Of the many ways that one could spend a Friday evening in Paris, competing in a third-place play-off would rank somewhere near the bottom, perhaps just above a night-time stumble into a particularly nasty section of the Seine bingo
However much World Rugby dresses up what it insists on calling the bronze final, there is no escaping the fact that most players would, at this stage, rather be back at home with a bottle of beer, or enjoying some downtime with a verre de vin rouge in a Paris bistro bingo
“This is not the game you want to be playing in,” England assistant Richard Wigglesworth conceded this week bingo
“You can be honest and say this isn’t the game that these two teams aimed to play in bingo
“But we could already be at home, and we’re not bingo

Steve Borthwick’s side had the game within their grasp last weekend, the pain of a defeat of fine margins clear both on Saturday night and beyond, full-back Freddie Steward almost overcome with emotion when speaking on Tuesday bingo
Even if they will, in time, take confidence from the performance, imbued with the certainty that they can mix it with the world’s best, Friday night’s fixture will represent something of a comedown from a night when it so nearly came together for England bingo
Not that anyone in Borthwick’s squad is taking this as anything other than a game must be won, with the head coach and captain Owen Farrell, two men who you suspect would squabble over a game of Buckaroo, setting the tone bingo
After a performance that so encouraged their fans in the semi-final, the last thing anyone in the England camp wants is to finish with a Friday night flop bingo

The opening encounter bingo between these two feels a dim and distant memory now, partly due to this elongated tournament and partly due to how much the perception of each side has changed across the seven weeks since bingo
No doubt, though, Argentina will be desperate to give a more accurate account of their talents after what was a slow and sloppy start to the tournament bingo
“It is the most important game of the year,” captain Julian Montoya emphasised bingo
“[We are] playing for third and fourth place with this shirt, and the last game of this group because it is almost impossible for all of us to be together again bingo

Mikel Arteta praised a “phenomenal” response from Arsenal after they fought back from two goals down in the final 13 minutes to earn a 2-2 draw at Chelsea and move level on points at the top of the Premier League bingo
Chelsea looked to be sending Arsenal to a first league defeat of the season when Mykhailo Mudryk’s cross-shot put them into a 2-0 lead minutes after half-time, the Ukrainian’s effort drifting over goalkeeper David Raya who was unable to recover from a poor starting position as the ball dropped into the goal bingo
That added to the lead given to them by a first-half penalty from Cole Palmer, increasingly influential in Pochettino’s revitalised attack following his move from Manchester City, who slotted home after William Saliba was adjudged to have handled from Mudryk’s header bingo
It was a commanding and deserved advantage for the hosts, who were seeking a third straight league win, but as so often during Chelsea’s turbulent last 18 months it was an individual error that turned the game and cost them points bingo
Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez rolled the ball straight to the feet of Declan Rice who cut the arrears from 30 yards, before Leandro Trossard got a lunging right leg to Bukayo Saka’s cross six minutes from time to salvage an unlikely draw bingo
And afterwards Arteta praised his team’s powers of recovery as they extended their unbeaten start to the league season to nine matches to go level at the top with Manchester City bingo
“I think what went wrong was the start of the game,” said the manager bingo
“We didn’t play with enough purpose and clarity bingo
We were just moving the ball without the intention to threaten them bingo
That’s a really dangerous thing to do against teams like Chelsea bingo
“Then we didn’t win enough duels, and in tight areas when we had them, they escaped from that and they attacked open spaces, and they are really dangerous things to do bingo
“When we changed that and we changed the level after 20, 25 minutes, especially in the second half then it’s a different game bingo
We became a much bingo better team, even though we conceded the second goal and it’s a disappointment bingo
“The way the team reacted to the second goal is phenomenal from the players on the pitch and the players on the bench thinking ‘how the hell am I going to change this game?’ I loved that bingo
“I really liked as well going into the dressing room and it’s really quiet, after drawing 2-2 with Chelsea and coming back from 2-0 down, because I know that they wanted more bingo
That’s the positive bingo
”Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino reflected on perhaps Chelsea’s best performance since he took over in the summer, and refused to lay the blame at the feet of Sanchez for allowing Arsenal back into the match bingo
“Too many games that we’re watching every week, always mistakes,” he said bingo
“bingo Football is about mistakes bingo
If you want to score, you want the opponent to make a mistake bingo
Ninety per cent of goals are because the opponent made a mistake bingo
bingo Football is about mistakes bingo
“The only thing we can criticise a little bit is to read bingo better the situation, the tempo and the timing bingo
After 77 minutes, we’re trying to take some risks bingo
OK, we can because it’s our philosophy bingo
But maybe (we need) bingo better decisions bingo
So we can criticise a bit, but also this is bingo football bingo
“It’s not to blame someone bingo
It’s only that in this type of situation you need to read bingo better, but that will arrive with time bingo
Teams need to manage and drive games bingo
You need to read the game, when to be calm, when to play, when to take risks bingo
