finals of Euro 2016 (via Reuters):

We are conscious of the situation, we do not want to make the same mistakes like two years ago. We want to work for it, to give everything we have to take this Cup home. I think at the Euro we thought it was already a done deal, the mentality was not the same as now. I cannot lie that when we beat Germany we thought that was the final. I know the taste of losing a final. I don’t want it to happen again. Against Portugal we thought we had won it before the start of the game. That will not happen again.

Rob Beckett isn’t exactly thrilled with this finals matchup:

I’ve got a confession. I spent a small fortune on travel, accommodation and a World Cup Final ticket. Now I’ve got to go and watch France v Croatia and I don’t know how to deal with it.

UNILAD Football noted that this Croatia-France showdown keeps a certain streak alive:

After Croatia and France reached the final, the record of Inter Milan and Bayern Munich having a player in every World Cup final since 1982 is still preserved. Ivan Perisic and Marcelo Brozovic will represent Inter, while Corentin Tolisso plays for Bayern. pic.twitter.com/s0Fy3yHPKW

Croatia talisman Luka Modric revealed that his teammates were inspired by the disrespect they received from pundits (via USA Today):

We showed again we were not tired. We dominated the game physically, mentally, in all aspects. English journalists, pundits from television, they underestimated Croatia and that was a huge mistake. They should be more humble and respect more opponents. All these words from them we take, we were reading and we were saying, ‘OK, today we will see who will be tired’. It is the biggest success in Croatian history in sport and we have to be proud.

Tim and Sid pondered if the Blazers have enough left in the tank after all of their knockout stage matches went to extra time:

Will Croatia have enough left in the tank to take down France after all of the minutes they've racked up during this #WorldCup?@jamessharman stopped by #TimAndSid yesterday to chat about that with @evankaosmak and @donnovanbennett. pic.twitter.com/M8MKGmylbb
