France, England prepare for gloomy World Cup send-off
MIAMI: France and England will bid a gloomy farewell to the World Cup on Saturday when they face each other in the dreaded third-place play-off in Miami. Both teams head to Florida still raw from semifinal defeats that have left both footballing nations licking wounds, which, in the eyes of many, were largely self-inflicted. France, the tournament’s outstanding team en route to the last four, were anonymous in the face of a tactical masterclass by Spain on Tuesday and slumped to a 2-0 defeat. England added another chapter to their long history of World Cup heartache on Wednesday when they surrendered the initiative and a lead to lose 2-1 to Argentina in Atlanta. France and England must now attempt to summon the remnants of their competitive will and physical reserves for a game that is widely disliked throughout football. “None of our players and none of the French players want to play this match,” England manager Thomas Tuchel said after his team’s agonizing semifinal defeat. “They want to play the final. We gave everything to achieve that. Everyone plays to win the World Cup, but that’s how it is. “We have one less day of recovery than France, but we will do it with professionalism.”
Spain favored, Argentina seeing more action for World Cup final
NEW YORK: Spain opened as the +125 favorites to win the World Cup and stood at +130 as of Thursday morning, but Lionel Messi and defending champions Argentina are seeing more of the betting action, according to BetMGM. Argentina — who opened at +250 at the sportsbook and have since moved to +240 — have received 58 percent of the total bets and 59 percent of the handle at BetMGM. That’s compared to 36 percent of the bets and 38 percent of the handle for Spain. A tie after extra time, which would necessitate a penalty kick shootout to decide the tournament, is on the board at +200, meaning it’s seen as likelier than an Argentina outright victory. Argentina prevailed on penalty kicks after playing France to a 3-3 tie at the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar. The over/under set for the game is 2.5 total goals (excluding penalties), with under 2.5 the heavily favored outcome at -165.
