France were dreadful in the first half, they came back in the second half but missed too many chances, and England managed to hang on and withstand them. A tight game in the end, but a deserved victory for England.

What an absolutely ridiculous match lol. Shame about the first half, the second was preposterously tense.

You do have to wonder where this England was on Wednesday, but it’s a good win either way.

Loved it, and while I get that the pressure is not there, I really love how both teams behaved during and after game. Pure class

Lol score. Someone notice them this is not the grand finale.
Let the hate flows. ADIEU FRANCE!

Honestly that is what the 3rd place match is meant to be. Yes both teams would rather not play in it after losing the semis, but they still gave the fans a game.
It was just a great showcase of attacking football and players having fun. The vibes between both teams at the final whistle also looked immense.
Saka got a hat-trick but we didn’t bring him on vs Argentina is still baffling to me.

Time for Spain to show it’s magic tomorrow

where was this England against Argentina?

It was embarrassing to watch, France didn’t do anything in the first half, they really weren’t professional unlike England.

Great match. Two great teams. Loved all the chat at the end between club teammates. Nice way to end the world cup after that fiasco on Wednesday.

Tuned in to enjoy England losing again but France where such a disgrace in the first half I ended up supporting England. I feel sick just saying that. Don’t tell my neighbours or work colleagues.
I think from know on in all third place playoffs in the WC and Euros both teams should go minimal defence and all out attacking goal fest mode. It’ll make them feel better, give the fans a good time and be a fun challenge trying to set a new highest scoring match record. Ten goals will be tough to beat.

Really fun watch. Nice and light in contrast to what we know will be an ugly, brutal match tomorrow.

AND what? Against a French team that couldn’t care if this was the final. You’d lose.

The best defense is overwhelming attack 😤😤

Shocking to see a game where all the players played instead of wanting to foul and harm…

Well done both, it was great to watch.

Great game. And typically offensive. Every world cup match for bronze since 1978 has had at least 2 goals:
| Year | Winner | Score | Loser |
| :— | :— | :—: | :— |
| 1978 | Brazil | 2–1 | Italy |
| 1982 | Poland | 3–2 | France |
| 1986 | France | 4–2 (a.e.t.) | England |
| 1990 | Italy | 2–1 | England |
| 1994 | Sweden | 4–0 | Bulgaria |
| 1998 | Croatia | 2–1 | Netherlands |
| 2002 | Turkey | 3–2 | South Korea |
| 2006 | Germany | 3–1 | Portugal |
| 2010 | Germany | 3–2 | Uruguay |
| 2014 | Netherlands | 3–0 | Brazil |
| 2018 | Belgium | 2–0 | England |
| 2022 | Croatia | 2–1 | Morocco |
| 2026 | England | 6-4 | France |

You could definitely see how neither of the teams bothered to defend properly, but that’s what made the game more enjoyable to watch.
Also while the loss against Argentina definitely still stings a lot, at least this time England is not going home empty handed!

Stupid Tuchel didn’t put Saka in for the Argentina match. The result was…

That was a lot of fun, I don’t think I’ll slag off 3rd place matches anymore.

Just as well that it was an utter goalfest tonight because you know Spain Argentina is going to be a 1-0 116′ „classic“ 😴

I wonder how many kilos of coke the French team did at halftime and why did it wear off after 30 min.
pocketbeagle on
Thats not a french team lolol

Nobody cares about third place.
Zephinism on
It was a really fun game.
Dembele, Barcola & Mbappé are a scary trio.
Shame about Saliba, hopefully he will be ok after some recovery. The level of play from him with his back damage was insane.

While the French will obviously be upset, this also marks the start of a new and exciting era for their national team.
Zidane as a coach will be a dream for many of the long time fans in France. I expected it to happen sooner.
