Although both sides fell short of reaching the final, the match carries added significance for head coaches Thomas Tuchel and Didier Deschamps.
France coach Deschamps admitted his team was disappointed by its 2-0 semifinal defeat to Spain but insisted the players have a responsibility to give their best until the final whistle whenever they represent their country.
Tuchel, meanwhile, is under pressure after England squandered a first-half lead in a 2-1 semifinal loss to Argentina. He acknowledged that England still trails football's top teams but said a third-place finish would mark the country's best World Cup result in nearly six decades.
