Following England's bruising semi-final defeat on Wednesday night, the World Cup final is set to be contested between Spain and Argentina at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, 19 July.
Despite those two nations being the only remaining sides with a chance of winning the tournament, there is one other World Cup match still to be played this weekend, the third-place playoff between France and England.
In reality, nobody in either camp will want to play this game at the Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday night, but it could be an opportunity for some of the fringe players in both squads to show what they are capable of ahead of the next four-year international cycle.
If you are looking for tickets for the match, here is everything you need to know.
How to get tickets for the World Cup third-place playoff
Via FIFA
With just a couple of days to go until the third-place playoff between France and England, only a limited number of tickets are available through FIFA.
Since April, FIFA's last minute tickets phase has been active, where they have released a limited number of tickets in the build-up to select matches. No tickets have been made available for the third-place playoff, but it is still worth checking regularly as the match draws closer.
Alternatively, you can buy tickets for the match through FIFA's official resale portal. At the time of writing, several resale tickets are listed for the third-place playoff, but prices are through the roof. The cheapest available ticket on the resale portal is $747.50, while the most expensive is over $3m.

Via third parties
Considering FIFA are effectively allowing ticket touting on their resale platform, many fans are turning to third-party resale websites to see if they can pick up tickets at a lower price.
While these websites do not offer the same ticket guarantees as FIFA, some can be trusted because they verify that all tickets are legitimate before listing them.
To give FGG readers peace of mind, we recently reviewed two of the biggest resale platforms, Seatpick and LiveFootballTickets, and fans are encouraged to read those reviews before purchasing.
World Cup third-place playoff ticket prices
Face-value tickets for the third-place playoff were originally priced between $165 and $1,125 before FIFA were persuaded to add a small number of $60 tickets for fans of the competing nations.
With all of these tickets now sold out, fans are being forced to the resale market, where tickets are even more expensive. As mentioned earlier, the cheapest FIFA resale ticket is priced at $747.50, while the cheapest available ticket on Seatpick is more reasonable at £390.
