Goal, frivolity, history: Miami has seen it all - England celebrates its greatest success at the World Cup, Mbappe numbers 10 and 22

Spectacular, yet frivolous for this level of football - such was the match played by the French and English in the battle for third place at the World Cup.

The "match that no one plays" turned into a showdown in which practically every attack was a chance to score - with Albion dominating in the first half, and then a fierce reaction from the opponent in the second half.

In the end - 6:4 for the "Three Lions" who celebrate their first ever bronze medal at the World Cup. That's why coach Thomas Tuchel can say that he has made a breakthrough with the national team, although the public will have a hard time forgiving him for his "anti-football" behavior in the half-hour semi-final with Argentina.

It sounds unreal, but England led 4-0 in the first 45 minutes.

Declan Rice in 3, then Ezri Konsa and twice Bukayo Saka used what the uninterested "tricolors" offered, and then, I guess, Didier Deschamps - the outgoing coach - shouted at the break, not wanting to experience the embarrassment of farewell.

The rest of the game offered a score, with six more goals and at least a dozen chances on both sides.

France dominated, reducing the score to 4:3 by the 66th minute as Deschamps made four changes.

Kylian Mbappe, Bradley Barkola and then Mbappe again made France believe in an epic comeback. And they came close indeed as three unreal chances were missed by Michael Oliseh, a double assist, before Saka completed a hat-trick from a penalty forced by Jed Spence.

It was 5:3, a winner was in sight, but even then it wasn't over.

Ousmane Dembele brought down the deficit again deep into stoppage time, and England's victory was sealed by Jude Bellingham (who came on in the 79th minute, Harry Kane did not even enter) after a solo breakthrough.

As of tonight, Mbappe is the top scorer in the tournament with 10 goals, two more than Lionel Messi, and also leads the all-time list.

With 22 goals, he became the best ever, the famous Argentine has one less and on Sunday at 21 pm he has a chance to return to the throne...
