England Looking to Bounce Back

Until their heartbreaking 2-1 semifinal defeat to Argentina, England boasted an unblemished record at this year's tournament. After navigating a series of high-stakes, close matchups in the knockout stages, the squad is hungry to secure a final victory today. England will lean heavily on stars Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, both of whom lead the team with six goals apiece this tournament.

France Aiming to Rebound

France, a team that had their sights set on securing their second World Cup title in eight years, saw their championship dreams dashed by Spain in the semifinals. Coming off a 2-0 loss in which they struggled to generate offense with just three shots on goal, France will look to playmaker Kylian Mbappe to spark their attack. Mbappe enters today's match as the team's leading scorer with eight goals in the tournament.
