World Cup live updates: France vs. England lineups, preview for third-place game
Neither England or France want to play in this game. They would rather be in New Jersey vying for the World Cup title. Instead, they'll face off in Miami for third place after both losing in the semifinals. There are some angles to this match that will be interesting to follow. First, it is the final one in charge of France for Didier Deschamps. The former midfielder led his country to titles at the 1998 World Cup and 2000 Euros as a player. As a manager, Les Bleus made back-to-back World Cup finals, winning in 2018. His 14 years in charge will come to an end on Saturday with Zinedine Zidane expected to replace him. Kylian Mbappé is still in the hunt for his second straight World Cup Golden Boot . Entering his final match of the tournament, the France star is tied with Argentina's Lionel Messi with eight goals, though Messi holds the tiebreaker with one more assist. England, meanwhile, is still recovering from the dramatic loss to Argentina in the semifinals. It was a defeat that has led to pointed criticism at manager Thomas Tuchel and his decision to have his team sit back and defend after Anthony Gordon's opening goal. Will it be his final match in charge of the Three Lions?
