00:00And it continues today here in Miami.
00:03So seven changes made by Didier Deschamps for France,
00:06but it's a quite familiar-looking team selected by their coach.
00:09Out goes Saliba, who's injured, Dean, Barclay, Dembele, Chouamaini and Koundé.
00:15The new-look defence is Gusteau on the right,
00:17Canate and Lacroix in the centre, and Teo Hernandez on the left.
00:21PSG teenager Warren Zaire Emery starts in midfield,
00:24while Ryan Chirky and Desiree Due join up with Mbappe
00:28and Elyse in a strong front four.
00:32Seven changes for England as well.
00:34Dean Henderson replaces Jordan Pickford in goal.
00:36Esri Kwanza and Jarrell Kwanza, which is quite the tongue-twister,
00:41they're back in defence.
00:42Emery Chiesa starts in midfield.
00:45Recalls two for Bakayo Saka, Marcus Rashford and Ivan Toney.
00:49Out go Pickford, Stones, Anderson, Gordon, Bellingham, James
00:54and the captain, Harry Kane.
00:57Lise and Eberetti Eze are both former Crystal Palace players as well.
01:03Here's Declan Rice to step in and win it back for England,
01:05they've hit the shot, score a great goal.
01:07England captain delivers after two minutes in Miami.
01:32It's Declan Rice, cold as ice, England lead 1-0.
01:36Oh, it's just a poor ball from Dewey.
01:39Declan Rice says brilliant, picks it off.
01:41And Declan Rice turns into Harry Kane, captain.
01:45What a finish.
01:46Absolutely no chance from Mbappe.
01:49Mbappe in goal, but what a strike from Declan Rice, playing a little bit deeper.
01:55What a goal, what a start to this game.
01:58Absolutely unstoppable from Arsenal's Declan Rice.
02:02All Maniac can do is watch the ball go past him.
02:05It's the eighth time he's scored in an England shirt,
02:08the first time he's scored in this World Cup.
02:10And there's the celebration from the head coach, Thomas Tuchel.
02:13Can we call that celebration?
02:14I don't even think Declan celebrated.
02:16It was like half a one, should I, should I not.
02:18Obviously, they feel like they've let everybody down.
02:21Mbappe stepping in to regain the possession of Esri Conce.
02:25Now Bukayo Saka on the move for England.
02:29Eze is going to break here for Rashford.
02:33And that's reflected behind for the corner.
02:36And I must say, they look vulnerable defensively at the moment, France.
02:39But you know why?
02:39They look vulnerable in possession.
02:41You know, that first goal came from another poor pass.
02:44Ingen counter-attack.
02:45Great little first touch from Rashford.
02:47Gusteau gets his body in front, but they're not concentrating France to start.
02:51And England look hungry.
02:54The mat having lost the semi-final.
02:57That's good from Mbappe.
02:59France on the move.
03:01It's into Desiree Douai.
03:03It's Cherki!
03:04And it's saved by Henderson.
03:07First job for the England goalkeeper.
03:09And then the shot that came in from Zahir Emery
03:12is a lot more straightforward for Henderson.
03:14Well done, Dean Henderson.
03:16Good strike from Cherki.
03:18He takes it on his right, hits it with his left.
03:20It's had a good height.
03:21Pickford's been amazing for England.
03:24Best played through by Rodgers.
03:25Saka's in for England.
03:26They want another one.
03:27They started brilliantly.
03:28And they're 2-0 off.
03:30And the offside flag goes up against Bukayo Saka.
03:34But they are slicing through this France defence.
03:37Yeah.
03:38I mean, they're all over the place, France, defensively.
03:40That's been England's best player.
03:41And then Harry Kane.
03:42Sees Saka just offside there.
03:44Look at Jed Spence in the last game.
03:45It was terrific, even defensively and offensively.
03:50Go here with the challenge.
03:52Here's Tony.
03:53On by Rodgers.
03:54Spaced out for Eza.
03:55A lovely pass through to Saka.
03:57LeCroix with Brown to make up.
03:59Saka in for England.
04:01And deflected over the bar for the corner.
04:04I'll tell you what, it's quite astonishing, really.
04:06All England's chances have come in front of any.
04:10They keep turning the ball over.
04:12And there's big spaces.
04:14You know Saka wants to walk back onto his left foot.
04:17Corrado as well.
04:19But they look sloppy in possession, France.
04:25The one thing that Bukayo Saka isn't blessed with.
04:28He's gone forward as well.
04:29Keep an eye on Tony in a situation like this.
04:31That's a better England corner.
04:33And it's flicked in and it's 2-0.
04:36And it's Esri Kosa.
04:39And it's Esri Kosa.
04:50And it's Esri Kosa.
05:06A rye smile on the face of Schott with a face like thunder.
05:10That's the first ever World Cup goal for Esri Kosa.
05:12Yeah, and it's a great ball in from Declan Rice.
05:16Kosa against Rabiot.
05:18Just beats him to it.
05:21Too big, too strong.
05:22What a header.
05:23Great skill just to guide that into the back post.
05:26Nobody there.
05:28I mean, France's defence have been all over the place.
05:30But it's interesting to see Drew Billingham and Harry Kane step up.
05:33Give the boys a round of applause.
05:35Smiles on the faces.
05:38I think they're already looking forward, Owen.
05:40They're thinking this is the start of the push to win the...
05:45Now Mbappe.
05:47That's what hit one, you know, Mbappe, which he does!
05:50Henderson was staring at that and hoping it didn't continue to bend.
05:55I think we saw what happened.
05:58When you give players space in time.
06:00King Mbappe, because he didn't get pressured.
06:04He takes the shot on.
06:05Dean Henderson had a cover.
06:09Cover the veteran midfielder for France.
06:12Zaire Emery to Douay.
06:14Mbappe makes the run.
06:15And Mbappe gives to the ball.
06:17Henderson made the save.
06:18Gahey made the block.
06:21Well, that's Crystal Palace present and Crystal Palace future
06:24stuffing out the French.
06:25The offside flag was up, but England didn't know about that.
06:31I think the linesman's flag was up, but watch how quickly France speed this up.
06:38It's definitely not offside, Kylian Mbappe.
06:42Dean Henderson does brilliant.
06:44Comes out, makes it difficult for Kylian Mbappe.
06:46I think it might have gone in, actually.
06:48But Gahey runs back to his goal.
06:50You see, that's one of those.
06:51Here's Rodgers.
06:52A Chelsea player next season.
06:55Rashford.
06:58Saka wanted the ball played early.
06:59Had Rashford done it, although he's just skinned him.
07:02Hit the shot.
07:03Tipped away by Mania.
07:05Warren Zaire Emery didn't know where on earth Marcus Rashford had disappeared to.
07:09Best nutmeg of the World Cup.
07:12Reverse little track.
07:13What's this?
07:14Naughty.
07:15Oh, my word.
07:16That's beautiful.
07:18Sets him.
07:18Knew he was coming as well.
07:19It's never nice when you get undressed in public in front of all these people,
07:22but it's just happened to Warren Zaire Emery.
07:24By the way, that shouldn't excuse Rashford for not playing Saka in earlier,
07:27because he was clean through.
07:29No, I'm shooting that as well.
07:30Got on top corner as well, fourth official.
07:32It's not like he can do anything.
07:33Here's Mbappe.
07:35He can certainly do something.
07:36Constance got to defend.
07:38Mbappe for France.
07:39Good save, Henderson.
07:41He's winning that battle so far.
07:45He's got all the skills as well.
07:46The French number 24 from Manchester City.
07:52Elisa.
07:53Little touch from Douay.
07:54Jerk is crossed.
07:55Henderson there again.
07:56He's having some game, the England goalkeeper.
08:00Now it's played on for Rashford.
08:02He's clean through.
08:03Saka played him through.
08:04Rashford on the run.
08:06Coming back.
08:07And then there's Mbappe, the goalkeeper.
08:09Saka on the follow-up.
08:10The ball's spinning.
08:10Shooting.
08:11Defender by Lacroix.
08:13Rashford.
08:15Still Rashford.
08:16Saka!
08:173-0.
08:18Eventually from England.
08:20And they're running riot in Miami.
08:52Deschamps feels like he's in a Miami vice.
08:56England have got the 300th goal of World Cup 2026.
09:01And there are smiles all round for the team in the white shirt.
09:04I mean, the floodgates are open.
09:07I mean, the amount of space England have.
09:09And they've been clinical.
09:12Good patience from Marcus Rashford.
09:14Great little cutback.
09:16And he just passes it into the goal.
09:18Bukayo Saka.
09:19What a mess France are defensively.
09:22It all started from a save from Dean Henderson.
09:25All the bench got up.
09:26Fletcher were applauding the save.
09:29I don't think I've seen France defend and track back at all.
09:32The attacking players are just staying up.
09:34Oh, and France have been an absolute shambles for 37 and a half minutes here in Miami.
09:40An absolute shambles.
09:41They're lucky it's only three.
09:43Mbappe can see Messi disappearing over there.
09:46Stats can lie.
09:48But they didn't there, did they?
09:49Pitchers don't lie.
09:50Stats can also prove a point.
09:52Yeah.
09:52That's a lovely little turn on Pastelmeza.
09:54It's Bukayo Saka.
09:56It's 4-0.
09:58It's an absolute rout in Miami.
10:01England are taking France to the cleaners.
10:12England are taking France to the cleaners.
10:15England are taking France to the cleaners.
10:18England are taking France to the cleaners.
10:29Owen Hargreaves, do you know the last time that France trailed by four goals in a World Cup match?
10:351958.
10:38It's going to be more.
10:39I mean, they've been second best in every phase.
10:42Brilliant England to punish them.
10:44What a finish from Saka.
10:46The turn from Eze was brilliant.
10:49They're making it look so easy.
10:51England.
10:52This is what happens when you play football without intensity.
10:55France are getting punished, and rightly so.
10:57England went through the same experience in the semifinal, but they've come to play.
11:02Big changes.
11:03Tomasuko went for an attacking team.
11:06And he's getting rewarded.
11:07What a performance in that first half.
11:09I just wonder who Deschamps is going to take off at halftime.
11:13Well, theoretically, he could take off 10 of the 11, couldn't he?
11:16I mean, you'd leave Mbappe on, but I mean, anybody else could go.
11:19No, Mbappe won't.
11:19But I'd say the midfield balance is...
11:21And now he'll say, oh, we're awesome.
11:23This is great.
11:24This is history and everything like this.
11:25So, it's great.
11:27I think it's great.
11:27It's fun to watch.
11:28We'll see if France responds at all.
11:30Because they got their you-know-what kicks.
11:32Oh, my God.
11:33He is making...
11:34He is making...
11:35And I can get...
11:36I mean, again, Jericho's come on.
11:38He's not done anything.
11:39You know, Thierry Hernandez on one of the...
11:42I mean, the focus and concentration is not.
11:44But look at those names.
11:46Digne, Opel, Meccano, Dembele, and Bakwala.
11:48That is a big statement to England, not so much to England, but to the rest of the team.
11:55He's had to react.
11:56I mean, it's not worthy of the tenure that he's had.
11:59They've had to do something about it.
12:01And it'll be really interesting now to see how these former world champions, they react.
12:05After 14 years as manager of the French national team, he has just 45 minutes left.
12:10Didier Deschamps, let's see what he can do with that.
12:12They're losing by four goals to nil.
12:14Back to Darren Fletcher and Owen Hargreaves.
12:17Thank you, Rebecca.
12:19Changes aplenty here from both managers.
12:22The significant ones are from Didier Deschamps, but he tries to get more from his team.
12:29Marcus Rashford's gone off ring, but only Watkins has just gone off.
12:31Intercepted from an England standpoint from Rice.
12:42Watkins losing out.
12:46That's played in towards Kylian Mbappé, who takes the lead in the race for the Golden Boot.
12:52And goes level with Lionel Messi for the most goals ever in the World Cup.
13:18What a big goal that is for Kylian Mbappé.
13:20And that's what happens when you tackle.
13:23Winner tackle that leads to the situation.
13:25At least they were the perfect ball for Mbappé.
13:30Look at that finish, first time, passes it.
13:32Past Dean Enderton, who's had a brilliant game so far.
13:35Chip at the end.
13:36It would have consigned Maradona's goal in the Azteca at 86 to history.
13:41Bradley Barcoller's in for France.
13:43Is this the moment for him?
13:45It's 4-2.
13:46France are back in it.
13:49And Bradley Barcoller off the bench to score.
14:00Goal for France!
14:08The French are fighting in Miami.
14:11England on the ropes at the start of the second half.
14:14Yeah, in the same spaces that England exploited, France are doing the exact same.
14:19Great finish from Barcoller, that near post.
14:23But big spaces in behind.
14:24Forward passing, forward running.
14:27England not getting the same pressure.
14:29And France have been clinical.
14:32This game is not over.
14:33What a crazy, crazy, crazy game in Miami.
14:38Look at Didier Deschamps now.
14:40That's a different picture.
14:42Declan Rice can't believe it.
14:45And there's Kylian Mbappe.
14:48Dembele, if he's onside, he's in.
14:50Ousmane Dembele running through.
14:52Dembele on the left foot, saved by Henderson.
14:55And the flag did stay down.
14:57Elysée!
14:58And Declan Rice got enough of it.
14:59Now the offside flag's gone up.
15:02Honestly, it's like a mirror image of the first half.
15:06The England defender, look at the space.
15:09I think he gets himself almost back onside.
15:11It's just his left foot, isn't it?
15:12It's just his left foot.
15:14What a save from Dean Henderson as near post.
15:21This is why we love this magnificent game so much.
15:25Isn't it?
15:26It does have an all-star game for you though, doesn't it?
15:28Oh, it's great.
15:28NBA all-star game.
15:29You can call it what you like.
15:30I'm just going to call it magnificent.
15:34Jordan Ball.
15:40So Declan Rice with the corner.
15:42Ivan Toni jumping, flicking, what a save by Mania.
15:45It came off Olly Watkins.
15:47That's a brilliant stop.
15:49Mike Mania, watch this.
15:50This is a great save.
15:51Yeah, he's a great goalkeeper.
15:53What a leap from Tony.
15:56That's outstanding from the French goalkeeper.
15:58And he reads as well.
15:58Lots of bodies in there.
16:00With the pass, Warren Zaire, Emery was there.
16:02Here's Michael Alisse.
16:04Still Michael Alisse.
16:06He was going to hit the target from there.
16:08That should be 4-3.
16:09That should be 4-3.
16:10And I'll tell you what, England aren't tracking back.
16:12Just like France on the first half.
16:14I can't believe it.
16:15You get four goals up.
16:17And all the attacking players are turning on.
16:19They're not tracking back.
16:20Look at the space for Alisse.
16:22Everybody drops off.
16:23Have they swapped shirts at half-time?
16:25Weird.
16:25Very, very weird.
16:27But again, the best player suits him.
16:30Just such a smart player.
16:31Bradley Bargala.
16:36Kylian Mbappe.
16:38Ousmane Dembele.
16:41Saved by Henderson.
16:42I mean, this theoretically should be 4-4.
16:45It should.
16:45At least they want to take a little bit of the pressure off.
16:48You know, what you could actually get.
16:50Gets cagey sometimes when it's so much at stake.
16:53And the graphic on the screen only tells you part of the story.
16:57Here's Mbappe.
16:58He's going to score.
16:58He does score.
16:59It's 4-3.
17:01Mbappe scored the most goals in the history of the World Cup.
17:04He's gone past Lionel Messi.
17:06And Franca right back in it.
17:08What a match.
17:13Goal for Chris!
17:29I simply cannot believe what my eyes are seeing here in Miami.
17:34Truly astonishing.
17:35What a ball from Alisse.
17:36Are you kidding me?
17:38Outside of the left foot.
17:41What a finish that is, by the way.
17:44I mean, France were a disaster in the first half.
17:47Second half, it just exploded.
17:49The ball from Alisse is just off the charts good.
17:53Look what it means to Didier Deschamps.
17:56Well, only this might be a victory for him in his final match as the French coach.
18:00It might be the greatest players ever.
18:02Maybe the two greatest players ever, Pelé and Messi.
18:06Here's Gusteau.
18:08Oh, that should have been 4-4.
18:10I was just waiting for the neck to ripple.
18:12Alisse's shot.
18:14Honest favourite left as well.
18:16I can't believe it.
18:17What a look from Gusteau.
18:19Squares it.
18:20Just opens it up a little bit too much.
18:24Oh, he's going wide.
18:29That French player tackling and defending.
18:33Anderson for Tony was the first change.
18:41Bellingham for Ezzer.
18:42Well, Watkins will go up front.
18:43Roger will go on the left.
18:44Yeah.
18:48Now they've got better balance.
18:49Now they've got the midfield 1-8.
18:51Declan Rice, Elliot Anderson and Drew Bellingham.
18:54The problem is, though, they've got about 18 or 19 minutes
18:56when you factor in stoppage time to stop the French scoring.
18:59England, Bellingham's pass.
19:01Watkins running.
19:03Gusteau didn't get there.
19:04Watkins against Lacroix.
19:07Saka's the only England player up there supporting him.
19:09Bellingham's arrived.
19:10Takes it well.
19:11Bellingham in.
19:11What a run by Bellingham.
19:13Took too long, has he?
19:14Bellingham, Armenia saves it.
19:16Rogers on the follow-up.
19:17There's the block by Lacroix.
19:18But Bellingham had to do it so much quicker than he did it.
19:25Mbappe, oh, a little shift to the ball.
19:27Played inside to Alisse.
19:28Dembele, Alisse.
19:30Oh, it's wide.
19:31It's wide.
19:32Owen Hargreaves jumped up because he was certain it was 4-4.
19:36Can't believe what I'm saying.
19:37The football was electric.
19:38Honestly, beautiful.
19:40Watch this football.
19:41Little triangles.
19:42Mbappe.
19:42Touch.
19:43Touch.
19:45Oh, my word.
19:47On his weaker right.
19:48Alisse.
19:54What a game of football.
19:57I mean, this is fantasy stuff.
19:59This is fantasy stuff.
20:02Let me tell you, if you're watching the World Cup for the first time this summer, you don't
20:07see many games like this.
20:09Just sit back and enjoy it.
20:10You'll be thinking, Chance, just before.
20:12Just come on as well.
20:14Here's Rogers.
20:15On it goes to Spence.
20:16Gusto's fouled in penalty.
20:18Gusto with the foul.
20:19England with the penalty.
20:20That's it.
20:27Jed Spence was just too quick for him.
20:36No, Jed Spence is great.
20:38Just gets there before him.
20:39Gusto easy decision.
20:40He's got to stay on his feet.
20:41Don't go to ground there.
20:45Well done, Jed Spence from that left back position.
20:47Attacking.
20:48Timed it beautifully.
20:49The weight of the pass.
20:50Timing of the touch.
20:55Oh, he scores!
20:57The Kai Osaka with his second England hat-trick.
21:00And just the fourth hat-trick scored by an England player in a World Cup.
21:055-3.
21:10England!
21:31Jeff Hurst at the final of 1966.
21:34Gary Lineker against Poland in 1986.
21:37Harry Kane against Panama in 2018.
21:40But Kai Osaka against France in 2026.
21:44Didn't he take that penalty well?
21:45Oh, he did.
21:45What an assist from Drew Bellingham, by the way.
21:47Giving him the opportunity.
21:49Exception will take from Saka.
21:56And they didn't just defend, did they?
21:57Jed Spence made that run, which leads to that penalty.
22:02France are going to make another change.
22:03They're going to send on Jules Koundé.
22:07And as mad as it seems, there's only two minutes of intercepted by Upamikano.
22:12Dembele's made the run out wide and Spence is not there.
22:15Mbappé in the middle.
22:17Dembele drops the shoulder, hits the shot, he scores!
22:195-4, we haven't finished yet.
22:22There's still time for France.
22:43Please tell me this is really happening.
22:46What about Upamikano?
22:47Turned into creator.
22:49Again, winning the ball.
22:51Dembele.
22:53Brilliant.
22:53Just that little hesitation on Chalabot.
22:55How about that for an introduction?
22:57Little hezi there.
22:58Sit down, Chalabot.
23:00What a finish, by the way.
23:01That's the one I meant he missed before, didn't he, Fledge?
23:03Hits straight at the keeper.
23:04He normally just guides it into that back post.
23:07No chance for Henderson.
23:09Well, that's six in the World Cup.
23:1020-26 for Dembele.
23:13It's the highest.
23:14They're desperate now, England.
23:17Saka sweeps it on.
23:18Watkins has gone up for Mekano, who's been like a machine since he came on.
23:21But look at Bellingham.
23:23Bellingham wins it back.
23:25Lacroix back there for France.
23:27Bellingham with the step over.
23:28Bellingham with the cutback.
23:29Bellingham's going to win it shortly.
23:31Bellingham, 6-4, 10 goals in the game.
23:38And England's number 10 decides it.
23:40What a match.
23:44Goal.
23:46Goal.
23:48Goal.
23:48Goal.
23:49Goal.
23:50Goal.
23:51Goal.
23:53Goal.
23:54Goal.
23:56Goal.
23:59Goal.
24:04Jude Bellingham becomes the first English player to score seven goals in a World Cup.
24:10What a moment and what a goal.
24:11I'll tell you what, a little step over there.
24:13How about that for a little shot?
24:14Leaves the goal for dead.
24:15Composure.
24:17My word, what a goal that is from Jude Bellingham.
24:20That sums him up in a nutshell.
24:22Hard running, a bit of skill, a bit of flair, and grabs the moment as good as anyone.
24:27How appropriate, Owen, that England's best player in the World Cup puts the exclamation point on what's been the best.
24:34Wow, what a game of football.
24:36It's finished.
24:37It's finished.
24:38Just sit back and relax, everybody.
25:04I got it.
