PLAYER RATINGS | France 4-6 England: Didier Deschamps swansong ends in defeat in crazy matchDidier Deschamps 185th and final match as France coach ended in a frustrating defeat, after the team showed impressive character to come back from a first half humiliation, only to fall a little short. The one consolation for France is that Kylian Mbapps two goals and assist puts him in a great position to retain the golden boot, as well as making him the World Cups record goalscorer.The MatchIn the third place play-off match the game that no one wants to play one would have expected there to be a little more at stake for France than for England, les Bleus wanting to see Deschamps off in style and Kylian Mbapp hoping to secure his second straight golden boot award.However, in the first half there was only one team that looked interested in winning the match, England tearing France apart as much of the French team barely bothered to break into a run and an awful back four keeping a ridiculous high line. The 4-0 scoreline barely flattered England as they capitalised on error after error to punish the French, who could muster only a couple of tame, easily saved shots. Goal one came from a poor Dsir Dou ball and a failure to close Declan Rice down. Goal two came from Adrien Rabiot being outjumped at a corner. Goal three from the whole back line being caught napping from a France attack and goal four from more French laxity through the middle.Unsurprisingly Didier Deschamps gave his team a rocket at half time, made four changes and it was a different team in the second half, France rampaging through England almost at will. Dayot Upamecano set the tone, showing some proactivity from defence that was totally missing in the first half. His strong challenge began the move from which Michael Olise set Mbapp up to pull one back. Mbapp then turned provider, slipping Bradley Barcola to power home. Olises seventh assist of the World Cup put Mbapp through to score his 10th of the tournament and become the World Cups all-time leading scorer. Ousmane Dembl and Michael Olise then squandered chances to equalise before a clumsy Malo Gusto challenge allowed England to restore their two-goal lead from the spot. France responded again, Dembl finally showing some end product. The pushed for a late equaliser but England had the final word, putting the game to bed on the break.A shame for Deschamps to end his great era in defeat and there are lessons to be learnt from the first half but the out-going coach can take pride in the reaction of his team in the second half.France player ratingsMike Maignan 5 made a couple of saves to keep France from further first half embarrassment but was slow to react to some goals. Made an important save early in the second half but could do nothing about Englands penaltyMalo Gusto 2 gets a point for at least attempting to add something going forward, but surely the first role of a full back is to be able to defend? Gave away the penalty which ended Frances chances of a resultIbrahima Konat 2 always looks like hes playing on ice, showed no leadership how is he near an international team and what were Real Madrid thinking? Rightly ditched at half-timeDayot Upamecano 6 totally changed the face of the game with his aggression and front-foot defending. Unfortunate that he was beaten on the halfway line in the lead-up to Englands sixthMaxence Lacroix 4 part of the first-half disaster, recovered well in the second half but was turned inside out for Englands sixthTho Hernandez 1 awful in defence, added nothing in attack. Unsurprisingly ditched at half-timeLucas Digne 5 came on at half-time and gave a solid performance defensively and going forward. Showed good character after his semi-final performanceWarren Zare-Emery 5 at least looked to bring some energy in the first half but gradually faded. Showed more than enough to suggest that he will be a big part of this team in the futureAdrien Rabiot 5 did not show the same dynamism as he did in the first half against Spain. Beaten in the air for Englands second. His bite returned in the second half to help France save their blushesRayan Cherki 3 this was his chance to show what a playmaker he can be. He failed to take the opportunity and also went off at half-timeOusmane Dembl 6 the one second half introduction who had very little to do with Frances revival, shooting and passing poorly. His late goal saved his performance. Still disappointing overall when compared with his Paris Saint-Germain formMichael Olise 6 although it is his style to look deceptively relaxed, he seemed totally uninterested in the first half, seemingly playing at walking pace. Showed a reaction in the second half, assisting twice for Mbapp but also missing two great chances to make it 4-4Dsir Dou 4 another player who struggled to impose himself in any way in the first half. His poor ball led to Englands first goal, setting the tone for the first period. Substituted at half-timeBradley Barcola 6 A bit part of the second half revival, stretching Englands defence numerous times and finishing well for Frances secondKylian Mbapp 7 At times guilty of trying to do too much on his own in the first half, before an excellent second half in which he scored two, assisted one and forced a couple more savesGFFN | Jeremy Smith
