It doesn't matter. matched

It is about the fact that that game looked like an all-star game. matched

It was fun. matched

It was a great time to see 10 goals scored in one game, to see England deliver their best and Bukayo Saka score a hat-trick and Jude kind of respond well from coming from behind and sort of the difficulties that they had. matched

It was a fun game, but it really has no bearing on what the rest of the tournament showed. matched

I mean, the rest of the tournament is an incredibly difficult grind, teams struggling to score, teams struggling and fighting over consequence. matched

The third place game is not a game of consequence. matched

There is no other game in the World Cup that is taking turns trying hard. matched

It is incredibly rare. matched

Argentina are some bad losers, man. matched
