Why isn’t Jordan Pickford starting for England against France at the 2026 World Cup?
England face France in search of third place at the 2026 World Cup, where Jordan Pickford will begin the match on the bench for the first time during the tournament. England will look to win the 2026 World Cup third-place game against France at Miami Stadium, and coach Thomas Tuchel has surprisingly left Jordan Pickford out of the starting team for this crucial match. In his place, Dean Henderson is set to make his World Cup debut in goal, getting a rare opportunity after spending the entire tournament as Pickford’s understudy. As happens with Harry Kane, the decision has nothing to do with fitness or form. Pickford has been one of England‘s most reliable performers throughout the tournament, but with the match holding little competitive weight now that the final is out of reach, Tuchel has opted to give Henderson his first taste of World Cup action. Jordan Pickford’s great World Cup campaign Pickford leaves this tournament having delivered a strong campaign between the posts. Across seven appearances, he kept two clean sheets and made 12 saves, numbers that put him ahead of several of the tournament’s other elite goalkeepers. Jordan Pickford reacts during England’s game vs Norway. (Getty Images) While he conceded eight goals across the tournament, his five-save performance against Norway helped send England through to the semifinal against Argentina, where he was once again crucial, denying his opponents on several occasions. Also, following the quarterfinal match against Norway, Pickford made his 18th World Cup appearance, breaking Peter Shilton’s long-standing record as England’s most-capped player in the tournament’s history.
Lionel Messi reflects on ‘crazy’ 2007 photo with Lamine Yamal before facing him in historic 2026 World Cup final
Ahead of the tournament's biggest showdown, Messi has finally opened up about that viral photograph, sharing unexpected thoughts on one of the craziest coincidences in soccer history. Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal are about to share the pitch for the first time as Argentina meets Spain in the 2026 World Cup final. But before the opening whistle, an unbelievable story from nearly twenty years ago is absolutely blowing fans’ minds. Ahead of the tournament’s biggest showdown, Messi has finally opened up about that viral photograph, sharing unexpected thoughts on one of the craziest coincidences in soccer history. The final brings together two generations of soccer greatness. Argentina is chasing a fourth World Cup title, while Spain hopes to lift the trophy for only the second time, with Yamal aiming to become a world champion before his 20th birthday. However, back in December 2007, Messi was still establishing himself as one of Barcelona’s brightest young players when he participated in a charity calendar organized by the club’s foundation alongside UNICEF and Spanish newspaper Diario Sport. During the session, he was paired with a five-month-old baby for a series of photographs. That baby turned out to be Lamine Yamal, who would eventually emerge as Barcelona’s newest superstar and Spain’s leading attacking force. At the time, nobody involved in the event could have imagined that the two would one day meet on soccer’s biggest stage. Photographer Joan Monfort, who captured the famous images, later admitted that even he struggles to comprehend the coincidence. “It is better than any film script,” he told The Associated Press, while also describing the entire sequence of events as something beyond ordinary soccer history. Yes, those photos you’ve seen are real.More than 18 years ago, a baby named Lamine Yamal and his mom Sheila met Lionel Messi at a UNICEF fundraising photoshoot.Today, their achievements on the pitch inspire millions. Off the pitch, both Messi and Lamine Yamal use their voices… pic.twitter.com/TSoUPDxia2— UNICEF (@UNICEF) July 16, 2026 Monfort previously explained that Messi was initially shy during the session because he had never handled a baby in such circumstances. Yamal’s mother, Sheila Ebana, helped ease the atmosphere, resulting in the now-iconic images of Messi bathing and later holding the future Spain star. Messi finally reacts to the famous photograph Speaking during Fanatics Fest in New York ahead of Sunday’s final, Messi admitted the story still amazes him. The Argentine legend acknowledged that the images have taken on an entirely different meaning now that both players are preparing to compete for soccer’s greatest prize. “Honestly, that photo of us is crazy. I took a photo with him as a baby, and here we both are, facing each other in a World Cup.” Messi also praised the teenager’s remarkable rise over the past few years. “Lamine is a huge player… he’s one of the world’s benchmark players at 19 years old, and he has his whole career ahead of him.” While expressing admiration for Yamal, Messi made it clear that friendship and nostalgia will be put aside once the match begins. “He has a great opportunity to achieve something historic, which we’ll try our hardest to make sure doesn’t happen this time.” LIONEL MESSI ENCOUVRE LAMINE YAMAL : « C’EST L’UN DES MEILLEURS JOUEURS DU MONDE » 🥹🎤 Journaliste : Une photo devenue iconique a été prise lorsque Lamine n’était encore qu’un bébé. Aujourd’hui, vous allez vous affronter ce dimanche lors de sa première Coupe du monde des… pic.twitter.com/glNsHcbhO6— Mercato Blaugrana (@MercatoBlaugra) July 17, 2026 The Argentine captain also emphasized his affection for Barcelona, where both players built their soccer identities. “What is good for him will also be good for Barcelona.” Meeting delayed until the biggest stage Soccer nearly brought the pair together months earlier when Argentina and Spain were scheduled to contest the Finalissima in 2026.

Spain’s updated FIFA ranking before 2026 World Cup semifinal with France
Set to face France in the 2026 World Cup semifinals, Spain has recently suffered a drop in the FIFA Rankings. Spain has reestablished itself as one of the clear favorites at the 2026 World Cup, now standing two wins away from a second world title following the 2010 triumph in South Africa. With France standing between them and a place in the final, a victory would also send La Roja to the top of the FIFA Rankings. In the most recent official update, Spain sits third with 1,934.79 points. They entered the tournament in second with 1,874.71 points, meaning that despite accumulating more points during the competition, France’s stronger results pushed La Roja down one spot in the standings. With France currently occupying first place, a win over Les Bleus in the semifinal would give Spain a significant rankings boost and reclaim the top spot in world soccer. It would not be the first time they have sat there. Fueled by back-to-back European Championship titles in 2008 and 2012 and the 2010 World Cup triumph, Spain dominated the number one position in the FIFA Rankings for much of the period between 2008 and 2014, before a group-stage exit in Brazil brought that era to an end. They returned to the summit most recently between September 2025 and January 2026, and are now within reach of doing so again. Lamine Yamal of Spain celebrates after scoring his first World Cup goal. Spain have not been outside the FIFA top 10 since September 2017, when they slipped to 11th. Their all-time low sits at 25th, but that feels like a distant memory for a program that has been one of the sport’s most consistently dominant forces in recent years, with Lamine Yamal now ensuring the next generation of Spanish soccer looks just as bright. Spain’s recent dominance over France a positive omen Despite France holding the higher ranking, it is Spain who have had the upper hand in the most important recent meetings between the two nations. Back-to-back victories in the Euro 2024 semifinal and the 2025 UEFA Nations League semifinal have given Yamal’s side significant momentum heading into yet another knockout stage collision, this time on the biggest stage of all.
