France v England

That will go down as one of the best World Cup games of all time! England have defeated France 6-4 at Miami Stadium to finish third at the 2026 World Cup! Rice set the tone for the match early on, scoring a curler from distance in the third minute before assisting Konsa's header from a corner soon afterwards. Tuchel's side entered the break with a 4-0 lead after Saka first tapped in from Rashford's unselfish pass before scoring a second with a brilliant finish from the edge of the box. France, however, showed their quality in the second half. Mbappe scored their first in the 48th minute before assisting Barcola before the hour as Les Bleus halved the deficit. The France captain then netted again to become the leading scorer in World Cup history, at least until Lionel Messi takes to the field for Sunday's final, and both of his goals were assisted by Olise, with his seven assists the most of any player at a single edition of the tournament on record (since 1966). Just as France looked to be building towards a leveller, Gusto fouled Spence in the box at the other end, and Saka sealed his hat-trick from the penalty spot. There was still time for more drama, with Dembele scoring in the 96th minute before Bellingham ensured victory in the 98th with a stunning solo goal. In the end, it was not the way Deschamps wanted to end his time as France boss, but he will be comforted by a spirited performance from his men. That's all from us. We hope you enjoyed our coverage, and we'll see you for Sunday's final! Goodbye!

FULL-TIME: FRANCE 4-6 ENGLAND

90'+8'

Goal

GOALLLLLL!!!!! ENGLAND 6-4!!!! BELLINGHAM GETS IN ON THE ACT! The Real Madrid star shows incredible composure to dribble past three France defenders in the box before making it 6-4 with a simple finish! His seven goals at the World Cup are the most by an England player across a single edition of the competition. Game over!

Upamecano has certainly done himself proud in this second half. His interception and pass to Dembele has given France some hope!

90'+6'

Goal

GOOALLLLLLL!!!! DEMBELE SCORES FOR FRANCE!!! IT'S NOT OVER YET! Upamecano intercepts a pass from Rice, and as he did for France's first goal, pushes forward before passing to Dembele. The PSG man gets the better of Chalobah and fires in with his left foot. France 4-5 England!

Olise tries a shimmy to get past Spence, but the England defender makes a strong tackle. Spence stays down after clearing the ball, but he is able to continue.
