England coach Gareth Southgate and his captain Harry Kane have been rewarded in Queen Elizabeth II-s New Year honors list on the back of the team-s surprise run to the World Cup semifinals.

Away from soccer, Geraint Thomas, who won cycling-s Tour de France in July and was named BBC Sports Personality of the Year earlier this month, gets an OBE, while former England cricket captain Alastair Cook and ex-England rugby skipper Bill Beaumont received knighthoods. After decades of disappointment at major tournaments, England-s soccer team matched its best overseas World Cup performance earlier this year.
