## Resource

France and England, both heartbroken after brutal semi-final exits, face off in a third-place match nobody wants to play — but it’s packed with drama. For Didier Deschamps, it’s his final game as coach, a chance to go out on a high note after 12 years leading France to glory. Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappe, already on track for the Golden Boot with eight goals, eyes a historic personal milestone. With both squads likely to rotate starters and give fringe players their moment, it’s more like a farewell tour than a final. Tuchel admits his players, like the French, would rather be chasing the trophy — but Sunday’s match could still deliver unforgettable moments.
