France and England will contest the bronze final at the , with Les Bleus eyeing a third straight podium berth, while the Three Lions hunt a first World Cup medal since 1966.
Ahead of the match, FIFA takes you through a selection of the best third-place play-offs.
La Celeste were no stranger to drama following their pulsating quarter-final clash with Ghana in South Africa and their play-off battle with Germany at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium was no different.
Thomas Muller opened the scoring to draw level with David Villa and Wesley Sneijder on five goals in the race for the adidas Golden Shoe, only for Edison Cavani to equalise midway through the first half before Diego Forlan joined Muller on five goals with a superb volley just after the break.
It wouldn't last for long, however, as goals from Marcel Jansen and Sami Khedira turned the game on its head to take Germany to the podium, paving the way for Khedira and ten other members of that squad to go all the way four years later.
Zlatko Dalic's Croatia took part in the 2022 match, mirroring the feat of Miroslav Blazevic's side from their debut finals 24 years earlier.
After just 14 minutes, Robert Prosinecki spun Arthur Numan on the edge of the area and fired beyond Edwin van der Sar, before Boudewijn Zenden equalised with a ferocious 25-yard effort.
But the man of the moment was undoubtedly Davor Suker, as the Real Madrid striker swept home a terrifically arrowed drive late in the half, which won him the adidas Golden Shoe outright with six goals and confirmed the Vatreni's spot on the podium.
The third-place play-off is often fertile hunting ground for forwards looking to notch a decisive goal in their quest for personal glory, and Italia '90 proved no different for Salvatore Schillaci.
The super-sub turned starter took to the field against England level with Czechoslovakia's Tomas Skuhravy on five goals in the tournament's scoring charts. Goals from Roberto Baggio and David Platt left an action-packed game level going into the final moments, before Schillaci was brought down in the area by Paul Parker.
'Toto', as he was affectionately known, dusted himself down and slotted the ball beyond Peter Shilton to win the top scorer prize, as well as the adidas Golden Ball.
Didier Deschamps' side are out to clinch bronze for a third time this year, but they will do well to do it in as entertaining fashion as their 1958 side.
Les Bleus were armed with Just Fontaine who had already scored a record-breaking nine goals at the tournament and used the play-off to etch his names into the record books forever. He notched a first-half brace to give France a 3-1 lead, before repeating the feat in the second to carry his side to an incredible 6-3 victory.
