00:00The team's on their way out in Miami with the call of France against England. It is Simon Brotherton and
00:05Mark Schwartzer.
00:10But while Norway were beaten in extra time, Messi and Argentina found a late way to ensure the three Lions
00:18dreams were dashed again.
00:20Worth noting though, amid English disappointment, third place today would be their best World Cup finish in 60 years when
00:28they won it at Wembley.
00:29In 1966.
00:32And as both squads head either side of the halfway line, it's the 33rd meeting between these two nations with
00:42history.
00:42And it's a repeat of the quarterfinal in Qatar.
00:46National Anthem of France.
01:09The National Anthem of England.
01:12The National Anthem of England.
01:12National Anthem of France.
01:16National Anthem of France.
01:42Zaka big news it from Aston Villa to Chelsea reportedly around a hundred here
01:49are our match of Layla he's from Venezuela at the FIFA World Cup Salahs
01:55from Uruguay let's make plenty of changes France makes
02:00seeking their first starts of this World Cup who leads the race for the Golden
02:04Boot on it and now Spence who was excellent in the semi-final so he will
02:09have been kicking his heels since space for Rashford on the near side that's a
02:14decent ball in almost finding Ivan Toni in the middle away comes Teo Hernandez
02:19yeah it's great defending Malacroix he needs the vital touch because Toni was in
02:22a perfect position the start there's Ivan Toni had another in boot in the Saudi
02:26Pro League on the final day of this season by Julian Quiñones
02:30Rice is going to have a crack and he's going to score two minutes and 16 seconds
02:39captain for the day leads the way England make the perfect start as they pick
02:46themselves up from the disappointment of the semi-final defeat to Argentina
02:53that's a competitive fixtures and well one record is going open game you see it's
02:59been a quite a relaxed sort of opening to the game and the way in which Declan
03:04Rice won that ball venture forward
03:08Tony will chase and he'll be beaten to it initially by this is Lacroix of the
03:13Crystal Palace is the game letter stages of the game but something that the last nine
03:27here come England again as it leaves it collected by Rashford England will have a
03:33corner yeah good play down the right-hand side from Saka fought from my World Cup
03:38match after English goalscorer to take
03:44lovely turn away from Rabiope alarm bells are ringing for England but it was
03:50just a little bit under hit and Papai had to the space here for
03:59his back injury he'll be out unfortunately for quite a while for Arsenal as we look
04:03ahead to the new season nice with the delivery and then
04:07and I'm gonna receive certainly Thomas Turkle has been a lot more adventurous
04:11and aggressive they're a do a sir looking for an opening and as he loves to go
04:19venturing forward suddenly springing to life
04:25yeah there's always a constantly bound England are able to deal with the day
04:34yeah yeah I think yeah it is Connarte just signed for Real Madrid
04:40Al wants to take it quickly it's blocked by
04:47by Mark Gay
04:50which indicates that it is everybody back for England at the moment
04:55wasn't humid this is certainly a lot more manageable for the players and the
04:59England players having in his career at the World Cup finals and Spence and Alise
05:03and there is some way to play it at that level that intensity
05:08the Kyle sakura
05:11on some
05:14no changes for Francine go
05:18lovely skillful play through midfield looking for a lease a gay in the sacker and
05:24Lacroix gets a foot in vitally for France yeah very good defending in the end of
05:28what us really well because initially it looks angels can sometimes work against in
05:33from rice
05:34and into the back of the net a second goal for England
05:40Esri Consar
05:452-0 inside the opening 20 minutes of the game

06:35to the floor there by the sturdy figure of Rabiot
