England and France gave everything in the World Cup third place play-off

England and France gave everything in the World Cup third place play-off, but after the final whistle, players from both teams came together in prayer.

The players praying together were: Dayot Upamecano, Bukayo Saka, Maxence Lacroix, Eberechi Eze, Marc Guéhi, Jean-Philippe Mateta, and Trevoh Chalpobah. 

England outlasted France in the highest-scoring third-place match in FIFA World Cup history, capping a wild showdown that rewrote the record books.

Despite the loss, Kylian Mbappé scored twice to become the FIFA World Cup's all-time leading scorer, passing Lionel Messi, and now leads the Golden Boot race.

Now only one match remains. Spain and defending champion Argentina meet tomorrow with the 2026 FIFA World Cup trophy on the line
