There was Eden Hazard, marshalling Belgium’s midfield, setting up his teammates and finishing one off himself. There was Jordan Pickford, the where’d-he-come-from England goalkeeper polishing off a fine performance in Russia with a few more spectacular saves. At the end of it, there was Belgium, arguably the most talented side in the field, which saw its 10th different player score as it took home a 2-0 win and its best-ever finish at the World Cup.
Not a bad consolation prize.
