World Cup: 10 goals in third-place match; Golden Horse Best Supporting Actor Chen Mu-yi is thrilled

England secured third place in the 2026 World Cup, triumphing over France with a decisive 6-4 victory in a match that produced a remarkable ten goals. The English team's performance was highlighted by a hat-trick from Bukayo Saka, contributing significantly to their win and securing the team's first-ever bronze medal in the tournament's history.

France, after being defeated by Spain in the semi-finals, faced England in the third-place playoff. Historically, the two nations have met 32 times in international competition, with England holding a slight advantage. This match added another chapter to their rivalry, with England ultimately prevailing.

Veteran actor and Golden Horse Best Supporting Actor winner Chen Mu-yi shared his enthusiasm for the third-place match on Facebook. He described the game as "too good to watch," appreciating the high number of goals and the lack of aggressive fouls, which he felt allowed for a more fluid and enjoyable spectacle for the audience. Chen contrasted this with the often tense, low-scoring finals, suggesting that third-place matches, when played with open attacking intent, can offer a more entertaining experience for fans.
