France takes on England in World Cup third-place game with Mbappe chasing Golden Boot

For Americans, the World Cup has a lot of weird stuff. We aren’t used to games ending in ties. We don’t really recognize the beauty of teams passing the ball back and forth, trying to see where it makes sense to attack the defense. Most of all, though, we are not used to major tournaments having a third-place game, but we get that here as France takes on England.

France disappointed me for a variety of reasons. Even if I didn’t have a ticket on them to win the World Cup, I would’ve probably been disappointed as they played Spain.
