France to face England in World Cup Bronze final

France to face England in World Cup Bronze final France will face England for Saturday’s World Cup Bronze final. The game will be played in Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium at 11pm CET. The Three Lions fell to World Cup holders Argentina on Wednesday at Atlanta. Anthony Gordon opened the scoring for Thomas Tuchel’s men, but the latter came undone in the dying minutes with Lionel Messi providing a brace of assists, for Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Fernandez, to send the Albiceleste  on a collision course with Spain for the 2026 World Cup final. France will therefore meet England for the first time since the 2022 World Cup quarter-finals that  Les Bleus  won. From the penalty spot, Harry Kane cancelled Aurélien Tchouaméni’s opener. Olivier Giroud headed in the winner. Kane then skied a penalty that would have sent both teams to extra-time. Saturday’s Bronze final will be Didier Deschamps’ 185th and final game as head of  Les Bleus , before passing up the baton to his former France and Juventus teammate, Zinédine Zidane.
