English Fans Show Little Interest in World Cup Third-Place Match Against France

According to BBC viewership data, English fans have little interest in the upcoming World Cup third-place match between England and France in Miami. Historically, the 2018 third-place match against Belgium drew only 9.8 million viewers, compared to 30.9 million for the semi-final loss to Croatia, with 20 million fans choosing not to watch. Ticket sales for the current match are sluggish, with at least 7,000 unsold as of July 17. England's preparation has been disrupted by thunderstorm-related travel delays in Kansas, while Argentina also faced travel issues ahead of the final. Despite the low enthusiasm, the match offers England a chance to achieve their second-best World Cup result.
