England and France will meet for the 32nd time in their almost 100-year rivalry on Saturday, but rarely have the stakes been higher with a World Cup semifinal on the line.

The near-neighbors go head-to-head at the Al Bayt Stadium as two of the in-form sides in Qatar, knowing that they are 90 minutes away from making the last four of the tournament.

England came through Group B unbeaten, before breezing past Senegal in the Round of 16 to set up this clash. France, meanwhile, have been equally ruthless — with a simple win over Poland in their first knockout test offering a clear warning to the other sides in their half of the draw.

As well as the tactical battle between coaches Gareth Southgate and Didier Deschamps, this one also promises to be a clash of superstars. England have their talismans, like Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, but most of the attention is likely to be on Kylian Mbappe.

The France speedster has been scintillating so far in Qatar, scoring five goals to top the Golden Boot scoring charts.

His individual battle with Kyle Walker, if fit for England, is likely to be one of the standout clashes that decide the outcome.

Here's how you can watch all the action on TV and via stream online in Canada.
