AS SPAIN AND Argentina prepare for the 2026 World Cup final, England and France must pick themselves up for the third-place play-off.
Or bronze final, as Fifa are calling it to make everyone involved feel better.
England crashed out after holders Argentina completed another stunning comeback to win a dramatic semi-final 2-1. France – many people’s favourites for the tournament – were sent packing by European champions Spain, the final score 2-0.
The ultimate prize is out of sight for both, but they’ll be looking to finish the tournament in as high a position as possible. An all-time Golden Boot race continues too, with France’s Kylian Mbappé level with Lionel Messi on eight, and England duo Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham in hot pursuit with six apiece.
