England vs Senegal Match Preview and Team News
England
England’s performance vs. the USA in their second group game was an embarrassing one. The Three Lions were booed off the pitch and lacked both passion and precision in a scoreless draw. Gareth Southgate’s decision to leave in Mason Mount for as long as he did was questioned as he had Phil Foden waiting on the bench. Still, England was in pole position to win the group, with four points. Heading into the Wales game, Southgate made four changes to the starting XI that paid dividends. Foden replaced Bukayo Saka in the lineup, and Marcus Rashford came in for left winger Raheem Sterling. Jordan Henderson also slotted into central midfield in place of Mason Mount, and Kyle Walker replaced Kieran Trippier at right back. Rashford managed to score a brace vs. Wales, and one of them was on a stunning free kick. Phil Foden is the engine of this team, his greatest virtue is speed, he has excellent ball control and can be satisfied with his performance. Raheem Sterling plays excellently, he is fast in the one-on-one game, and he is unstoppable.
Senegal
After a 2-0 loss to the Netherlands in their opening match, it looked likely that Senegal’s World Cup would end early. Missing their best player Sadio Mane and needing to pick up points in both their games seemed to be a mountain to climb. Aliou Cissé’s side made great headway when they defeated Qatar 3-1 in their second match but likely needed a win over Ecuador to advance. The Lions of Teranga put on a gutsy performance in the group stage finale to send Ecuador packing and qualify for their first round of 16 since 2002. Ismaila Sarr was excellent on Monday and opened up the scoring in the 44th minute with a calmly taken penalty. Ecuador’s Moises Caicedo equalized in the second half, but Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly scored a 70th-minute go-ahead goal. Senegal held tight defensively and held on for a remarkable 2-1 win. They finished in second place in the Group A standings, but they’ll be missing one of their key players in the round of 16. Ismaila Sarr is a guy who causes a lot of problems for the opponent on the left side. He is fast and unstoppable in a one-on-one game. The bench players are expected to show as much as possible and impose themselves on the coach for the starting lineup.
