It’s not a match that either side wants to be in, but a match that means something nevertheless. Fresh off their respective heartbreakers, France and England now clash for third place at the 2026 World Cup.Les Bleus were undefeated tournament favorites, on the verge of their third straight final, before they got completely stifled by Spain on Tuesday. The Three Lions held a late lead against Argentina on Wednesday, before Lionel Messi’s brilliance (plus some questionable decisions) made for total devastation.Still, one team has to finish in third, with an opportunity to end on a relatively high note. The English would secure their deepest World Cup run since the 1966 championship. The French would send off manager Didier Deschamps with dignity. Their star, Kylian Mbappé, also gets a chance to become the first back-to-back Golden Boot winner.For neutrals, this becomes a fond farewell to two entertaining teams.
