Adrian Sousa from Rabona TV breaks down the maddest match of the 2026 World Cup—a 6-4 third-place thriller where England took bronze and Kylian Mbappé made history. If the 2026 World Cup third-place playoff is traditionally viewed as a quiet consolation match, someone forgot to hand that script to England and France. In the highest-scoring tournament showcase since 1982, the two defeated European heavyweights went completely off the rails in Miami. Adrian Sousa from Rabona TV breaks down a 10-goal tactical rollercoaster that left fans completely breathless. Listen to the full matchday breakdown on Spotify to hear the complete post-match analysis. Thomas Tuchel’s Three Lions looked ready to run France right out of the stadium in the first 45 minutes, storming to a commanding 4-0 lead. Declan Rice opened the floodgates with a curling strike after just 134 seconds, Ezri Konsa powered home a header from a corner, and Bukayo Saka bagged a clinical first-half brace. Yet, echoing their collapse against Argentina, the English structural discipline vanished entirely after the intermission as a rampant French squad mounted a fierce second-half fightback. The comeback charge paved the way for a legendary moment of sporting history when Kylian Mbappé fired home his second goal of the evening in the 66th minute. The clinical finish marked his 22nd career World Cup goal, officially surpassing Lionel Messi to become the all-time leading scorer in World Cup history. With France suddenly pulling within a single goal and pushing inches away from an equalizer, the encounter dissolved into pure single-elimination chaos. England finally managed to stem the bleeding late when Bukayo Saka converted a high-pressure 87th-minute penalty to complete a spectacular hat-trick. Despite Ousmane Dembélé pulling another back for France in deep stoppage time, Jude Bellingham had the absolute final say by striking at the 90+8′ mark to wrap up a historic 6-4 victory. The result secures the bronze medal for England, marking their best tournament finish since 1966, while Bellingham becomes the first Englishman to score seven goals in a single World Cup. Conversely, the defensive shootout brings a historic era to a sudden close for the 2022 runners-up. The match officially marks Didier Deschamps’ final appearance on the bench, concluding a legendary 14-year tenure at the helm of national team football. The daily wrap-up tracks how the French transitional blueprint will look moving forward, alongside early tactical keys for the grand finale. You can stream the entire tactical post-mortem right now.

The final match of the 2026 World Cup for France against England does not include Ousmane Dembélé. With the dream of lifting the 2026 World Cup trophy no longer within reach, France are playing England in the third-place match, but Ousmane Dembélé is not in the starting lineup. The reason Dembélé isn’t starting against England is because Didier Deschamps has made a technical decision to put Desiré Doué and Rayan Cherki in the starting lineup. This means the ideal trio is not complete in the lineup for the first time in the competition. Leaving the Ballon d’Or winner out may be a decision to give him some rest after an exhausting season with his club. The attack Left winger was the position that has changed the most during the competition. Deschamps has rotated Doué and Barcolá depending on the opponent, which also helped keep them rested as they had to make a huge effort, with the other three attackers doing a bit less defensive work. Doué plays his eighth match (Lars Baron/Getty Images) The bench has become very important with the introduction of more substitutions, a change that has allowed the best teams to avoid exhausting their most-used players, and this has been reflected in how Deschamps has managed the position. For this match, what was a surprise for most was the inclusion of Cherki. The talented player was not a major factor for the team throughout the competition, even though he played in six matches with a total of just 85 minutes. Dembélé’s performance Dembélé’s performances went from the best to not as good as the tournament progressed. The winger had a fantastic start, scoring his first goals in a World Cup during his third appearance in the competition with five goals. His goals came against Iraq, a hat trick against Norway and one goal against Morocco.
Amid France's defeat to Spain, Ousmane Dembélé reportedly decided to criticize the way his teammates were pressing. Far from solving the problems, the Les Bleus dressing room did not receive his comments well. Despite France arriving as the clear favorite, they failed to impose their attacking brilliance against Spain. Unlike previous matches, they were overshadowed, being dominated by their opponents. Therefore, Didier Deschamps’ team were defeated 2-0, leaving them out of the title race. Seeking to solve the problems, Ousmane Dembélé reportedly tried to correct the team’s pressing, resulting in tensions inside the dressing room. According to L’Équipe, Ousmane Dembélé spoke in the France dressing room at halftime. In an attempt to turn the game around, he strongly criticized the way his teammates were pressing. He emphasized that they were uncoordinated, something that greatly annoyed his teammates. They considered the criticism unjustified, as the 29-year-old star was also having problems in that aspect. Dembélé has been one of France’s best leaders in recent years. Contributing with his collective play, he has been one of the team’s standout performers. However, he did not have his best match against Spain, failing to create space in the defense or drive the team’s collective play. As the 2025 Ballon d’Or winner, his performance was far from brilliant, causing his team to remain without a clear attacking presence. While Dembele is in the eye of the storm over his alleged criticism, his performance was not to blame for France’s defeat. Facing a team that was brilliant collectively, they were outplayed. Players such as Adrien Rabiot, Kylian Mbappé, and Lucas Digne looked clearly inferior, making mistakes and failing to be effective. Ahead of the 2026 World Cup third-place match, head coach Didier Deschamps may need to make some adjustments. Ousmane Dembele #7 of France crosses the ball against Alex Baena #15 of Spain. Ousmane Dembélé’s advice could be key for France vs. England Didier Deschamps has not achieved his objective with France at the 2026 World Cup. Although they entered the tournament as top contenders, they never managed to shine as a solid collective team. Instead, they were a group of stars who stepped up in key moments. Because of this, Dembélé’s reported advice could be the key for Les Bleus as they pursue victory against England in the third-place match. If France manage to organize their pressing after losing possession, England could be significantly limited on the counterattack. With this step, they would immediately improve their collective play. Therefore, the head coach could make some changes in midfield and even in defense. Because of this, Ousmane Dembélé has acted as a natural leader of the team, speaking truths that may be uncomfortable but necessary for the team.
In Dallas, football fans are gearing up for one of the World Cup's most keenly anticipated fixtures. The semifinal between France and Spain will see two of the tournament's best teams clash on Tuesday, with French stars such as Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé contending with a Spanish defence that has only conceded one goal all tournament. Fans of both Les Bleus and La Roja are hopeful they can just pip the other to a spot in Sunday's final. Story by Camille Corcoran.
We assess the teams who played in the last eight as the business end of the tournament approachesDidier Deschamps has seen it all before and certainly does not fear even the lowest of blocks. It is clear everyone is afraid of Les Bleus, which is understandable, and they are using it to their advantage. It is admirable how teams keep France quiet for lengthy periods but the game is too long to completely silence Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé. Against Morocco an hour of patience was required but these forwards are used to it and Mbappé produced the magic that has powered this run, following it up with an assist. In a tournament defined by individuals, France have the best of a talented bunch. Continue reading...

Mbappe’s latest achievement has created another historic chapter in his career, proving once again that he continues to rewrite the standards expected from a modern World Cup forward. Kylian Mbappe and Gerd Muller have been linked through World Cup history after the France superstar reached a milestone that places him among the greatest performers the tournament has ever seen. Mbappe’s latest achievement has created another historic chapter in his career, proving once again that he continues to rewrite the standards expected from a modern World Cup forward. The Real Madrid attacker has already built a remarkable tournament legacy, but his latest performance for France against Morocco showed why he belongs in conversations with legends from previous generations. With the biggest matches still ahead, the 27-year-old has placed himself within reach of records that have stood untouched for decades. Les Bleus continued their pursuit of another World Cup trophy after defeating Morocco 2-0 in the quarterfinals. Mbappe played a decisive role in the victory, scoring one goal and creating another as France secured a place in the semifinals for the third consecutive tournament. The forward endured a dramatic evening after missing a first-half penalty opportunity, but he quickly responded when it mattered most. Mbappe found the net after the missed spot kick before assisting Ousmane Dembele shortly afterward, completing another influential performance on the biggest stage. The result also moved him closer to Argentina captain Lionel Messi in the race for the World Cup’s all-time scoring record. Messi currently leads the historic ranking with 21 goals, while Mbappe has continued closing the gap during his third World Cup appearance.

Mbappe’s current numbers match that legendary level of influence more than five decades later. Before Muller’s achievement, France icon Just Fontaine delivered the most extraordinary scoring tournament ever recorded, scoring 13 goals at the 1958 World Cup. Fontaine’s record remains the highest single-tournament goal tally in World Cup history. Mbappe creates history with consistent World Cup excellence The French superstar’s latest milestone adds another achievement to an already impressive World Cup résumé. Mbappe has now also become the first player in World Cup history to score at least eight goals in two different tournaments. The 27-year-old scored eight goals during France’s run to the 2022 final and has matched that total during the 2026 competition.
