England secured third place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Saturday with a 6-4 win over France at Miami Stadium. The Three Lions took the lead in just the third minute when Désiré Doué presented the ball to Declan Rice, who accepted the gift before whipping in an excellent strike into the far corner from range. Rice was involved again as England doubled the lead in the first half with the corner that found Ezri Konsa to head in after beating Adrien Rabiot in the air.
