As England and France prepare to face off against each other in a hotly-anticipated World Cup quarter-final, the French football coach has spoken highly of the talented Three Lions today: “Weak points? They don’t have any, that’s clear,” said Didier Deschamps. It’s an indication of just how close tomorrow’s game between the highest-ranked European sides left in the World Cup is likely to be. Deschamps’ side – the reigning champions – will head into the match as the favourite, but by a small margin: bookies give France a 40.3% chance of winning, ahead of England’s 32.4%.
