Preview
Two countries who at one stage fought for a century over spurious claims to a throne go head to head in our final quarter-final. France come into this having swept aside Poland after a few early scares and with Kylian Mbappe leading the goalscoring charts at this tournament. England, meanwhile, topped their group with little fuss as well and similarly overcame some early scares to put the African champions to bed.
Winner's prize: A personal union over the loser semifinal against Morocco.
