Belgium earned its highest World Cup finish on Saturday by beating England 2-0 in the third-place match.
Thomas Meunier and Eden Hazard scored a goal each for the Belgians, who lost to France in the semifinals on Tuesday.
Meunier scored in the fourth minute, knocking a cross from Nacer Chadli past England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
Hazard added the other off a pass from Kevin de Bruyne in the 82nd.
Toby Alderweireld denied England’s best chance of the game, sliding on the goal line to clear a shot from Eric Dier.
England, which lost to Croatia in the semifinals, matched its best World Cup result – fourth in 1990 – since winning the tournament for the only time in 1966.
France and Croatia will play in the final on Sunday at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow.
