It might not have been the night you wanted to watch France play England, but the World Cup wooden spoon match more than delivered for fans of goals, goals, goals.

That's all but one done Stateside, then. But what a one it will be.

Sunday. 8pm. Spain versus Argentina. The World Cup final. And we'll be back covering all the build-up, team news, and more from mid-afternoon. Until then!

The 10 goals scored in Miami make France vs England the highest-scoring match in 44 years, with only four matches seeing players net a bigger haul.

These are...

Hungary 10-1 El Salvador, 1982

Hungary 8-3 Germany, 1954

Austria 7-5 Switzerland, 1954

Brazil 6-5 Poland, 1938

They're tied currently with another high-scoring France side, who beat Paraguay 7-3 in 1958.

A record-breaking evening for Bukayo Saka personally, and one helped along by his team-mates.

In his interview at full-time, Saka revealed that Jude Bellingham had handed him the ball before England's penalty and said:

Go and get your hat-trick.

The France captain has some kind words for the man who handed him the armband, and oversaw his World Cup win in 2018. Cold comfort, after being able to thank him with a final win to end his long-term tenure.

Perhaps not the greatest pose to have been caught in - Rayan Cherki looked ripe for the St Tropez sun lounger after he was substituted off in the second-half.

Unsurprisingly, social media has since made him a poster boy for a decidedly absent-minded performance from Les Bleus.

A final classy touch from the England stars who refuse to pose for their photo before a final member of their World Cup squad is ushered into the fold to receive their medal.

They frantically beckon over training goalkeeper Jason Steele, who looks as surprised to receive the medal as some World Cup watchers will have been to be reminded he was in the set-up.

A very sweet moment from the unified camp.

It might not be the colour that they wanted, but in this moment, it has a certain value.

The Three Lions stars further endear themselves to this blogger by keeping their medals on, rather than the move which has become contemporary custom - ripping them off in case their third-place status carries a permanent curse.

I'm running off into the night now, but my colleague Tamara Prenn will be taking over to steer you through all the rest of the reaction. There's certainly plenty to talk about!

Well, if we're having such a riotous affair in the game nobody cares about, what happens when you combine two of the world's best attacking forces in the showpiece occasion?

I'm predicting a few fewer goals for the final - the defences are more resolute and have more to play for - but it could still be a firecracker.

Punters should back Lamine Yamal to score the opener, Lionel Messi to bag a penalty and Spain to win in extra-time in a madcap game, according to data algorithm put together by cafecasino lv.

I'm going for Argentina...

A bittersweet memento for Saka. Still, a great memory for him and his co-stars. They may have not wanted to be here, but that must have been a rollercoaster of a game to be involved in. I think they'll look back on it with many smiles.

Jude Bellingham is the first England player to score seven goals in a single World Cup or European Championship.

Harry Kane bagged six this time and in 2018, Gary Lineker managed six in 1986, but nobody has done seven until now.

He had his critics in the months leading up to this tournament but he has proven his immense qualities. Fair play.
