William Gallas clear over England’s World Cup hopes with one-sided combined France XI

Only one of England's players would make the France starting XI, according to William Gallas.

The former Arsenal and Chelsea star, like many of his compatriots, is in confident mood ahead of the quarter-final meeting between the two rivals. England and France have not met in a major tournament for a decade but will square off on Saturday with a place in the last four at stake.

France, aiming to defend their World Cup title, have a star-studded squad from which to pick and Gallas believes only Declan Rice would make the cut for Les Blues. That means he has snubbed the likes of Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane and Phil Foden as he poured praise of Rice, who he cannot believe is still at West Ham.
