England on Saturday night, December 10, 2022, crashed out of the FIFA Qatar 2022 World Cup after losing 1-2 to defending champions France in the last quarter-final match of the tournament.

The Three Lions went behind in 17 minutes when Tchouameni’s fierce shot after a Griezmann assist beat England goalkeeper Pickford.

England leveled up shortly on the restart when Harry Kane scored from the spot in the 54th minute after mesmerizing Bukayo Saka was brought down in the vital area.

However, old warhorse Olivier Giroud restored France’s lead in the 78th minute following an assist from Griezmann.

The Three Lions had a golden opportunity to even scores  when

England deal with the corner but France are quick to shift the ball wide left. Antoine Griezmann gets the ball out of his feet and whips a superb cross for Olivier Giroud to meet ahead of Harry Maguire. Pickford has no chance and England have it all to do again.

Kane stepped up but couldn’t beat Hugo Lloris a second time from the spot but rather fired high over the bar – thus wasting the kick earned by Mount after he was fouled by Theo Hernandez in the 18-yard box.

France will now face Morocco, who shocked Portugal earlier, in semi-finals.
