England's rat-tat-tat sharpshooters go big game hunting for the hide of the world champions no less come Saturday night's fight to the death.
Twelve goals scored in four World Cup matches, three actually as the other ended goalless, provides an unexpected deluge of optimism as the heir apparent to the crown of the world's best player, Kylian Mbappe, prepares to lead France into an awesome head to head.
Add three successive clean sheets and a titanic collision with the holders leaves no Englishman overawed. This match is of a different level to what has gone before of course but then we are now at the business end of proceedings.
