England laughs last in the penalty shootout; the champion is still optimistic about Spain

France and England have traded wins in recent years, and both teams have the strength to challenge for the world championship. This third-place match tests the teams’ mental state more than their pure technical ability.
It’s expected that both sides will play relatively cautiously, probing each other in the first half, and only then gradually increasing the tempo in the second half. France took the lead thanks to Mbappé, while England leveled the score by capitalizing on a corner opportunity, with the match finishing 1:1 after 90 minutes.
After entering the penalty shootout, England’s goalkeeper put in a standout performance, making multiple successful saves. In the end, England won the shootout 5:4 over France (1:1 in regular time) to claim the World Cup third place.
As for the champions, given their overall strength, balance between attack and defense, and their form in the tournament, Spain is still favored to defeat Argentina 2:1 in the final and ultimately lift the 2026 World Cup trophy.
