England is just 5 minutes away from the World Cup final
At the 85th minute, they were still leading Argentina 1-0.
But in the final minutes, they conceded two goals in quick succession, and the match ended 1-2—meaning the final ticket they looked set to secure slipped away.
Now they have to battle France for third place
------------------------------
France vs England
I think France will take third place, with a scoreline leaning toward 2-1, 3-2.
France should really want to win this match—it's Deschamps’ last game in charge of the French national team; once it’s over, he officially bids farewell.
Mbappé also still has the Golden Boot to contend for. He and Messi currently both have 8 goals—he just has one fewer assist, and if he scores again, he’ll have a chance to reclaim his spot.
England isn’t without opportunities either. Saliba’s back injury has flared up, so he likely won’t play, and France’s center-backs will definitely need to make changes.
If Kane can hold his position in the box, and with Bellingham surging forward from behind, it won’t be easy for France to keep a clean sheet.
My prediction: France win by a narrow margin. France had an extra day of rest, and they have more attacking options.
