World Cup ‘Bronze final’ - previously known as the third-place play-off - means a medal is on the line

The penultimate game of the 2026 World Cup sees the two losing semi-finalists face off for the bronze medal. Previously called the ‘third-place play-off’, this Miami match-up is now known as the ‘Bronze final’. Unfortunately, that will do little to comfort England or France tonight as they wrestle with coming up short once again on the grandest stage.

This will be Didier Deschamps’ final match in chage of Les Blues, after 14 years in charge, and will bow out with one World Cup win and two final appearances. The same could be true for Thomas Tuchel, who will face a stern review of the tournament from his bosses at the Football Association, despite being contract to the job until after Euro 2028.

Changes are expected from both teams, so the likes of Kobbie Mainoo or Trevoh Chalobah may get their first taste of World Cup action for the Three Lions.
