FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread

[RockBell]

Even if the England B team plays against France, they won't concede 5-6 goals in 90 minutes. These are unreal things we can talk about at this moment, while the match is going to start in three hours. I will post again in a few hours.

England is certainly not a weak team to start with and the bronze place game tonight might be a bit interesting to watch though. I’m rooting for France to win tonight’s match but we’d wait and see how it goes at the end, I don’t expect England to relent either, so the match might be pretty intense..

That’s the truth about England their not a weak team even that their last match against Argentina the all faults is from coach, since already they where leading the Argentina by 1 goal and they where are made it to secure the goal over 70 minutes their coach not supposed bring in the defense into that game. Because he thought that’s what can help him to win the match against Argentina, after knows that Argentina are very dangerous team, you can not defense a team that have good players in front, definitely they will be much pressure on defense.

The issue of England and when they played against Argentina they made a very huge mistake and when Argentina scored and still added another goal I was irritated because how difficult is it that they could not beat Argentina and see what England is doing to france and they could not do to Argentina and even France are been beaten 2:0 and the whole thing is just very annoying and as it may be now I don't think that France will be able to equalize again there is nothing they can do the winner is something we already know and they are not other than England and am still pained that they allowed Argentina to get away to the finals because it was not what I was expecting will happen.

Today France are to face England In the 2026 FIFA world cup tournament, to fight for the third place, my hope are for England to win the match.

Even though France have one of the best attacking trio in the football world right now, they will find it difficult to win against England. I also think that England will give France a tough time in wining that is, of they win.

We shall see what the outcome will be by the end of the match.

England is now leading 2-0 and it's funny because this is the France every one against Argentina was hoping on to eliminate Argentina,
And now England that was eliminated by Argentina is now having a 2-0 lead again France,  it's a good reminder that this is a game and running into conclusion is never the best approach in prediction

France didn't look this helpless in the Spain match. Right now, they can't do anything against England. Mbappé is trying to do something individually, but even he can't achieve anything. England has the upper hand with their reserve players. Kane is absent, Pickford is absent, Bellingham is absent, and even in this situation, they are having a very easy match against France. I couldn't understand how England gave away the match against Argentina.

[StarenseN]

Yeah, France definitely looks like the better team no doubt about that. I think France will get this one, it is even a shock that France is not at the finals, could have been a great revenge game if they were, but it did not happen because Spain is unbelievable these years, a 36 game unbeaten record is unheard of in world of football for a national team, considering they do not play that often, this means they haven't lost in YEARS. In fact the last game Spanish national team lost was in finals against Portugal all the way last year, we are talking about a team that is doing VERY well without a doubt.

[Btcdeybodi]

England started the match brilliantly and were 2-0 up against France after 20 minutes. A goal was also disallowed for offside. Currently, France is showing no presence whatsoever. England are leading the match. France needs to get back into the game. If they continue like this, England could inflict a historic defeat on France.

France is not showing any energy in this match while England is displaying what they should have done against Argentina when they were 1 goal up, this is to show that England was just afraid of Argentina because if they had scored 2 goals ahead as they scored against France now, Argentina would have been weakened and would have probably not get an equaliser. All this beautiful football that England is playing today do not make sense anymore because they didn't apply it where necessary. I just hope that England will not feel that they've already won this match and begin to relax because if they play with such mentality, France can equalise and the match moves to extra time.

France 0 Vs England 2
Less than 20 minutes and France are 2 - 0 down against the 3 lions, when the lineups came out, I was like, this is expected though, both teams from there lineups didn't take this match seriously and I can understand why, third place is not what they had imagined, but the truth is, teams have to play in it. They didn't put up a better performance in the semi final and that's why both of them are playing today. England looks more serious than France in this match and with the way this is going, they would probably win and get the bronze medal.

I'm not even too sure about the composition that Tuchel did at the beginning before kick off but after they played this made a new thought about the French team, whether they are indeed that bad when their mental problems because honestly in the last 2 games against Spain and now England they seem to lose the aura of a big team in themselves.

Seakrang they are 2 goals behind and although ranked 3rd doesn't really prove anything but at least they have to give their best in the last game for their own country but Rice's quick goal and more pressure from Konsa made France lose their way.

If their performance like this is not impossible that France will again concede goals and make their mental increasingly down in the second half later.

I even just finished typing the third goal for England happened now it's a bad end for a big team with a strong probability of being champions.

[Mustang Shelby]

Gentlemen, what's going on? England is dominating France, and the French players aren't even bothering to defend. Right now, France is playing as if they've already received two red cards. It's never been this easy for England. It's as if they're facing an ordinary team, not the finalists of the last World Cup. France will face a lot of criticism after this match. I hope the final is just as enjoyable after this game.

England did not play like this against Argentina. With their main players rested, England has completely surprised me, as they have already scored another goal and are now leading by three goals. It is highly likely that France will score three goals and win the match from this situation, especially since England is playing like a completely different team altogether.
Damn, another goal for England! It's now England 4, France 0. I absolutely did not expect a blowout like this within the first half.

This is a big embarrassment to France. Four goals conceded in 45 minutes what a mess. Honestly, this is the best performance from England in this world cup so far, and the worse from France. Saka double his goal to make the scoreline 0-4. France isn't taking the game seriously anymore. What a big surprise.

England 4 goals... what a mad match. I haven’t seen anything like this at any World Cup in recent years. I’m really curious to see whether it’ll end up 7–0 or 6–7...... we’ve still got 45 minutes of fun ahead of us.... a brilliant evening’s telly... keep it up

[Xyloo]

I think France will suffer the heaviest defeat in its history if things continue like this. There have already been 4 goals in the first half, which I believe is unprecedented in third-place matches. French fans are very upset, and England are still pushing for more goals. If they score a few more in the second half, this will be remembered as an unforgettable humiliation for France.

[adultcrypto]

What a big disgrace to France tonight! Just first half they are losing by four goals to nothing. Apart from the goals, England have completely overshadowed them in the game. This is not looking nice for France given the expectations people had on them. They are playing tonight game like people suffering absence mindedness. England are those that need the bronze desperately because its been long the team celebrated anything serious in football. So it is good they are the team winning.

[Stavri]

Spain, scoring little and conceding little. Argentina, scoring a lot and conceding a lot 
Spain, passing calmly and patiently. Argentina, pressing with passion and biting at the heels.

Normally, the team that concedes fewer goals has the upper advantage in these types of tournaments but then again, they are facing Messi.

I'm expecting Spain to have more ball possession in the final match. Argentina would look for fast counter-attack opportunities. As long as Spain don't leave the ball to their opponent I don't think the opposite will happen.

Spain have better players who can defend Messi. I don't expect him to play as free as he did against England. I'm not sure how this match would end - regular time / penalties - but I'm favouring and betting on Spain for this one.  

Spain is incredibly resilient and plays a highly clinical game. They completely outclassed France with a clear cut scoreline well before the final whistle, locking them down perfectly in defense. they are truly a remarkably systematic and disciplined side...

[Iroh]

Who would have thought France would be going through this shit storm they're currently battling. The first half of the game just ended and France is struggling hard to find their footing. England is dominating the game so far and with 4 goals on their side, it's clear who has been playing better football so far.
Perhaps France may score a goal in the second half and I think they just might but England seems determined to take home the 3rd place. An entertaining game so far and a good game for England.

It already 45 minutes into the game and I noticed that extra 4minutes have just been added, while England now leads with 4 goals to nil, which is actually far beyond what we least expected. However, judging by the statement you just made, I strongly disagree that France didn't come up with a better performance for this third place game, because for the fact that they weren't able to make it up to the final ie a more reason why they ought to have played their best in this game, and unfortunately England have been able to score 4 goals, while still also dominating the ball possessions and shots on target, and yet France have not been able to score a single goal, which is very shameful, considering the fact they were everybody's favorite to win this world cup, but unfortunately, they are still finding it difficult to secure the third place.

France is playing the worst 3rd place match in the history of this World Cup. England is scoring goals easily. France is leaving the entire field empty. What kind of game is this? France doesn't seem to have any energy, it seems like they are playing against their will. The way Mbappe is playing is also unacceptable.

England scored 4 goals in the first half, France 0. The way France is playing, they conceded 4 more goals in the second half and are proud of their record of 7-0/8-0 goals. I'm not enjoying this match, I feel like I'm watching children playing in a village field LoL.

It’s that huge mistake that their coach made is the one that lead them to lose against Argentina if not that match is the game that they could’ve win, let look at their today match against France, their performances was very impressive in the first half. Imagine that England who lose against Argentina where the one leading leading France with a great goals, the first half ended 0-4 and we never know yet goals their going to add in the second half, I’m very excited to see how the first half goes with wonderful goals.

[kizilhare]

Based on what I saw in the first half, I can say that the French players aren't taking their opponents very seriously. Mbappé, in particular, is attempting rather nonchalant dribbles in attack. Some players are drifting around the pitch like ghosts; if they continue like this, the English could secure a historic margin of victory and finish the World Cup in third place.
France needs to make at least two or three substitutions for the second half.
The fourth goal arrived before the first half even ended. Unless England eases off, France could be facing a historic defeat.

[ChocolateBitcoinK]

England is attacking much more powerfully than France in the match, I expected France to be stronger in attack than England, but despite France having such a strong forward, their match performance is very disappointing, I never expected such a bad attack performance from them. The first half ended with a huge 4-0 goal difference, England is performing what I originally expected from France, I don't understand what happened to France's attack, they lost the match to Spain because of such a bad performance and were eliminated from the semi-finals. I don't understand whether France's performance is very disappointing, or they are deliberately playing the match without importance. But whatever it is, I never expected France to lose so badly,although only the first half is over, I don't think France can do anything surprising in the second half, where England has already scored 4 goals.
