France vs England results : 2-1; Oliver Giroud's goal made France qualify for the semifinals.

The match for a place in the 2022 World Cup semifinals between England and France was fierce.

Having won 1-0 in the first half, the French supporters, who were expressing their joy, suddenly fell silent.

A penalty awarded to England in the second half changed the score.

England striker Harry Kane managed to score a penalty against France.

England received a penalty after Bukayo Saka was violated by Aurelien Tchouameni in the 53rd minute.

Harry Kane is believed to be the executioner.

He was able to carry out his duties well as the executor of 12 kicks in the 54th minute.

Kane's successful break into the French goal set a record for the England national team.

With 53 goals, Kane is now tied with Wayne Rooney as the sharpest footballer in the England national team.

However, France managed to rise.

In the 78th minute, it was Oliver Giroud's turn to break into the Three Lions goal.

Thus, the England vs. France match temporarily became 2-1.

France previously took the lead via Aurelien Tchouameni's kick (17').

It started when Aurelien Tchouameni received a short pass from Antoine Griezmann in the 17th minute.

Aurelien Tchouaameni then launched the ball into the English goal with a right-footed shot from outside the penalty box.

The ball from Aurelien Tchouameni's kick slid swiftly, so that England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford could not catch it.

The England vs. France match is still ongoing. France is currently leading 1-0 until the 20th minute.

Didier Deschamps knows that England have been impressive and have yet to lose during the 2022 World Cup.

He also reminded his team that speed would be key for Les Bleus to tame Gareth Southgate's squad.

"Speed is often key." "A fast team usually means that the opponent doesn't have much time to organize attacks," said Didier Deschamps, quoted by BolaSport.com from ESPN.

"However, to score goals, one must not only be fast."

"You can stop a lot of things, but stopping fast players is very difficult, especially in transition."

"England is strong in transition." More than half of their goals have come on the break."

"However, they also have other qualities, such as technical ability and the capacity to score goals and execute set-pieces," said Deschamps again.

Deschamps also responded to the words of the English right-back, Kyle Walker, who anticipated the movement of the French mainstay striker, Kylian Mbappe.

The 55-year-old coach is optimistic that Kylian Mbappe will find a way out amidst the tight defense of the Three Lions.

"I believe England is ready to meet Kylian, but Kylian can make a difference." "Even when he's not at his best, he's still the winner," said Deschamps.

"France also has other players who can harm England," Deschamps added.

In a separate interview, the French goalkeeper, Hugo Lloris, said he and the Les Bleus players, who play in the Premier League, were ready to provide information to Deschamps.

In total, apart from Lloris, who plays for Tottenham Hotspur, there are five players in the French squad who play for Premier League clubs.

"Some of us play and train every day with English players. "If we can help with what we know, we will do it," said Lloris.

England is good at set pieces. "Their players are tall, and there are many who can take free kicks very well."

"France must appear strong, but our front line has great ability, which makes it difficult for England," Lloris continued.

Number of matches: 31

England: 17 wins

Draw: 5 times

France: 9 wins

Last meeting: June 13, 2017. France won 3-2 in an international trial match.

On the French side, they were missing Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema because he suffered a thigh injury before the tournament started.

Olivier Giroud is predicted to be the spearhead for France against England.

The former Arsenal and Chelsea striker broke France's all-time goalscoring record with his 52nd goal against Poland, surpassing Thierry Henry's record (51).

Meanwhile, Raheem Sterling, who missed England's win over Senegal following a robbery at his home in Surrey, is doubtful.

because he is currently returning to England and is not expected to be involved in the war against France.

Launching the Evening Standard, Southgate explained: "At the moment, obviously, the priority for him is to be with his family."

"We'll support that and let him have as much time as he needs."

"Sometimes football is not the most important thing, and family has to come first."

Ben White (Arsenal defender) previously left the England squad to return home due to personal reasons.
