England edge France 6-4 in World Cup bronze match goal fest
Miami, United States: England beat France 6-4 in a chaotic World Cup third-place playoff on Saturday as Kylian Mbappe became the all-time leading scorer in World Cup history.
Both teams had higher aspirations at the 2026 tournament but suffered painful semi-final exits -- France were outplayed by Spain while England suffered a late collapse against Argentina.
Both coaches made multiple changes for the match in the oppressive heat of Miami, with a host of stars on the bench at the start.
England boss Thomas Tuchel left out Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham from his starting line-up while Deschamps, stepping down after 14 years at the helm, omitted Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembele.
Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice put England ahead with a goal from distance in the third minute and Ezri Konsa headed home to make it 2-0.
Kylian Mbappe and Michael Olise were a threat as France searched for a way back into the game but they found England's second-choice goalkeeper Dean Henderson in top form.
The game threatened to become embarrassing for France when Bukayo Saka made it 3-0 after a swift break.
And it was 4-0 in first-half stoppage time when Saka scored his second goal of the game, celebrated with a fist pump by Tuchel.
France coach Didier Deschamps told French TV channel M6 that the first-half display had been "catastrophic", urging his men to show pride.
He made four changes, bringing on Dembele, Dayot Upamecano, Lucas Digne and Barcola and was rewarded almost instantly when Mbappe scored his ninth goal of the tournament to move clear of Lionel Messi at the top of the Golden Boot standings.
The game had now totally changed complexion and Barcola pulled another goal back, with Deschamps clenching his fist on the bench.
Mbappe then netted his second of the game to become the all-time leading World Cup goalscorer with 22 goals -- slotting home from Olise's pass.
That put him two ahead of Messi in the race to finish as top scorer at the 2026 tournament.
France squandered a number of chances to equalise and England were handed a chance to extend their lead when Malo Gusto brought down Djed Spence in the penalty area.
Saka stepped up to the spot and converted to complete his hat-trick.
There was still time for Dembele to grab a fourth for France but Bellingham then strode forward to score the 10th goal of the match with an individual effort.
In doing so Bellingham became the first England player to score seven goals at a World Cup.
By finishing third, England secured their best result at a World Cup since winning the tournament in 1966, though they will carry bitter memories of their defeat by defending champions Argentina.
Deschamps led France to World Cup glory in 2018 and finished as runners-up four years ago.
Les Bleus were favourites to win the 2026 tournament after a sensational start but were well-beaten 2-0 by Spain in the semi-finals.
Three-time champions Argentina face European champions Spain in the final in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Sunday.
Sindhu wins Japan Open to end title drought
Tokyo: Indian badminton star Pusarla Venkata Sindhu ended a title drought of almost two years at the Japan Open on Sunday and said winning would give her "a lot of confidence".
Sindhu, a world champion in 2019 and Olympic silver medallist in 2016, beat Japan's Akane Yamaguchi 21-17, 21-17 in Tokyo to win the competition for the first time.
It was her first title since she won the Syed Modi India International in Lucknow in 2024.
Sindhu has set her sights on a medal on home soil when New Delhi hosts the world championships next month, and she said her win in Japan would boost her chances.
"This one was very important because playing in finals is one thing, but winning and getting that gold is a different thing altogether," the 31-year-old said.
"I'm happy that I'm on the positive side. This gives me a lot of confidence."

Sindhu was playing in her first final since winning in Lucknow, after losing in the semi-finals twice on badminton's world tour this year.
She is currently ranked number 10 in the world.
Sindhu jumped out to an early lead against world number three Yamaguchi and held on to take the first game.
She clinched the title when Yamaguchi hit a shot that was called in, only for Sindhu to successfully overturn it with a challenge.
"I had tears in my eyes because it was really important to me," Sindhu said.
"I am working hard and focusing hard on myself.
"I kept believing that I could do it, even though a lot of people were wondering what was happening."
Popov wins men's title
France's Christo Popov captured the men's singles title, beating Japan's Koki Watanabe 21-11, 21-19 in the final.
It was Popov's third title of the year, following wins at the European Championships and German Open.
"It's a great performance, it's one of the biggest things I've done in my life," said world number five Popov, who was the fifth seed in Tokyo.
"I'm actually very happy to do it in Japan. I've always liked the country, the culture and respect."
Popov said his performances in Tokyo had convinced him that he can win a medal at the world championships.

"I know it's very difficult, way harder than here," the 24-year-old said.
"I think the pressure is much higher as well and the players will be ready 100 percent there.
"I want a medal, that's my goal."
China's Feng Yanzhe and Huang Dongping won the mixed doubles title, beating Hong Kong's Tang Chun Man and Tse Ying Suet 21-14, 14-21, 21-15.
South Korea's Kim Hye-Jeong and Kong Hee-yong won the women's doubles title after an epic battle against China's Jia Yifan and Zhang Shuxian, eventually triumphing 14-21, 21-15, 30-29.
Indonesia's Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Shohibul Fikri beat South Korean top seeds Kim Won-ho and Seo Seung-jae 21-19, 21-17 in the men's doubles final.
