From the outset, we knew England had a shot at World Cup glory in Qatar. And so far, they have only reaffirmed it.
Their first game against Iran was a tour de force where the English side feasted on goals and made their intentions clear: they’re here to win, and they have the squad to achieve it.
On that occasion, Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka (x2), Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford, and Jack Grealish scored the six winning goals in the 6-2 victory over the Iranian team, who, no matter how hard they tried, could not keep up.
In the next match, they faced the United States, who proved to be a formidable opponent that managed to stop the English fury and cause a few unexpected headaches. In this match, both teams would leave the game in a scoreless draw.
The third opponent in the group stage was Wales, a team that only managed a draw and was eliminated. The Lions did their job in this match, beating them 3-0 with goals from Marcus Rashford and the World Cup debutant, Phil Foden.
Now, the English side heads into England vs Senegal with a lot of confidence. Not only have they had a great run through the early stages, but they also arrive with a depth of talent to be envied, with 11 world-class starters and substitutes that could very well form another top team.

Heading into the 2022 World Cup, one of the main concerns for Senegal was the absence of their top scorer and star player, Sadio Mané. Prior to the start of the competition, he was announced to be out of the squad due to injuries. However, they have shown that they are more than just a one-trick pony.
In their first match, which took place on the second day of the tournament, they faced the Netherlands in a match where they lost 0-2. It should be noted that they had held the score 0-0 until the 84th minute when the first goal was scored, and they continued to put up a tough battle right into the 9 minutes of extra time.
The second duel was against 2022 World Cup host Qatar, whom they would end up beating 3-1 after warning them from the first half and sentencing them in the second half. The goals were scored by Boulaye Dia, Famara Diédhiou, and Bamba Dieng.
In their third and decisive match to qualify for the next round, they had to play against the other candidate to go through, Ecuador, a team that had been having an excellent World Cup campaign. The match was quite even, and for a few minutes, they were tied. Kalidou Koulibaly would be the hero who would score the decisive goal, with the first coming off a penalty shot by Ismaila Sarr, thus ending the match 2-1.
In England vs Senegal they will be facing one of the hot favorites to win the World Cup. They must arrive with a cool head and keep their composure.
