The FIFA World Cup 2026, after months of intense battle, has narrowed down to its final fixtures, featuring incredible nations who have all displayed immense resilience and quality throughout the tournament. In a historic third-place play-off clash, the France national football team will face England at the Miami Stadium in Florida, USA.
France entered the competition with massive expectations to secure the nation’s third World Cup title, having last won in 2018. France had an excellent start under captain Kylian Mbappé’s guidance, finishing as group leaders with a perfect record.
They displayed their vast experience in the Round of 32, securing a comfortable 3-0 victory over Sweden. They then faced Paraguay in the Round of 16, securing a hard-fought 1-0 win. France then played Morocco in the quarter-finals, managing a 2-0 win to confirm their spot in the final four, before Spain halted their title hopes in a narrow 2-0 semi-final defeat.
England, led by manager Thomas Tuchel, will target a strong finish to their campaign. They had a brilliant start to the tournament, topping their group undefeated. They were massively tested in the knockout rounds, defeating DR Congo 2-1 after being 1-0 down in the Round of 32.
England then secured a dramatic 3-2 victory against co-hosts Mexico despite being restricted to 10 men, before managing a 2-1 win against Norway in the quarter-finals, guided by Jude Bellingham’s brace. They then suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat to Argentina in the semi-finals, despite holding a 1-0 lead for the majority of the game.
France and England share a fierce and highly competitive history at the World Cup, with this marking their fourth meeting in the tournament. Their most iconic recent encounter came during the 2022 World Cup quarter-finals in Qatar, with France securing a dramatic 2-1 victory.
