England lost its semi-final World Cup match against Croatia on Wednesday, bringing an end to the hopes of that bloke who jumped through a bus shelter ceiling and millions of others like him. Cynical fans might say it's inevitable – England haven't won a World Cup since 1966 – but with its first semi-final placing since 1990, and excellent performances from individual players like goalie Jordan Pickford, England's team can leave with some sense of accomplishment and improvement over previous years.
