3rd Place: England ALMOST Throw It Away: 4-0 Up, Then CHAOS vs France (Rabona TV)

from World Soccer Talk

England were 4-0 up at half time… and ALMOST threw it away AGAIN. France roared back to 4-3 and came within inches of leading before England won a 10-goal classic 6-4 to take third place. Plus: Kylian Mbappe breaks Lionel Messi's all-time World Cup goals record. Full breakdown below. This was the maddest game of the tournament, with the most goals in a World Cup match since 1982. England raced into a 4-0 half-time lead in Miami: Declan Rice curled one in after just 134 seconds, Ezri Konsa headed home a corner, and Bukayo Saka struck twice before the break against a France side that barely showed up. Then everything flipped. Kylian Mbappe scored in the 48th, Bradley Barcola made it 4-2 on 54, and Mbappe's second on 66 minutes brought France within one; a goal that also took him past Lionel Messi as the all-time leading World Cup goalscorer on 22, with Messi able to respond in Sunday's final. France had chances to level and even lead before Saka's 87th-minute penalty completed his hat-trick, Ousmane Dembele struck deep in stoppage time, and Jude Bellingham had the final word at 90+8 to seal 6-4. England finish third, their best World Cup since 1966, days after their semi-final collapse against Argentina. And, Bellingham becomes the first Englishman to score seven at a World Cup. It was also Didier Deschamps' last game after 14 years in charge of France. I break down the chaos, the records, and what it all means.
