France has performed surprisingly well so far in this tournament. Despite the absence of some of their key players such as Benzema and Pogba, the younger players have managed to keep the team balance intact. And now Kylian Mbappé has emerged as the top scorer in this edition of the world cup, with 5 goals to his name. It is going to be very difficult for England to win this match against France. England looked like they are in good shape during the group stage and PQF, but their team balance is not as good as France.
Yep. France performed very well so far, it is what people expected. Sure, it is actually not very surprising because France is the winner of the world cup tournament previously (2018). By the way, they have no problem with the absence of Benzema and Pogba. France has many top attackers and they have Rabiot to replace Pogba's role in the midfield line. France's current squad is more than enough to defeat England team, even there are some top players who sit on the bench because of too many top players in France squad. 
The quarter final match between England and France is going to be the toughest match in that stage. It is very difficult to predict the outcome of this match, as both the teams are of approximately equal strength. It is just surprising that France is performing so well, despite the injury to some of their key players. And despite the injury pull-outs, a number of talented players are still resting on bench. Kylian Mbappé is still the top-scorer after the end of the second round with 5 goals. Olivier Giroud from France is second with 3 goals. For England, Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka have scored 3 goals each.
