England secured the bronze medal in the FIFA World Cup 2026 after defeating France 6-4 in a high-scoring third-place playoff at the Miami Stadium today. In a chaotic and thrilling match, Bukayo Saka became only the second English player to score a World Cup knockout hat-trick, guiding the Three Lions to their best tournament finish in decades. Declan Rice and Ezri Konsa also contributed to the historic English victory.
Despite a spirited comeback attempt by France, led by Kylian Mbappé who scored two second-half goals to surpass Lionel Messi’s career World Cup scoring record, the French side ultimately fell short. All eyes are now on defending champions Argentina as they prepare to face Spain in the highly anticipated tournament final tonight at the New York-New Jersey Stadium.
