The World Cup 2026 reaches its penultimate chapter with a heavyweight European classic: France vs England battle it out for third place this Friday, July 17. The last edition of the World Cup belonged to Argentina, champions in Qatar in 2022 — and now, with the bronze medal match upon us, the tournament heads toward its conclusion.
Today's Matches
France vs England — Third Place Match | 18h (Brasília)
One of the most anticipated clashes outside the grand final. Two-time champions France (1998 and 2018) face off against England, champions in 1966. The historical weight is real on both sides, and the Pitacos da Copa fanbase is completely split: 50% are backing France and 50% are backing England, with zero votes on a draw — which makes perfect sense in a third-place match, where the result must be decided. According to the fans' pulse, France appears as the favourite, but with only half the votes, this is the definition of an open game. Which side are you on?
