Chance or English curse? In the last three World Cups: Croatia beat England 2-1 in 2018... then finished as runners-up.
France beat England 2-1 in 2022... then finished as runners-up.
Argentina beat England 2-1 in 2026... then finished as runners-up.
It seems that beating England 2-1 leads to the final... but not to the title!
