France vs England

England claimed the World Cup bronze medal with a stunning 6-4 win over France in Miami, after racing into a 4-0 halftime lead. Bukayo Saka's hat-trick was the headline act, but the real drama came after the break when Kylian Mbappé dragged France back into contention with a rapid brace. England's rout started early through Declan Rice (3') and Ezri Konsa (18'), before Saka added two more (37', 45+2'). Mbappé (48', 66') and Bradley Barcola (54') pulled France back to 4-3, only for Saka to convert a penalty in the 87th minute. Ousmane Dembélé (90+5') set up a grandstand finish before Jude Bellingham settled it deep into stoppage time. No cards marred the ten-goal spectacle. For England, it's their best World Cup finish since lifting the trophy in 1966. For France, the comeback offers pride but not consolation, a first-half collapse that proved too costly to fully repair despite the spirited late surge.
