Rundown of Sunday’s Round of 16 World Cup matches
December 4, 2022
Rundown on Sunday’s two World Cup Round of 16 matches:
France vs. Poland, 10 a.m., FS1
Defending World Cup champion France, led by dynamic striker Kylian Mbappe, was the first team to advance to the knockout stage, with Group D wins over Australia and Denmark, before resting several regulars in a loss to Tunisia. Poland defeated Saudi Arabia and drew with Mexico to finish second to Argentina in Group C.
Senegal vs. England, 2 p.m., FS1
Gareth Southgate and England sandwiched wins over Iran and Wales around a scoreless draw against the U.S. to finish atop Group B.
About 1,000 percent of the pressure is on the Brits, and not Senegal, which advanced out of Group A with two wins despite the absence of injured star Sadio Mane.
