England will face France in the FIFA World Cup quarter finals this weekend. A first competitive meeting since 2012 could have huge bearings as to who goes on to lift the coveted trophy in Qatar.
Before England stormed to victory at the Al Bayt Stadium last night, France put on their own stellar display 46 kilometres away at the Al Thumama Stadium to comfortably brush Poland aside 3-1.
Former Arsenal and Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud made history when opening the scoring, moving clear of Thierry Henry to become Les Bleus’ all-time leading goalscorer, whilst danger man Kylian Mbappé scored his fourth and fifth goals of the tournament in the second half.
