Saturday, July 18 recap — ten goals, a Saka hat-trick and Deschamps' farewell defeat
The third-place play-off turned into pure madness: France 4-6 England, the highest-scoring World Cup match since 1982. Trailing 0-4 at the break after a first half Didier Deschamps himself called 'disgraceful', France woke up far too late. Bukayo Saka, benched all tournament, walked away with a hat-trick. England finish 3rd, their best World Cup since 1966; Deschamps leaves his post on a loss.
