The England team, having lost yesterday to France (1:2) in the 1/4 finals of the 2022 World Cup, left the World Cup at this stage of the tournament for the seventh time.
This was a unique indicator in the history of the world championships: no other team has been knocked out of the World Cup in the quarter-finals the same or more times.
The “quarter-final failures” of the English national team were at the 1954 World Cup, 1962 World Cup, 1970 World Cup, 1986 World Cup, 2002 World Cup, 2006 World Cup, 2022 World Cup.
