England and France staged an authentic offensive festival in the third place match of the 2026 World Cup, with an impressive total of 10 goals, ending with an English victory of 6-4. This match marked one of the highest-scoring games in World Cup history, where the defenses seemed completely absent and shots were coming in from all directions.
The match took place in Miami and began with England shooting to a 4-0 lead before halftime, a start that left everyone astonished. France did not give up and staged one of the most unlikely comebacks ever, reducing the deficit to 4-3. However, Bukayo Saka, with a hat-trick, prevented the French turnaround, while Ousmane Dembélé and Jude Bellingham capped off the scoring with spectacular goals that sealed the English victory. The match was described as “madness” and “frustrating in equal measure,” highlighting the frantic and unpredictable nature of the game.

This match recalls other historic encounters with a high number of goals in World Cups. In 1958, Just Fontaine scored 13 goals, including a hat-trick against Paraguay, in a game where France ended up crushing the South Americans after being down 3-2. France finished that World Cup in third place, matching their best result until 1998. Another memorable moment was the clash between El Salvador and Hungary in 1982, when Lazlo Kiss scored the fastest hat-trick in World Cup history, netting three goals in seven minutes, in a match that ended with a staggering 10-1.
In the analysis of the highest-scoring games, Brazil's victory over Poland stands out, with a score of 6-5 in 1938, in a match where both sides had players scoring hat-tricks. Another legendary encounter was between Austria and Switzerland in the 1954 World Cup, which ended 7-5 in favor of the Austrians in a game played under intense heat, which seemed to affect the goalkeepers and defenses.
