Summary

In the FIFA World Cup 2026 bronze final, England defeated France 6-4 on July 18 at Miami Stadium. England head coach Thomas Tuchel chose to rest Harry Kane for this match, prompting speculation among fans. Kane's absence was attributed to a rotation strategy following England's semifinal loss to Argentina. Despite trailing early, England maintained their lead in a high-scoring encounter. Kane will now have a break before returning to Bayern Munich.
