In a stunning friendly match on July 18, 2026, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, England defeated France 10-0. The result marked one of the largest victories in England's recent history, with captain Harry Kane scoring four goals.
Other scorers included Bukayo Saka (2), Jude Bellingham (2), and substitutes Cole Palmer and Ollie Watkins each adding one. France fielded a weakened squad due to injuries and rested key players ahead of the upcoming Euro 2028 qualifiers.
England manager Gareth Southgate praised his team's performance but cautioned against overinterpreting the result given France's absentees. The match was part of both teams' summer tour preparations.
