France lost 6-4 to England in the World Cup third-place playoff, a match that marked the end of Didier Deschamps' 14-year tenure as national team manager. Despite a strong second-half comeback, the damage from a poor first-half performance proved too much to overcome.
Deschamps accepted responsibility for the team's sluggish start, acknowledging his role in the defeat. The match served as his final game in charge after more than a decade leading the French national side.
