FIFA World Cup 2022: Today’s match schedule and timings

France, the reigning World Cup champions are all set to go up against Poland. France was warned by coach Didier Deschamps not to underestimate their opponents in the knockout round on Sunday.

France managed to breeze through the group stage, only to clinch a sport in the round 16 with a game to spare. Nine substitutes started in the 1-0 loss to Tunisia, and Adrien Rabiot, Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele and Antonie Griezmann all came off the bench late in the game.

France, with fresh legs, are seen as the favorite to beath Poland and are the first defending World Cup Champion to reach the round of 16 since Brazil in 2006. France are 5-0 in the first knockout round since the stage was introduced to the World Cup in 1986.


England will also go up against Senegal in the FIFA World Cup last 16 on Sunday in Al Bayt, around 50 kilometers from Doha. Gareth Southgate's men will go into the match as favourites after scoring nine goals in the group stage.

So far, England has played a very good game, with a midfield and attack moving the ball at pace and exploiting the speed and mobility of Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, Mason Mount, Phil Foden and Marcus Rashford.

England will take an unbeaten record in seven matches against African nations into their game against Senegal.

Despite no head-to-head matches, there is some familiarity with Senegal that 10 of the players play club football in England and six of them in the Premier League.
