What is the most amount of losses England have had at a World Cup finals?
Gareth Southgate's men are aiming for a third-place finish when they play Belgium in Saint Petersburg
THIS summer's World Cup has defied all expectations for England fans.
Gareth Southgate inspired his side to the last-four and eventually a play-off for third-place, which would represent their best tournament since 1966 if they can beat Belgium.
What is the most amount of losses England have had at a World Cup finals?
THE most losses England have ever recorded at a World Cup is TWO.
Going into the game against the Red Devils, England already have two losses in the 2018 World Cup - against Belgium in the groups and the ET defeat to Croatia.
It would be harsh on Southgate's England if they recorded a third in the play-off clash, which would be the most the Three Lions have ever suffered in a World Cup.
Over the years, they've tasted defeat twice in the finals of 1950, 1962, 1970, 1986 and 2014.
