Match Highlights: :fr: France 3-1 :poland: Poland

A few topsy-turvy moments for both France and Poland in the FIFA World Cup Round of 16 match but it was Olivier Giroud who eventually put Les Bleus in front.

In the process, Giroud also became France’s all-time top-scorer, overtaking Thierry Henry who had 51 goals to his name.

In the second-half, Kylian Mbappe doubled France’s lead with his 4th goal of the tournament. Mbappe doubled the lead with a terrific strike in the top-corner to make it 3-0 for France.

A late Robert Lewandowski penalty saw Poland salvage some pride but it’s France who qualified for the quarter-finals.

Match Highlights: :england: England 3-0 :senegal: Senegal

Goals from Jordan Henderson, Kane and Bukayo Saka sealed England’s berth in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. England will meet defending champions France in the quarter-final stage of the Qatar World Cup.

Free-scoring England extended their unbeaten record against African teams with a 3-0 victory over Senegal on Sunday which included a first goal at this World Cup from captain Harry Kane as they set up a quarter-final clash with holders France.

England’s goalfest in Qatar - 12 so far - equals their previous best World Cup total at Russia 2018 when they made the semi-finals. They scored 11 in winning the world title in 1966.

He’s gone back to England to check on his families well-being and will return to the squad if the circumstances are right.

:rotating_light: For this 2022 World Cup, TV audiences have collapsed heavily in Europe compared to 2018!

54 million Europeans watched the first match of their national team during this World Cup, 40 million less than in 2018. :fearful:
