Bukayo Saka was the standout performer, netting a hat-trick, and helping England achieve its highest World Cup finish since the championship win in 1966.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ruby-table-contents rbtoc table-fw\">\n<ul class=\"toc-content h5\">\n<li><a href=\"#player-ratings\" class=\"table-link no-link anchor-link\" data-index=\"rb-heading-index-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Player Ratings<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#match-statistics\" class=\"table-link no-link anchor-link\" data-index=\"rb-heading-index-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Match Statistics<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Three Lions made a remarkable start, taking a 4-0 lead by half-time thanks to Declan Rice, Ezri Konsa, and two goals from Saka, capitalizing on a lackluster performance from France. However, Les Bleus fought back in the second half, with Kylian Mbappe scoring twice to become the tournament&#8217;s all-time leading scorer with 22 goals, alongside a goal from Bradley Barcola.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As France threatened a remarkable comeback, Djed Spence won a pivotal penalty, which was converted by Saka to secure his hat-trick. Ousmane Dembele\u2019s goal in stoppage time briefly rekindled French hopes, but substitute Jude Bellingham sealed England&#8217;s sixth goal, marking his seventh in the tournament and confirming a historic win.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_121210\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-121210\" style=\"width: 680px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.softfootball.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/HNi7gbzWMAEgjwU.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"680\" alt=\"England are officially 2026 FIFA World Cup Bronze Final winners- Photo credit: FIFA media\" class=\"wp-image-121210\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-121210\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">England are officially 2026 FIFAWorldCup Bronze Final winners- Photo credit: FIFA media<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spain and Argentina will now meet in the World Cup 2026 final at MetLife Stadium, with the prestigious trophy and an entry into football history at stake.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"player-ratings\" class=\"rb-heading-index-0 wp-block-heading\">Player Ratings<\/h3>\n<h4 id=\"england\" class=\"rb-heading-index-1 wp-block-heading\">England<\/h4>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Player<\/th>\n<th>Rating<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Dean Henderson<\/td>\n<td>6.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Jarell Quansah<\/td>\n<td>5.8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ezri Konsa<\/td>\n<td>7.7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Marc Gu\u00e9hi<\/td>\n<td>7.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Djed Spence<\/td>\n<td>7.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Declan Rice<\/td>\n<td>8.4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bukayo Saka<\/td>\n<td><strong>9.8<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Eberechi Eze<\/td>\n<td>8.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Morgan Rogers<\/td>\n<td>7.3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Marcus Rashford<\/td>\n<td>7.9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ivan Toney<\/td>\n<td>6.7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ollie Watkins (Sub)<\/td>\n<td>6.4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Elliot Anderson (Sub)<\/td>\n<td>6.1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Jude Bellingham (Sub)<\/td>\n<td>6.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Reece James (Sub)<\/td>\n<td>6.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<h4 id=\"france\" class=\"rb-heading-index-2 wp-block-heading\">France<\/h4>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Player<\/th>\n<th>Rating<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Mike Maignan<\/td>\n<td>5.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Malo Gusto<\/td>\n<td>5.3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ibrahima Konat\u00e9<\/td>\n<td>4.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Maxence Lacroix<\/td>\n<td>6.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Theo Hern\u00e1ndez<\/td>\n<td>5.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Warren Za\u00efre-Emery<\/td>\n<td>5.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Adrien Rabiot<\/td>\n<td>5.7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Michael Olise<\/td>\n<td>8.7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rayan Cherki<\/td>\n<td>6.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>D\u00e9sir\u00e9 Dou\u00e9<\/td>\n<td>5.6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Kylian Mbapp\u00e9<\/td>\n<td>9.1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Lucas Digne (Sub)<\/td>\n<td>6.6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dayot Upamecano (Sub)<\/td>\n<td>7.1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 (Sub)<\/td>\n<td>8.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bradley Barcola (Sub)<\/td>\n<td>7.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"match-statistics\" class=\"rb-heading-index-3 wp-block-heading\">Match Statistics<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Stat<\/th>\n<th>France<\/th>\n<th>England<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Ball Possession<\/td>\n<td>46%<\/td>\n<td>54%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Attempts<\/td>\n<td>19<\/td>\n<td>19<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>On Target<\/td>\n<td>9<\/td>\n<td>11<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Corners<\/td>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Offsides<\/td>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Yellow Cards<\/td>\n<td>0<\/td>\n<td>0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Passes<\/td>\n<td>405<\/td>\n<td>467<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"wedod-2270089681\" class=\"wedod-after-content wedod-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1458300956780583\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1458300956780583\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
