England and France delivered an extraordinary bronze medal match at the 2026 World Cup, with the Three Lions emerging victorious in a thrilling 6-4 encounter.
The game has already entered World Cup folklore, cementing its place as one of the highest-scoring matches in the tournament's history.
In fact, this was the highest-scoring World Cup match since 1982, when Hungary famously defeated El Salvador 10-1.
Only one other World Cup fixture has seen ten goals. Coincidentally, France was also involved in that game, with Les Bleus overcoming Paraguay 7-3 in 1958.
The most prolific match in World Cup history remains the clash between Austria and Switzerland at the 1954 tournament.
In that spectacular contest, the 'Crusaders' were defeated 5-7.
Now, only one more match remains at the 2026 World Cup, also scheduled for today, July 19th (Sunday). At 10:00 PM Bulgarian time, Argentina and Spain will face off in the grand final. This match, along with all 104 games from the tournament across the USA, Canada, and Mexico, can be watched live on bnt.sportal.bg.
