With Harry Kane back on the scoring list, with a magical Jude Bellingham in midfield and with a greased and competitive block, England return after beating Senegal (3-0) with goals from Kane himself, Jordan Henderson and Bukayo Saka to the group favorites and sights a nice showdown against France in the quarter finals.
England, the only team in the tournament to go undefeated alongside Morocco, sees itself as a candidate, having joined Kane, already away from ankle problems and fatigue, as Bellingham opposes the best young player and best player of the tournament and because of his effort in this tournament is far beyond his history. The twelve goals to date exceed those of 1966 (champion) and equal those of 2018 (semi-finalist). And there are still games ahead.
England flourishes.

Gareth Southgate’s controversial group had no major problem getting past a very poor Senegal, who barely held off the challenge for the first few minutes, when indeed they had some good chances to take the lead. A straight miss from Sarr and a one-on-one from Dia saving Pickford instilled fear in the body of the English, who shrugged off their dominance by exploiting the weak Sabaly’s left flank.
That’s where Kane found a sieve, again in his role as a catalyst and not a finisher. After half an hour, the ‘9’ plus ’10’ from England got a heel shot from Foden from the band. He mastered the leather and almost without raising his head he knew how to see the piece. Long ball for Bellingham and a ‘made in Holland’ goal. Go back and finish to Henderson’s pleasure.
