The game for third iin the World Cup s seen as not important. It is a different kind of game. It looks almost like a regular friendly game. The French and English coaches walked, hugging and seemed lighthearted. and were smiling. Despite not being able to win the big title, the players seemed serious. They were less excited but nonetheless ant to showcase their ability. There were some empty seats, but many spectators , some in costume.

Yeah, not that its just not title match but lots of empty seats because like 2000 dollars a ticket. Greed is out of control. I am not sure if that is Fifa or America or both, hey dumb dumbs, make it affordable or no one is going to care about the sport.

The price is high for tickets. I was surprised at how many were in this audience though. Are there watch parties in your city?

@Aquitaine24 Maybe like in groups of three, I can see my local bar having a little three party action, whats really neat about my local bar is how they will love that stick with your family thing and I am pretty sure no one will shoot them.
Welcome to America where every where you go will some one shoot me for having fun. Not in my watering whole. 
Just being honest.

Who cares who wins this totally unnecessary game of football.
Nobody gives a sh*t about this " bronze medal" game
It's high time FIFA cancelled this game for future world cups.
As I type this the English are winning the game by 4 goals to 2
I hope the French win

Yes, this is widely regarded as an unnecessary game. But it is turning out to better than imagined. England started with 4 goals. But now France has two! There is still over a half hour left and France now has 2 goals! Mbape has one of them. I think the players who have had a lot of goals appreciate being in the runnig for the Golden Boot.

This game should not count towards the golden boot either
It's a non event game
Which is now England 4 France 3
And Mbappe is now the highest ever goal scorer in a world cup

Yes, but it was enjoyable, and I guess that's how they've always done it.

It really was. They pulled out the stops more than at the final.
