England hold off France to win all-time WC thrille...

England defeated France 6-4 in the World Cup third-place playoff on Saturday in Miami Gardens, Florida, securing their best finish at a World Cup since 1966. Bukayo Saka scored a hat trick, with England leading 4-0 at halftime through goals from Declan Rice, Ezri Konsa, and two Saka strikes, before France staged a dramatic second-half comeback inspired by Kylian Mbappé, who scored twice and assisted. Mbappé's brace brought his tournament tally to 10 goals and moved him to 22 all-time World Cup goals, surpassing Lionel Messi as the all-time men's record holder, while France manager Didier Deschamps oversaw his final match after 14 years in charge.
