The Englishman Harry Kane, who became a potential scorer for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, should score in the quarterfinals against Sweden.

England will face Sweden in the semifinal at the Samara Arena, Russia, on 7-23 pm. The two countries have not been in the semifinals for a long time. England is the last to finish fourth in the 1990 World Cup in Italy. Sweden has not reached the quarter-finals after finishing third in the 1994 World Cup. FIFA rankings are based on FIFA's standings in this World Cup, where only England (Brazil, Belgium, France) survived the 12th and Sweden finished 24th in the FIFA rankings.

England and Sweden are spears and shields. England has scored nine goals in the group stage and in 16 rounds. Sweden, on the other hand, only gave up two goals in four matches until the group stage and the 16th round.

In the heart of England, football is attacked by Kane. Kane, who scored six goals in the first half-season with a hat trick in Panama, beat Romel Lukaku of Belgium in second. Jesse Lingard, Rahim Sterling and others are also building a strong attack against England. But Jamie Bardy is out of the picture. The body suffered a groin injury in the knockout stages of Colombia. It is reported that they have not been able to digest the team training properly from Colombia.

Sweden, who belonged to Group F with Korea, is 2-1, 2-1, 2-1 in the group stage. Until then, Sweden seemed to have lost the group stage. It was expected mainly that it would be difficult to overtake Mexico, which had broken with Germany and South Korea. However, Sweden beat Mexico 3-0. He was 2-in-1 and 6-in-6 to lead the F-16s. Sweden beat Switzerland 1-0 in the round of 16. It was not an overwhelming victory this time either. However, he defended Switzerland with a good lead. The game called "Counterattack after player rain" was a brilliant light. Sweden will play against the English side before. Andreas Grankvist, a defensive defenseman with a big head centered on good physical conditions, blocks offensive opponents. After defeating the opponent with a defensive defense, he does not miss the chance and the attacks. Emil Forsberg and Ola Toibonen are responsible for the attack in Sweden, where Zlatan Ibrahimovic disappeared
