Mbappé Surpasses Messi in Historic Third-Place Thriller | Fayetteville News

England and France delivered a wild, record-breaking third-place World Cup thriller, with Bukayo Saka’s hat trick leading England to a 6-4 victory in the highest-scoring World Cup game since 1982. Kylian Mbappé smashed history with two goals, overtaking Messi for most all-time World Cup goals at 22, and now leads the Golden Boot race with 10 in this tournament. England’s coach Thomas Tuchel hailed the run as a success, even without the trophy, while Jude Bellingham set a new England record with his seventh goal. France’s Barcola and Dembélé added late goals, and Messi still has a shot to reclaim top scorer honors in the final. Mbappé admitted he’d rather be in the final than history’s top scorer. With over 64,000 fans roaring, this “low-stakes” match proved anything but. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
