JAKARTA - Qatar's 2022 World Cup quarter-final big match will take place in the last ticket to the semifinals of this grand competition when England face France.
This duel makes football fans wait for the song It's Coming Home or Allez Les Bleus which will be heard louder around Al Bayt Stadium, Sunday, December 11, after the long whistle sounded.
The Three Lions beat Senegal three goals without reply to advance to the last eight. Meanwhile, France as defending champions beat Poland 3-1 to keep the title on.
A record three games without conceding in Qatar really supports England becoming a favorite in the duel this morning.
If they successfully steal victory over France, their tactician Gareth Southgate will be the first manager in the history to lead the team to reach more than one semifinal.
Previously, in the 2018 edition in Russia, England also went a long way into the last four before their trip ran aground after being sent home by Croatia, which was runner-up in the tournament.
However, being eliminated in the quarter-finals is common for England. In previous edition tournaments, they were recorded as being eliminated in this round in 1954, 1962, 1970, 1986, 2002, and 2006.
In addition, six of their eight records of being eliminated in the last World Cup actually occurred when they met opponents who were both from Europe.
On the other hand, France itself has successfully reached the World Cup quarter-finals five times from the last seven editions.
Three of the five tickets they even got from the three most recent tournaments.
Selain itu, tim Ayam Bagur juga tercatat menang sebanyak delapan kali dari 10 pertandingan sistem turun terakhir mereka melawan tim-tim sesama ketiunjangan Eropa.
However, Les Bleus is still without a clean sheet at the Qatar 2022 World Cup. Always conceded in three wins and lost a single goal against Tunisia.
They also lost their previous meetings with England in the tournaments in 1966 and 1982. It's just that the newer history is not in favor of the Three Lions, who can only win once in their last eight matches against France.
