With all due respect to the other 1/4 finals couples, this is the most anticipated match of the World Cup quarterfinals.
Two national teams aiming to win the gold trophy. England reached the quarter-finals quite easily. After the rhapsody in the first game and the victory over Iran 6:2, they played a much weaker match against the USA that ended without goals, so coach Gareth Southgate received a lot of criticism for the selection of players and the management of his team. In the last match of the group against Wales, he made a determination to correction in the team, which resulted in a routine 3:0 victory in the second half and won the first position in the group. Manchester City player Phill Foden, one of the most talented players on this team, finally got a chance to show what he knows, and he responded with a well-played match and a goal. Then came the 1/8 finals match against Senegal, in which England started a bit slowly so the opponent was the better team in the first 20 minutes, but after the first goal scored by the English squad, the question of the winner was solved. Again, Foden was excellent with two assists, and goals were scored by Henderson, Saka, and captain Kane.
On the other hand, France reached the quarterfinals as the first in its group with 6 points won, the same as Australia, but with a much better goal difference. The 1:0 defeat in the last match of the group against Tunisia did not shake them, so in the 1/8 finals match against Poland, they showed their magnificent talent and quality and routinely won the match in their favor with a score of 3:1. Mbappe once again excelled with 2 goals and has already reached the figure of 9 scored goals in the World Cups
England vs France pick: OVER 2.5 GOALS
These national teams have a rich history of mutual matches, but it is interesting that this will be their first match since the one at Euro 2012, which ended with a score of 1:1. So far, they have met twice at WC and England won in both matches back in 1966 and 1982. At the Euro, however, France has much more success, where they have not lost to England even in 6 matches. These teams are loaded with talent and I expect a very interesting and high-quality match. The stakes are high, but I don't think that will stop the players from showing their best performances
Some logic tells me that Southgate could start this match with 5 players in the back line, which would double the defenders in an attempt to slow down Kylian Mbappe, but the question is how much he wants to give up his tactics that have brought results so far. France has certain deficiencies in the defensive midfield in the absence of Kante because the young Tchouameni is not that quality, but for now, his teammates cover him brilliantly. I think we could see at least one goal in the first 20 minutes, and that would be great because we would be watching a much better and more open match. The odds for over 2.5 goals are pretty good.

England Team News
Rahim Sterling and Ben White missed England's last matches due to personal problems. And while for White it is certain that he will not return to the team, for Sterling there is a chance. His house was robbed and because of the attack on his family, he had to return to the island urgently. England has a lot of capacity on the bench, so even in case of his absence, there should be no problem.
Star of the Team — Harry Kane
The star of the team is captain Harry Kane, who needs only one goal to equal Wayne Rooney on the list of the best scorers in the history of the national team. Kane has scored 294 goals so far for Tottenham and is already a legend of this club
England coach — Gareth Southgate
Gareth Southgate is leading the national team at the third major competition, and his best result is second place at the last EURO. Southgate is also a well-known former player who, in addition to 57 appearances for England, played for Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Middlesbrough.

France Team News
In the first match against Australia, Lucas Hernandez suffered a serious knee injury and he will have to recover from the injury for several months. Apart from them, everyone else is healthy and no change is expected compared to the previous match against Poland
Star of the team — Kylian Mbappe
All eyes will be on Kylian Mbappe, who before his 24th birthday already scored 9 goals at the World Cup, breaking the record of the legendary Pele. Mbappe is probably the fastest player in the world and another World Champion title would bring him the status of a legend
France coach — Didier Deschamps
Didier Deschamps has been sitting on the bench of this national team for 10 years and his greatest success as a coach is of course the World Champion title from the previous championship. Deschamps also has the title of world champion with France as a player and is therefore one of the greatest in the world of football.
