In Miami on Saturday, two nations who had come to the 2026 World Cup seeking glory found themselves instead playing for consolation — and in doing so, produced something greater than either had planned. England defeated France 6-4 in a third-place match that rewrote the record books, with Bukayo Saka's hat trick anchoring a performance of early dominance, and Kylian Mbappe's record-breaking brilliance ensuring the contest would not be easily forgotten. It is a quiet irony of sport that the matches no one wishes to play sometimes become the ones history remembers longest.
