00:00England beat France 6-4 in a surprisingly tense World Cup third-place playoff with Bukayo Saka scoring a hat
00:07-trick as the three Lions secured their best finish at the tournament since 1966.
00:13Saka struck in the 37th minute, again in the first half stoppage time and completed his second England hat-trick
00:20from the penalty spot in the 87th.
00:22France trailed by four goals at halftime before launching a relentless fight back in the second period.
00:29Although Kylian Mbappe broke Lionel Messi's all-time World Cup's current record, France were unable to claim the bronze in
00:35a loss that saw Le Bleu concede six goals in a World Cup match, the first time in any match
00:41in approximately 66 years.
00:43For England, the third-place finish is the three Lions' best World Cup results since their 1966 triumph.
00:496-4, are you kidding me? That's one of the best matches I think in World Cup history.
00:52I know it's third-place match, but a lot of people talk trash about it, but at the same time,
00:57it's like both teams went for it, and they put pretty strong line-ups out there. What a match, one
01:01for the ages.
01:02What a comeback which was expected by Kylian Mbappe, and he's the hero. So, no regrets. It was always good.
01:12Doesn't matter if you lose or win. At the end, it was a brilliant game.
