From the moment Phil Foden registered his second assist of the night for England, setting up Bukayo Saka for the third goal against Senegal, attention had turned to France in the quarter-finals.
Gareth Southgate replaced some more important players for the last half-hour against Senegal, and all post-match chat concerned France. Within that, the main question emerged of how will England stop Kylian Mbappe.
The French striker has five goals at the World Cup already, leading the Golden Boot contenders and he looked unstoppable in their last-16 win over Poland. Luckily for England, they can count upon four Manchester City players who know exactly how Mbappe can be marked out of a game.
