Mbappé pays tribute to Deschamps, Trump and Infantino noted as Spain face Argentina | OneFootball

France were beaten 6-4 by England in the third-place play-off on Saturday after a breathless contest. In New York, Spain and Argentina will contest the final on Sunday at 21:00.

Kylian Mbappé paid tribute to Didier Deschamps before his last match, saying the past 14 years are hard to sum up and that the team failed to give him a better ending. L'Equipe reports that Zinedine Zidane's contract as France head coach should begin on 1 September.

England forward Morgan Rodgers is expected to join Chelsea after the World Cup for about 137 million euros. Storms around New York have also complicated preparations for the finalists.

The third-place finish is worth 29 million euros in FIFA prize money, compared with 27 million for fourth.

Spain striker Borja Iglesias said he was far from enthusiastic about the prospect of shaking United States president Donald Trump's hand.

Neymar has already returned to training with Santos, two weeks after Brazil's last-16 defeat by Norway. Lionel Messi posted a photo draped in an Argentina flag as the holders geared up for the final.
