  • I think it depends on your expectations going into the tournament. Croatia in 1998 and Turkey in 2002 were very happy to get 3rd place and the bronze medal because they exceeded their own expectations

    This is how England can play in a match that doesn't matter. If only they had pretended that the semi-final didn't matter.

  • Clearly Kane and Bellingham were holding us back!

I think this match allowed every team to leave positive, and it gave the fans an entertaining game to watch. So, in the end, it was good for everyone.

FIFA and America should thank both France and England for the entertainment.
Argentina being there would've made that match boring due to people's relieves already x

That was an entertaining game to see.

🥉 medal for England.

Yes it might not have come home but we're in an better place now compared to ten years ago.

I mean fair play to both teams for that absolute goalfest, definitely glad I watched this one now!

Second best result for England at a WC then, a lot of positives to take still despite falling short again.

Unexpectedly one of the best games of the tournament, it would have been such a worthy final. Nice consolation for England to get third place and Bellingham with that last ditch goal.

Watch tomorrow's final be a low scoring snoozer now.

Impressive win against the team that had been expected to win the tournament, and with all the chat of England never being able to beat teams ranked higher than them.

Can we have this tomorrow please? 🙏

Also now that England have won this match for all the talk of how pointless this game was you can guarantee that the historic narrative of this World Cup will be that England finished 3rd rather than just being eliminated at the semi final stage.

But this could never have been a final-worthy match, because even though it was entertaining, there were no defenses to speak of. The final definitely wouldn't have looked like this.

🥉 for England!! At least we got our first medal in 60 years.

Third place is coming home!

What a match that was. I thought that France were going to take the third place medal from us, but we held up and managed to keep it in the end.

Joint highest score in a WC march. 9 goals. Was a 6-3 before.

First England hat-trick in a WC game since Geoff Hurst in 66.

Thats a record we can get behind

Also best finish since 1966 must be some comfort

Highest scoring game in WC history is actually Austria 7-5 Switzerland in 1954.

And Kane got a hat-trick in 2018 vs Panama.

Don't know where you're getting your stats from Crazy Chris lol

10 goals were scored in this match. 6 for England, 4 for France. The most goals scored in a single World Cup match since Hungary vs. El Salvador on 20th June 1982, where 11 goals were scored overall. It’s only one of 6 World Cup matches to have 10 or more goals.
