it's up against france, but so far so very good for the english. the question in this woke up for england as ever for, for england that the world cups is how they're going to handle the pressure. at the end of the tournament, it's been their wake link as to how they take penalties and how they'd take on the big quarters, semi finals, and so on. they did, however, my dear 2022, it's final. so this tournament, and in general it from that 30000 feet view. the train for england has been heading up. okay, now england play france in the quarter finals. how has france done so far? it's been had the judge, france 13 neil: they they, they going great. but like england playing synagogue, france, they didn't really get tested bipolar and thought it's a bit hard to know exactly where they are. what we do know about francis they strike force and as are reported, looked fantastic. jerusalem for really good and bad. i looked amazing. and that's the reminder from that game is that they have a play in

a 23 year old. they could change any game at the drop of a hat. you don't pay attention in for 2 minutes. and the english world capturing could be over. he's that good. he's that fast and he's in that uniform right at the moment. so both things could do anything in terms of scoring. it's going to be about the fences i think with now got 4 days to white for an absolute classic and they haven't played each other at a woke up since 1982. interesting to see how the english tabloids preview a game against the french. all right, and now i'm looking. oh and he's got japan co 83 and the power house is brazil. yes . now would is that name? i will be back from injury the 1st time he's been seen since the 1st guy in the tournament facing the fascinating to say if that's the case. and if the south koreans test him physically, that's not always been their game. but that's what's required. you would think this time coming back from injury and now the brazil can be among the favorites. but how that thing functions with

a superstar back in the front half. that's going to be really interested. interesting to see crow, i should play japan and not a fascinating guy. and that on looking forward to japan of been a great 2nd half team in this tournament, christ of we're final a said the last world cup and carry the swagger this posture of a team who just trust each other. when the pressure is on a really great experience, they fantastic match up against japan. i know i said every day, but monday should be great viewing, looking forward to it and see how it found. d, w thought, thank you. thank you. and their faith matters is coming up with the world cup him to talk exactly 14 to do version in 40 because we are here for you with report.
