Declan Rice displayed a furious and disappointed demeanor after England's chaotic 6-4 victory over France in the 2026 World Cup bronze medal match. Rice, captaining the team with Harry Kane on the bench, scored the opening goal in the third minute. England built a 4-0 lead before France mounted a comeback, pulling to 4-3. Bukayo Saka's hat-trick penalty and Jude Bellingham's late goal secured the win, but Rice was visibly seething, still weighed down by the semi-final loss to Argentina and frustration at nearly throwing away the match. The article highlights Rice's intense mentality and the mixed emotions surrounding England's best World Cup finish since 1966.
