England vs. France: A Thrilling Bronze Match - International Reactions
Didier Deschamps bids farewell after 14 years as France's national coach with a spectacular match. Thomas Tuchel secures bronze with England's 6-4 victory.
Here's a look at the international press's reactions to the World Cup third-place playoff match:
Press Reactions to the Third-Place Playoff: England
The Sun: "Sak-re Bleu. The Three Lions win the craziest World Cup game ever in a ten-goal thriller, securing their best performance since 1966."
The Guardian: "Saka hat-trick seals England's 6-4 victory over France in an epic World Cup third-place playoff."
Daily Mail: "England takes Bronze. The Three Lions win a ten-goal spectacle in Miami, with Jude Bellingham scoring the winning goal in the dying seconds of a crazy game."
The Mirror: "England sweeps France aside in the World Cup match nobody wanted to play."
The Telegraph: "It was the perfect opportunity to see if Tuchel had learned from the defeat in Atlanta. This time, England finished the match with as many attackers as defenders on the field. They barely managed to secure third place. A small step forward."
Press Reactions to the Third-Place Playoff: France
L'Equipe: "A firework display to conclude. What was intended as a tribute to Didier Deschamps after 14 years turned into one of the craziest games of his tenure. In his 185th and final match as national coach, he experienced by far the worst first half of his career. Although his team mounted a comeback, they could not avert the precarious situation."
Le Figaro: "Shame first, then revolt… but Les Bleus lose Deschamps' last game. Ten goals, a spectacular game, a completely crazy scenario, broken records, and two teams locked in a fierce battle."
Le Parisien: "After a final breathtaking match, Les Bleus pack their bags filled with regret. This Saturday evening in Florida, the French team did not survive an apocalyptic first half. However, their second act, which will be remembered, is much more worthy of Didier Deschamps' final game."
