The second set of quarterfinal matchups is just about set at the 2022 World Cup. England is rolled over Senegal on Sunday afternoon, leading the Round of 16 match 3-0 midway through the second half. Barring a historic collapse, the Three Lions will advance to the quarterfinals.
Once this is official, England will now face France with a spot in the semifinals on the line. The match will take place next Saturday, December 10 at Al Bayt Stadium. It will kick off at 2 p.m. ET and air on FOX.
The Three Lions and Les Bleus have an extensive history in international soccer. They’ve played 31 times over the years and England leads the all-time series 17-5-9.

France won the last match 3-2 while England won the previous 2-0.
