England

Senegal's aggressive pressing prevented the Three Lions from getting a moment to breathe in the early going.Before contributing significantly to Harry Kane's and England's second just prior to the halftime whistle, Jude Bellingham set up Jordan Henderson for the game's opening goal in the 38th minute. Bukayo Saka was introduced to the team and added one more for England to assure their spot in the quarters. A semis spot awaits the Three Lions if they manage to send the defending champions home this Saturday.

England has a history of being eliminated in the quarterfinals; they were eliminated at this point in 1954, 1962, 1970, 1986, 2002, and 2006, and most of these exits have been in the hands of European opponents.

England is in terrific shape after going three games without giving up a goal at the World Cup, and Southgate may potentially become the first Three Lions manager to take his nation to more than one semis, but the French lie in their way.

France

Milan Striker became the all time leading French goalscorer with 52 goals after putting one past Poland in their round of 16 match to set up a quarters meeting with the English. In-form winger Kylian Mbappe then added two more to put on a convincing show and cement their position as favorites to win this year's World Cup.

Didier Deschamps's team has already triumphed in eight of their past 10 knockout matches against fellow UEFA teams and they have now advanced to the quarters in five of the last seven appearances , including each of their last three, but they have not yet silenced all the naysayers.

However, more recent history does not favor the Three Lions, who can only boast one win from their last eight matches against the world champions. Only worry for them is that they have not kept a clean sheet in this year's championship but in front of goal they are ruthless and very efficient. They won the last World Cup in Russia in 2018 and will be looking to replicate the same performance in their Qatar tour this year as they are the number one favorites to lift the trophy, alongside Brazil. They have only lost once in this tournament to Tunisia, as they fielded a second team since they had already qualified for the round of 16.

France have no injury concerns coming into this one, except that if Tchouameni and Kounde receive yellow cards they might miss the semi finals.
