There were a lot of expectations aroundEngland and France for their World Cup quarterfinal, and they didn’t disappoint. In the end, Les Bleus had the upper hand and set up a meeting with Morocco at the Qatar 2022 semifinals.
It was certainly a heartbreaking result for the Three Lions, whose lack of accuracy proved costly. Gareth Southgate‘s men created the most chances, but France’s ruthlessness left them empty-handed.
Harry Kane will probably have a hard time trying to forget this game. Though he had a great performance, the only thing many will remember is that he missed a crucial penalty kick with his team trailing by one. It was a huge blow for the Tottenham star, while it sparked ecstasy in Kylian Mbappe.
