England reached the knockout stage of the Under-20 World Cup with a 3-2 win over Uruguay on May 25, living up to expectations as one of the title favourites at the tournament.
France's chances are in dire trouble, though, after its 2-1 loss to Gambia and the 2-2 draw between South Africa and Honduras, a result that made it impossible for the French squad to finish in one of the top two spots in Group F.
Unbeaten Gambia has six points and will progress to the Round of 16. France, after back-to-back defeats, needs to win its last group game against Honduras to have any chance of advancing as one of the four best third-place teams.
