France and England are set to play in the third-place match in Miami, a game that both teams acknowledge "nobody wants to be in." The weather is expected to be brutal in South Florida, with a heat index of over 95 degrees forecast for kickoff. France's Kylian Mbappe, who is tied for the 2026 World Cup lead with eight goals and is one behind Lionel Messi for the career record, is expected for significant contributions. The game also marks the last match for France boss Didier Deschamps, who will retire after a 14-year run that included a World Cup title in 2018. The third-party match is being held at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
