England takes a 1-0 lead 3 minutes into the third place match. England's fans are asking their coach if it is too early to go into the shell defense.

Good one @Voice of Reason. I don't believe it is going to matter today as France has laid down in this 3rd place game as it is now 4-0 at the half.

Got to give credit to the announcer on TV for that. They are cracking me up with their commentary on this match. When England scored goal 4, the color announcer said it's going to be a lot more than that the way France is playing.

Very disappointing..

As Lee Corso would say "not so fast" France has come back to make it now 4-3 England with 12 minutes to play.

England makes it 5-3 now after Saka gets his 3rd goal (Hat Trick) with 2 minutes left in the match before extra time.

There is 7 minutes of extra time with England still up 5-3.

France gets another goal to make it now 5-4 with still somewhere between 1 and probably 3 minutes left in the match.

My goodness England answers back in less than a minute with a score by Bellingham to put England back up 2 goals at 6-4 with less than a minute to play.

It is a final with England winning the 3rd place match 6-4 over France.

That is the most entertaining soccer match I have ever watched. France was dominated in the first half. Then they turned the tables on England in the second half. When it got within 1 goal at 4-3, it was very even with England finally taking the match back over. The last goal for England by Bellingham was masterful.

Thanks, obviously I wasn't watching today (race cars you know) and jumped to a conclusion.

Oh, it was ugly the first half. And then just as ugly for England the first 25-30 minutes of the second half. Ugly but a lot of goals scored and some beautiful passing/offense.

In addition, the announcers were hilarious. I laughed out loud several times at their commentary.

I may watch the replay, lol.

0-0 going to extra time.
