England
The tournament path of the England national team at this tournament is full of mostly bright colors. In the four matches she played, she scored 3 major victories. At the group stage, the national teams of Iran (6:2) and Wales (3:0) were declassified, although between these meetings Gareth Southgate's team played in a pale draw with the US national team (0:0). In the 1/8 finals, the British continued to play with excitement, dismantling the Senegal national team (3:0).
France
The French national team started with two victories at the group stage, defeating the Australian national team first (4:1), after which it was difficult to put the squeeze on the Danish team (2:1). When the first place in the group was actually secured, the "tricolor" allowed themselves to play as a second team and lose to the Tunisian national team (0:1). But it didn't really affect the confidence and playing tone of Didier Deschamps' team, so in the 1/8 finals the Polish national team was beaten without any problems (3:1).

Forecast
An extremely difficult match in terms of predicting the outcome. Both teams have great players, each of whom is able to become the hero of the meeting. But there should definitely be a lot of heads here. The French did not miss the last time in an official match back in November last year, while the British are scoring a lot now. At the same time, the British themselves are not all right in defense. The level of the defenders of the "three lions" is quite high, but in terms of maximum speed, these guys have problems, but the French have a lot of very fast players who are able to use their advantage.
