This Saturday, the France team faces England in the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup. With stars in each selection, this meeting is a clash between two historic rivals.
An opposition described as being a final before its time.
The winner of this match will face Portugal or Morocco in the next round.
Who from France or England will emerge victorious from the clash of the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup?
Surprisingly, these two historical rivals have never been opposed in a knockout match.
Two formations studded with stars to such an extent that it is difficult to designate a favorite.
A final before the letter, as the most English of the French, Arsène Wenger, recently confided.
Within the world champions, three executives play or have played in England.

"A great game to watch"
Hugo Lloris, who tonight will become the most capped player in the history of the Blues, Raphaël Varane and Olivier Giroud who spent nearly 10 years in London alongside Arsenal and Chelsea.
The top French scorer will find old knowledge in defense and expects a big battle.
"Very tough and intense. They are players against whom I have played a lot of games. I am very impatient in any case to find this English team. I am convinced that it will be a great game to watch", declares the striker of the French team.
From the show, no doubt.
But as often against the English, it is the result that will prevail.
The Blues have never beaten the players at the Three Lions in the World Cup.
Several duels will be scrutinized and could make the difference.
Like the one between Kylian Mbappé, untenable, and Kyle Walker, the formidable defender of Manchester City.
After 90, 120 minutes or even the penalty shootout, only one country will play the semi-finals.
The other will just have to pack his bags.
The winner of this meeting will face, in the last four, Morocco or Portugal, who face each other this Saturday at 4 p.m.
