The English built their decisive lead already in the first half, which they won 4:0. However, France significantly narrowed the gap after the break, and the favourites had to defend their lead in the closing stages, which brought them their first World Cup medal in sixty years. The media therefore described the match in different ways: some called it an offensive showcase and one of the tournament's most captivating duels, while other reactions pointed to laxness and England's nearly squandered lead. sme.sk ↗
The clash also produced individual milestones. Kylian Mbappé became the all-time top scorer in the history of World Championships, surpassing Lionel Messi in that historic ranking. France's Michael Olise, meanwhile, broke Pelé's historic record and formed one of the tournament's most lethal duos with Mbappé. On the English side, mention is also made of a new record for a substitute player, which took the top spot away from Gary Lineker and Harry Kane. teraz.sk ↗
For third place, England will also receive a financial reward of 29 million from the total pool of 871 million, which the world football federation will distribute among the 48 participants. The tournament will culminate in the final between Argentina and Spain. hnonline.sk ↗
