💔 Third-Place Heartbreak: France 4–6 England
Alas, France lost to England in the chaotic third-place playoff at FIFA World Cup 2026. I'm very disappointed — a terrible first half, followed by second-half mistakes, cost us the match 4–6. A total disaster. Still, huge respect to the team for the run this tournament, and hats off to Mbappé for taking the Golden Boot lead despite the result.
