Coverage of the third-place play-off, which takes place at Miami Stadium in the USA. This is a match likely to feature several squad players, as the managers give those who have patiently waited their turn the chance to end the tournament on a high. France were expected to reach the final, but were soundly beaten by Spain in the semi-finals, and this represents Didier Deschamps' final match in charge of Les Bleus. England blew a glorious chance to reach a second World Cup final, but let slip a 1-0 lead against Argentina, after Anthony Gordon's opener had put them on their way against the defending champions

Coverage of the final, which takes place at New York/New Jersey Stadium in the USA. Spain reached only their second World Cup final by defeating tournament favourites France with a masterclass in their semi-final, winning 2-0 and completely nullifying a disjointed French outfit with ease. They won on their only other appearance in the final, against the Netherlands in 2010, and start as favourites against the defending champions. Argentina are aiming to become only the third nation in history to win back-to-back world crowns, following on from Italy in the 1930s, and Brazil in 1958 and 1962, but will need to be at their very best against the Spaniards. The South Americans came from behind in the last 16 against Egypt and again against England in the semi-finals, with their fight and team spirit making up for weaknesses elsewhere
