England vs France Qatar 2022 World Cup Quarterfinal Analysis
What a clash this is going to be after watching their performances on Sunday! These two teams really are something to play against in this World Cup. Too bad one of them will be going home. Respect to both French & England boys. What a performance.
The cross-Channel rivals, England and France, finally meet in the knockout round of the World Cup following their round of 16 victories over Senegal and Poland respectively.
England vs France history
This will be only the second meeting at a World Cup between these two European superpower nations, and the first since 1982.
They have met twice before in the tournament, with England winning both times, but those were group stage matches without the jeopardy of World Cup survival on the line.
Gareth Southgate’s side will need to take their performance up a level given some of the problems Africa Cup of Nations winners Senegal were able to cause in a first half that ended with a quickfire England double.
How can England STOP Kylian Mbappé from scoring and winning his second world cup?
England vs France Qatar 2022 World Cup Quarterfinal
Both teams are very similar in how they approach the game. Both have pragmatic managers who prefer to keep defensive first. They both have the ability to hit you with Quick counters with their talented individual players
The key to this matchup will be which team establishes their tempo first. It’s rare for both teams to play from behind. The team that scores first will be able to impose their biggest strength – hit back with quick counters when the opposition pushes higher to try to score.
When is England vs France?
The match will be the last of the four quarter-finals to be played – taking place on Saturday, December 10.
France has had some defensive worries mainly at RB but to be honest England doesn’t really have much of an edge, their midfield is about the same or you could make the argument France’s a little better.
Griezmann, Tchouameni, and Rabiot have had a great World Cup. Tchoumeni has been one of, if not the best midfielder in this World Cup so far.
Greizman has been amazing. He is so good at transitioning the play from defense to attack in an instant, and he has been good defensively too. Defensively, they both have had scars and for England is Maguire and for France Kounde who isn’t a natural RB.
In attack, France has the better attack but England has a better bench. This is a close game and I can’t wait for it.
People are taking England seriously as a very very hard rival, it’s gonna be a great game and may the best team wins.
World Cup 2022: How to follow England’s quarter-final with France
You can listen and follow that quarter-final tie live across the BBC. Here’s everything you need to know before the game.
England has impressed in Qatar, but now it gets very serious. Kylian Mbappe and defending champions France are up next in the quarterfinals.
The French cantered into the final eight with a 3-1 victory over Poland, largely thanks to an Mbappe performance that will terrify England fans: two phenomenal goals and a smart assist for Olivier Giroud.
However, England are the tournament’s top-scoring team and comfortably beat Senegal to progress, 3-0.

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.

Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
