All weaknesses of England were exposed in their semi-final fixture against Croatia, and Southgate’s failure to tactically adjust to situation on the field resulted with a devastating loss for this team everyone expected to go all the way.

In 2014 Belgium managed to get to quarterfinals, but lost to Argentina. But, times are different now and this is considered to be the best team this country has ever had in their history.
Tite restored order in the team after he took over from Dunga, and made Brazil look like World Cup contenders. They have immense attacking potential, but lacks creativity in bringing the ball out from the back if Coutinho doesn’t start in midfield.
