サッカーW杯３位でしたね！って英語でなんて言うの？

When you are making small talk, a question is most helpful because it makes sure that your listener knows that you are expecting a response. Using the phrase "what do you think" will open it up so that they can respond in a variety of ways which can launch into a steady conversation. I hope that this helps :)

In an effort to make small talk you may use any of the following sentences; How did you feel when Belgium came third place in the world cup? I am impressed that your country came third in the world cup. Belgium did well in the world cup, they played very well. By asking questions you are stating a conversation and by paying compliments you are setting a positive, comfortable atmosphere for a conversation.

Well, if your coworker is from Belgium, he will be well aware that his country finished third - so that is unnecessary information. A more worthy comment might be in the form of a congratulatory remark as exampled above. To have a 'run' in a competition means to get through one or more stages of that competition.

"Congrats on placing third at the world cup!" Placing here means on achieving third place. This is a simple way of expressing your excitement for your friend. "Are you excited that Belgium came third place in the world cup event?" This is a polite way of asking a friend if they are pleased (happy) with the outcome, and is a great way to start a conversation and have small talk (light conversation).

These are congratulatory phrases which can be exchanged between friends or in an informal setting.

If the person you are talking to comes from that country then you can refer to Belgium as 'your country' by asking them if they are proud or what did they think this might make them feel good and encourage them to talk to you you could also tell them how well their country did

"Where" is the word used when describing a place or position, in this case third place. "Got third place" a more of a casual way of expressing this, and can be used in a variety of sentences "I got my haircut" "You got tickets to the football game?!"
