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

I thought it was a dream. Even the squad on the French bench couldn't believe the scoreline but for now it's looking like France are getting something. It will be shameful if England will let this win elude them just because they got too relaxed.

In fact we can't believe that a team like France conceded four goals in the first half. France's defense is very weak and the midfield can't help the forwards. England, despite having a strong defense, only lost to Argentina because of their excessive defensive play.If England had performed the way they did in today's match against Argentina, then England would have qualified for the final instead of Argentina.

We are all in doubt now of what is happening in this match. The hope of several people thinking that France will win this match becomes a nightmare for all. England is doing the unthinkable and they will still score more goals in the second half of the match. What England is playing was what people excepted them to play with Argentina but the day was bad for them to excel.

Congratulations for them in the third place of the world cup.

France has scored 2 goals immediately after returning for the second half in less than 10 minutes and the score is currently at 2:4, are we going to see a 4:4 full-time result? Well what is interesting is that Kylian Mbappe has scored his 9th goal of the tournament and also made an assist that helped Bradley Barcola to score which means that if Kylian Mbappe scores another goal now he will be the most likely favourite to win the golden boot.

Tuchel needs to be sacked, this is not the England team that played the first half. What a come back from France, i was given my support to England, but after watching Tuchel not do the right substitution, i give my support to France.

4-3 in the second half, with plenty of time the match will possibly go into 4-4 and likely for France to win.

Why did England wanted to keep Thomas Tuchel till Europe? He is not a good coach, he has made couple of errors in this World Cup that some coaches did less than that and get sacked.
The players are also contributing to this match result tonight; they have been leading by four goals in the first half, now they have already conceded three goals in the second half; the French couch has made some changes that changed the game in the second half, while Tuchel couldn’t respond to their changes to balance the game, he was just waiting for magic to happen which is never happening.
If care is not taken, this game might end up in a penalty because England is under pressure.

Crazy stuff is happening currently in this match. France scored three goals in this match now in the second and now its 3-4 in the 70th minute and now anything can happen. We got the best game of the world cup in the match for third place and finally we can enjoy some really good football. I think France can turn this around if they score a goal in the next 10 mins and i think we can see extra time in this match for sure and i think Mbappe wants this badly so he can score more.

[IceLincoln]

Guys look...
What I am seeing....

Lolz 😂 Is this really the France team. First half has been over a England were absolutely amazing like they were just toying with France. Literally they just superly humiliated the team who were considering a winner before the Sapin match but now I am seeing they English buddies are just pound them so hardl.

To be honest 4 goal is bit embarrassing like 4 goal is big lead although it's only first half and even England didn't use his first choice X11 like Kane, Jude Bellingham etc are on the bench and still their second choice make them so embarrassed. Second half is sill remaining and maybe it will end up on 7,8 goal like still it's time to come more.

I thought it was a dream. Even the squad on the French bench couldn't believe the scoreline but for now it's looking like France are getting something. It will be shameful if England will let this win elude them just because they got too relaxed.

This England team is actually the worst to watch, I don’t know the French team were so lazy and open in the first half and allowed four goals even without Kane and Bellingham on the pitch. Football is a game of two halves and now France have owned the second half, England looks so open when they attack and this is very pooor from England. It’ll be a big shame if France eventually wins them. They just made Kylian Mbappe win the Golden boot reaching double figures, what a campaign he’s had.

Oho dude,, The game is unbelievable. This match is basically giving me the feeling of the final match. I don't know how much crazy field the final match will give me, but I can see this being a top notch match.

Where I thought that the France is going to be face the humiliating defeat against the England team but no they were recovering one by one after the break currently France score three goal they need one more goal to recover in this match. The good news is for the Mbappe he is now more ahead from the Lionel Messi and there is also high chance score more goal in this match from the Mbappe and I think right now it can be happened once again this legendary player on the golden boot even He didn't receive the trophy.

[Marykeller]

Football can be shocking, don't say it's all over for a team until the last whistle is blown. It will be in my widest dream that to find out that a score of 4 goals in the first half was equalize before the end of the second half.

It will be a pure disgrace and disappointing if it should be England allowed France to equalize them of their 4 goals against them before the 90 minutes of the match

[Mayor of ogba]

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

I wasn't surprised when England was leading France 2-0 in 18 minutes of their match because I have always knew France won't play at their best since it's not a final they are playing. They are still traumatize for not making it to the final, after they were seen as the favorite to win the World Cup. Football doesn't work the way you are seeing it. In football, the team France will win can turn out to beat Argentina. So England winning France 2-0 doesn't mean if France and Argentina plays against each other in this World Cup France won't win Argentina.

I guess it was to early for us to just  give up on a good team like France just because they were 4 goals down at half time,I was amazed that you’re even crowning the England team the third place winner even before the full time whistle. I hope you’re still watching and now you may probably be astonished by the score line 3-4 with 20mins left to play. the game is still open and France might pull up a comeback and snatch away the third place. But I think they are more concerned about their player winning the golden boot. Mbappe has scored two goals today to make him the top scorer for now with 10 goals, that’s two goals ahead of Messi, I don’t see Messi scoring two goals in the final so I think it’s safe to say he’s getting away with the golden boot.

[ChocolateBitcoinK]

But France is showing a very strong comeback at the moment, they have already scored 3 goals by attacking from the beginning of the second half, and they still have time, right now the score is 3-4. Looking at the current attack situation of France, it seems that they can come back now.

They performed very badly in the first half and are now showing a surprising performance in the second half, the match is going very well and exciting. Let's see if France can turn the match around, and 2 of France's 3 goals are from Kylian Mbappe.

I can't believe my eyes when the team is recovering itself, it's like a dream performance where the team's situation is at a humiliating level, then Mbappe is back to his old self, now France is getting many chances again. Where I said a little earlier that France is going to lose this match, now I don't trust my own words. Now I have to say that the result of this match can turn in any direction. In the first half of the match, England has completely taken the position. But now I see France taking the full position. They only need to score one more goal.

England is leading with one goal at the moment, and the total goals scores right now is 4:3 and the match time is far spent although with some possible extra time to be played, this is the most dangerous time of this game but if you ask I will say that England os still at upper hand of winning this match.

England is giving us a shocking performance for a team as elite as they are, it’s not by luck that they are on this level but going by the way they’re playing now.

France should have equalised or even be leading right now but today is not Michael Olise’s day at all, he has missed clear chances that he should have buried, at least he has been the king of assists on this World Cup.

Saka just scored a penalty for England completing his first hat trick at the World Cup. Maybe this will be the calm they need to control the game to the end.

[Crypto Library]

What's wrong with the Michael Olise If he had scored even twice out of the few times he has had the chance to score, France would already be leading the match.

I can see him miss even the simplest shots. And now I saw Mbappe himself take a short shot with a low effort. And at the end of the day I think the luck is going to be against the France because England got a penalty kick I think now England is on 5. Hottest shot by the Saka and he filled his hat trick on the world cup.
Harry Kane previously scored a hat-trick in 2018, and Bukayo Saka scored a hat-trick for England at this year's FIFA World Cup.

And right now at 89 minute the full match control is on the England hand and maybe the last smile will be on the England fans face.

[Nheer]

It's really a very interesting and crazy game for real, like I didn't expect France to be back into the second half with this kind of energy. We all thought that's the end for them, we thought they went from the favourites of the tournament to the biggest disgrace after they lost to Spain they are now losing shamefully to England by going 4 goals down in the first half. Surprisingly they are now looking to turn things around. It's now 3-4 with England just a goal ahead, I don't know how England let their 4 goal lead slip away that easily, now they just have to hope France doesn't add another goal.

It's a relief for England now, they just added a 5th goal and I don't think France is winning this game anymore so they'll have to settle for 4th position.

[Hyphen(-)]

And right now at 89 minute the full match control is on the England hand and maybe the last smile will be on the England fans face.

France didn’t deserve to win this match, they didn’t perform well in the first half, they were not as they used to be which I think their semifinal elimination affected them mentally because it shows in their performer because they were losing 4-0 in the first half.

England really perform badly in the beginning of the second half, they have all the advantages they needed in the game since they already have four goals, but they fumbled and mounted pressure in themselves because France wanted to comeback to the game, but unfortunately a penalty saved England from embarrassment this night.

It’s almost time, but I think it is right to congratulate England in advance because it’s almost time and despite the pressure, I don’t think this match will be extended to extra time.

[Woodie]

If this England team didn't get that penalty kick , France would have been applying  the pressure but with Mbappe on that Golden boot chase and going 2 better than Messi, I think the team has gone off for now.. but damn a 10goal thriller is a crazy scoreline..was this this tennis 🎾  or something 😳  because game was raining goals everywhere..

Well played boys ,this was entertaining to watch .

If we look at the first half of the match, then we have to say that France did not play well. But in the second half, France tried to recover very well. And that's why I think France won in the end. I would have been happy if it had gone to penalties at least.

Anyway I will say that both team did good performance in this match but if the France team did the performance they do in the second half I think they will also able to be winner in this match but unfortunately at the end of the day they lose this match. A
I thought Bellingham wouldn't be brought on in the end, but Bellingham was brought on and he proved himself to be a star player this season by scoring a late goal.

[LTU_btc]

Don't knowwhat you guys think aboutthis game, but for me it shows best that these 3rd place games isn't needed. Yeah, we saw crazy scenario with huge number of goals. But we got it just because teams don't care about it completely

[LGD2Business]

I don't think anyone expected this score. Before the game, if you'd told anyone that 10 goals would be scored in the 3rd place match, they wouldn't have believed you. They scored 10 goals in 90 minutes and missed just as many. It was an incredible match. I doubt we'll see another one like this for a long time.

England played very well in the first half but lost focus in the second. Still they didn't let France mount a comeback. If Kane had played in this match, he would've had a shot at the top scorer title. Mbappe played and took full advantage of it. Saka made a hat-trick, so at least he finished the tournament with some goals.
