Overview
- England beat France 6-4 in the World Cup third-place match at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on Saturday, leaving France fourth and ending Didier Deschamps’s run as coach.
- France collapsed to a 4-0 deficit by half-time after early goals from Declan Rice, Ezri Konsa and two from Bukayo Saka, then rallied in the second half to pull back to 4-3 before late Saka and Jude Bellingham strikes decided the game.
- Kylian Mbappé scored twice in the second half to record his 22nd World Cup goal and surpass Lionel Messi as the tournament's all-time top scorer, a personal milestone he and others said felt hollow after the defeat.
- Deschamps made heavy rotation for his final match, making six changes to the side that lost to Spain, and media and staff reported low motivation and worrying body language from some players before kick-off.
- The scoreline has intensified debate over France’s squad balance and consistency, with coverage noting defensive frailties and suggesting a fresh tactical and personnel review under the coach reported by some outlets as a likely successor, Zinédine Zidane.
