France didn't get the win but Kylian Mbappe got the record on Saturday. For now.
The French star became the all-time leading goal scorer in World Cup history with 22 after his second goal of his club's third-place match against England in Miami Gardens, Florida, US.
Despite Mbappe's efforts, France lost 6-4 as their attempted comeback from a 4-0 halftime deficit fell short.
