Guess what ! Bronze final has been a part of the world cup since 1934, and England has never won it before. This guy is so blasé of England winning gold in 1966 so a bronze medal counts for nothing.

A potential Puskas award goal. Bellingham is absolutely world class. Congrats to England for giving us such an entertaining game. 👏 👏 👏

Best vs. best. Respect, quality, and a brilliant game from both England and France.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🥹👏

It’s not fair to call a World Cup third-place game a glorified friendly, especially after what we just saw. Sometimes the English media and English supporters are England’s worst enemies. Shame on you guys.

From Norway, good on you guys, and definitely no shame having lost to England this year after that performance against France.
I was happy to see how far the Norwegian team went, and I’m just as glad to see England make bronze, wish you got even further. There’s always next time eh lads?
Congratulations, cheers, enjoy the medal! Well deserved.

This is such a cynical take. The British media is toxic. Well done England for raising themselves and putting in a quality attacking performance
@
..THIS WAS ENGLAND'S 2ND BEST WORLD CUP EVER. THEY WON IN 1966. THEY FINISHED IN 3RD PLACE THIS YEAR. AND THEY HAD TWO 4TH PLACE FINISHES. THAT IS THEIR HISTORY...
@
Sometimes you listen to pundits and they haven't achieved nothing themselves I believe in these boys and I'm proud that,they played with heart and intregrity sometimes reflect and look at what did you achieve yourselves which so far is probably nothing
@
Saka became only the fourth player in history to score a World Cup hat trick for the Three Lions, joining Sir Geoff Hurst (1966), Gary Lineker (1986), and Harry Kane (2018).
@
The British media almost brought their own team down, but you didn't take Tuchel's cleverness into consideration.
@

Yes boy's! Not the end we wanted but glad we were able to end with some pride!
@
Proud of the team
@
How many friendly matches have you seen with that score line? That was one of the best WC matches I've seen since Germany knocked out Brazil. Great job, England!
@
Only the media could bring England down again
@
"Before Wednesday he was akin to a national hero...", half an hour of football later... "he's under enormous pressure and will he continue as manager". You just summed how ridiculous, hysterical and OTT your coverage is there didn't you fellas. How many great performances did we see from any team during this World Cup, from France and Spain sure. But who else... Do the English media even watch any other football matches... They don't talk as if they do.
@
England haven't won a medal in World Cup since 1966. It's a big milestone for them
@
Pundits - crazy comments saying this wasn't a real game. No professional player wants to just turn up and get hammered on the world stage. So, give both teams credit. England picked themselves up and showed the world what they really are. France fought back, showing the world why they were the tournament favourites. This was everything we should expect - two very talented squads, attacking and wanting to win. Bellingham's goal summed it up.
@
My god, these pundits take themselves so seriously 😂
