Mbappé chasing record? France and England set for third-place play-off | OneFootball

The France and England national teams have announced their lineups for this Saturday’s (18) clash, which will decide third place at the World Cup.

The match takes place in Miami and marks the end of both teams’ participation in this year’s tournament.

This will also be coach Didier Deschamps’ final game in charge of the French team.

For Kylian Mbappé, the match is also important in the race for the top scorer award in this edition of the World Cup (at the moment, he is tied with Lionel Messi), as well as the all-time top scorer record in the tournament (right now, he has one goal fewer than the Argentine).

Check out the starting lineups below:
