\n

For Americans, the World Cup has a lot of weird stuff. We aren\u2019t used to games ending in ties. We don\u2019t really recognize the beauty of teams passing the ball back and forth, trying to see where it makes sense to attack the defense. Most of all, though, we are not used to major tournaments having a third-place game<\/a>, but we get that here as France takes on England.<\/p>\n

France disappointed me for a variety of reasons. Even if I didn\u2019t have a ticket on them to win the World Cup, I would\u2019ve probably been disappointed as they played Spain. They looked like they were little kids playing against adults out there. The lack of urgency, the skill disparity, and the overall performance looked brutal in comparison to what we\u2019ve seen from France in all of the other games of the World Cup.<\/p>\n

The only thing that France really has to play for now is pride. It was disappointing to see them not bother against Spain, but they have still been very strong against almost every other team in the league. Now, the other thing that they can take a shot at is getting Kylian Mbappe another goal. He has eight, which is tied with Lionel Messi for the Golden Boot, but he has fewer assists, so if he doesn\u2019t score, he will lose.<\/p>\n

England blew it. That\u2019s really the overwhelming thought from almost every analyst and everyone else. England fans are furious at their coach for “parking the bus” in the second half of the game. I can\u2019t say I blame them. England looked like they were just trying to run out the clock instead of being aggressive. We know Argentina is a good team, but England wasn\u2019t really playing keep away; they seemed to just be loading the box and hoping that their opponent wouldn\u2019t score.<\/p>\n

England can still make this a successful World Cup with a win. Sure, it isn\u2019t the same as winning the tournament, but coming in third does seem like it would be a surprisingly successful run for them. Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham have proved to be one of the best duos<\/a> in the entire tournament. The problem remains that it just hasn\u2019t been enough. I do expect them to be more aggressive after the disaster of the last game.<\/p>\n

Does that mean they will find the back of the net multiple times? I kind of doubt it, but I do expect both teams to attack regularly. The opening line of<\/a> this game was at 2.5 with juice on the over; it has now moved to 3.5, which gives a good middling opportunity if you bet the over originally.<\/p>\n

France still, in my eyes, remains the best team in the tournament \u2013 aside from Spain, I guess. I think they probably win this game in 90 minutes at -110, but I really don\u2019t know how motivated either team will be in a third-place game. I think Mbappe is going to try to score as many goals as possible for the Golden Boot. Him at +300 is worth a flyer for two goals. I will also take under 3.5 as I just don\u2019t see this game getting four goals.<\/p>\n
