only World Cup triumph came on home soil in 1966, and they are still searching for a second appearance in the final. They\u2019ve not yet reached another final, but have fallen short in the 1990, 2018, and now 2026 semi-finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On both previous occasions, England were unable to win the third-place match: they lost 2-1 to hosts Italy in 1990, then suffered a 2-0 defeat to Belgium in 2018, leaving them with fourth-place finishes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
