## Resource

England and France clash in a bitter third-place World Cup showdown, neither team wanting to play but both forced to by pride and legacy. With Kylian Mbappé chasing the Golden Boot against Lionel Messi, and Didier Deschamps preparing to retire, the stakes are higher than they appear. For England, it’s a chance to prove they’re closing the gap on football’s elite — and end their tournament on a high note, even if it’s not the final they dreamed of.
