Many Black Americans were not cheering Spain’s complicated history. They were rooting against the racism, politics and silence associated with ArgentinaThere are moments in sports when you realize people aren’t just watching the score any more. They’re watching values. They’re watching who speaks. They’re watching who stays silent. And they’re watching what those silences say.I found myself thinking about that throughout this World Cup. On paper, Sunday’s final looked simple. Spain v Argentina. Two footballing giants and countries with glorious soccer histories. Two nations whose pasts are also stained by colonization, oppression and chapters of history that shouldn’t be whitewashed simply because someone can score a goal. Continue reading...
While both nations entered the tournament dreaming of lifting the trophy, the bronze-medal match now carries an intriguing incentive beyond pride, leaving many fans wondering exactly what reward awaits the winner. France and England have one final opportunity to end their 2026 World Cup campaign on a positive note when they meet in the third-place playoff in Miami. While both nations entered the tournament dreaming of lifting the trophy, the bronze-medal match now carries an intriguing incentive beyond pride, leaving many fans wondering exactly what reward awaits the winner. The clash comes after painful semifinal defeats for both teams. France saw its title hopes ended by Spain with a 2-0 loss, while England suffered another heartbreaking exit after surrendering a late lead in a 2-1 defeat to Argentina, forcing Thomas Tuchel’s side into one last appearance before the tournament concludes. Neither side imagined its World Cup would end with a battle for third place. France entered the tournament among the favorites after another dominant run under Didier Deschamps, while England appeared destined for the final before Argentina’s dramatic late comeback. Deschamps will also oversee his final match as France manager, ending an extraordinary 14-year spell that included the 2018 World Cup title, the 2022 runners-up finish, and another semifinal appearance in 2026.

The Three Lions have previously lost both of their third-place playoff appearances, including the 2018 defeat to Belgium, making Saturday’s contest an opportunity to rewrite an unwanted piece of history. 2026 World Cup third-place play-off prize money Although the third-place playoff is often viewed as the least glamorous fixture at a World Cup, FIFA ensures there is still plenty at stake. Besides securing the bronze medal and finishing the tournament on a winning note, the winner of the third-place match receives $29 million in performance-based prize money, while the fourth-place finisher earns $27 million, as confirmed by The Athletic. FinishPrize Money (USD)Total Payout (Including Fees)First place$50 million~$62.5+ millionRunners-up$33 million~$45.5 millionThird place$29 million~$41.5 millionFourth place$27 million~$39.5 million That figure is part of FIFA’s record-breaking financial distribution for the expanded 48-team 2026 World Cup, which significantly increased the rewards compared to previous editions. Every participating nation also received guaranteed qualification and preparation funding before a ball was kicked, meaning the total financial package for the third-place nation is substantially higher than the performance prize alone. The 2026 World Cup has rewritten the financial record books as well as the tournament format. FIFA dramatically expanded the competition from 32 to 48 teams, increasing the number of matches, broadcasting opportunities, and commercial partnerships. As a result, FIFA’s total prize pool has reached a record level, with hundreds of millions of dollars distributed among all participating federations. Even teams eliminated in the group stage earned significantly more than nations received in several previous World Cups. FIFA President Gianni Infantino speaks about the 2026 World Cup with U.S. President Donald Trump Why the third-place match still matters Many players and coaches openly admit that the third-place playoff is emotionally difficult after missing out on the final. England manager Thomas Tuchel acknowledged the disappointment following the semifinal defeat to Argentina, while France boss Didier Deschamps has also emphasized that neither squad expected to be playing this fixture. Still, the game carries significance beyond medal placement. It affects FI
