Could England's fair play record give them an advantage?
England v France (19:00 GMT)

England's fair play record may prove useful going into their quarter-final tie with France. None of Southgate's players have been booked across the four games in the tournament so far, meaning they are less at risk of suspension.
Fifa's rules for the World Cup set out that players will receive a one-match ban if they are shown two separate yellow cards across the group stage, as well as the last 16 and quarter-finals.
Two yellow cards in the same game, of course, will also result in a one match ban, as would a straight red card.
French midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni picked up a booking against Poland, whilst defender Jules Kounde was given a yellow against Denmark. With the threat of potentially missing the semi-finals, could that limit their freedom on Saturday?
Didier Deschamps swatted that aside, saying France "would not play with the handbrake on".

It suddenly got very exciting.
Morocco are halfway to becoming the first African team to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup.
A sweeping ball comes in from the left, goalkeeper Diogo Costa races off his line but Youssef En-Nesryi beats him to it and heads powerfully into the net.
Lift-off for Morocco.

'It would be silly to overly focus on France'

Ousmane Dembele is lightning quick for France. He's been playing brilliantly for Barcelona. You've got to be careful not to see them as a one-man team, although Kylian Mbappe is the best player in the world in my opinion.
Olivier Giroud keeps scoring goals. We've taken him for granted over the years since he played in England but he is a handful. But I see so much attacking quality and options for England, it would be silly to overly focus on France.
Kyle Walker has played against Mbappe many times and not struggled. Hopefully we are well-equipped.

Winner of England v France will be champions

Former England striker Wayne Rooney has previewed England's quarter-final against France in his latest Times column.
He says whoever wins will go on to win the tournament.
"Before the tournament started I fancied Argentina but while Lionel Messi has been incredible, as a team they don't quite seem good enough," writes Rooney.
I just think that, physically and as collectives, England and France are better sides.
"It's going to be incredibly close, a tough game for both sides, an occasion where focus and concentration has to be of the highest level in every player.
"It's the kind of match that will be won on small details - a mistake by an individual or a bit of magic from someone or a break of the ball or a set piece."

Wow. Almost an instant reply from Portugal.
Bruno Fernandes steadies himself for a cross, he unleahes it across goal and it flies over Yassine Bounou but bounces back off the bar.
