World Cup 2026 latest: buildup to France v England third-place playoff and Spain v Argentina final

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is heading into its final weekend, with England facing France in the third-place playoff and Spain taking on Argentina in the final. A notable story surrounding the tournament involves a rediscovered 2007 Unicef charity calendar photo showing a 19-year-old Lionel Messi bathing a four-month-old Lamine Yamal, taken in the away dressing room at Camp Nou for a Barcelona-Unicef collaboration. The image, captured by photographer Monfort, has drawn widespread attention given that both players are now competing at the same World Cup.
