Mbappe vs Kane in the Bronze Final
Both of these teams came within a match of the final. France were shut out 2-0 by Spain, and England were caught by an Argentina comeback, losing 2-1 after leading late. Now they meet in a rematch of their 2022 quarterfinal, which France won 2-1. There is real intrigue beyond pride, too: Kylian Mbappe sits joint-top of the Golden Boot race, so France’s captain has a chance to pull clear of the field on Saturday before Lionel Messi answers in Sunday’s final. Harry Kane and England will have their own say. For a game that is often dismissed as a consolation, there is plenty worth watching. Bring your crew and settle in.
