Lloris was at fault in his first appearance since the World Cup final and Buendia profited. BOOST FOR FORESTNottingham Forest gave its Premier League survival hopes a boost with a 1-1 draw against Chelsea whose troubles on the road continued.

Harry Kane blazed a late penalty over the bar as England's World Cup dreams ended with a 2-1 defeat in the quarter-finals to defending champions France.

Morocco's upset of heavily-favored Portugal headlined Saturday's quarterfinal action at the World Cup in Qatar. Here's a complete rundown of Saturday's action.

That penalty chance came in the 84th minute and with England trailing 2-1 against the defending champions from France. It was the chance to get back on even terms, exactly 30 minutes after Kane had scored from that same penalty spot to make it 1-1. He scored four goals last year at Euro 2020, when England reached the final but lost to Italy in a penalty shootout. The second on Saturday was Kane’s 53rd goal for England, moving him into a tie with Wayne Rooney for the most goals scored for the national team. "We wouldn’t be here but for the number of goals he’s scored for us.”The penalties against France pitted Kane, a Tottenham striker, against Hugo Lloris, a Tottenham goalkeeper.

Once again, England fell short. But it felt like a step forward, to where England is not just one of the best-known nations in world soccer but also one of the most technically proficient.

The "World Cup Now" crew breaks down France's win vs. England and shares some of the biggest takeaways from Saturday's match.

France becomes the first defending World Cup champion to reach the semifinal round since Brazil 1998. France has now earned a spot in the final four seven times.

France will next face Morocco in the semifinals on Wednesday.

England dominated large portions of the game, but its brave effort was undone by not just the Kane miss – but a couple of unavoidable realities.

France defeated England 2-1. The road for the defending World Cup champions won't get any easier. France will take on Morocco in a semifinal match on Wednesday.

It was a pretty good World Cup debut for Jude Bellingham.

England's 6-2 thrashing of Iran on Monday placed even more importance on the United States’ subsequent clash with Wales.

England cruised to a 6-2 victory over Iran in the opening game of Group B as young stars Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka scored the Three Lions’ first two goals. You’ll notice the England barrage came without any goals from Harry Kane, the player most vital to England’s hopes of winning the World Cup for the first time since 1966. Goals from players other than Kane are what can make this England side so dangerous. England played with five at the back throughout most of its run to the Euro 2020 final a year ago and the preferred formation could be back against the United States on Friday.
