World Cup highlights: France & England in a 10-goal classic

Expectations weren’t insanely high and the anticipation certainly wasn’t either — but this little final, the third-place match, whatever you want to call it, definitely proved us wrong. Because there really could be no talk of a dull, meaningless game between England and France. Here you can see all 10 (!!!) goals in the video!

After a 0–4 humiliation by halftime, the French came damn close in the second half to pulling off a sensational comeback. In the end, they didn’t quite manage it — England won the bronze final and secured third place at the 2026 World Cup.

So the third-place match really set the bar high. On Sunday evening, the very last match of the tournament awaits us, with EVERYTHING at stake. After this spectacle, we’re now naturally looking forward to the big final even a little more.
