## Resource

It was an incredible 10-goal thriller in Miami as England secured their best ever World Cup finish on foreign soil. Jimbo, Tom Williams, Tim Spiers and Daniel Storey react to a scarcely believable 90 minutes and look ahead to the biggest game in football. Bukayo Saka scores a hat-trick as England take home the bronze medal. But does this performance only increase the anger over Thomas Tuchel’s decisions in the semi-final? And what next for France as they say au revoir to Didier Deschamps and bonjour to Zinedine Zidane? Argentina look to defend their trophy as they face European champions Spain in the final on Sunday. Where will the game be won? Will it be Lionel Messi’s last match? Martin Mazur from El Grafico has more. Plus Morgan Rogers is off to Chelsea for £117million? Hosted on Acast.
