Seven years war, hundred years war, Napoleonic wars, Roy Keane v Brazil … expect more confrontation on Saturday night
It’s the defending champions, France, against the beaten Euro 2020 finalists, England, for a place in the World Cup semi-finals. Kick-off is at 7pm GMT; if it’s not over in 90 minutes extra time or possibly penalties could settle it – layering more jeopardy for fans of Lee Mack’s The 1% Club, due to follow on ITV1 at 9.30pm. Stars include Kylian Mbappé, Antoine Griezmann and the ex-Arsenal and Chelsea forward Olivier Giroud, France’s all-time top male goalscorer. His presence ensures another full night of unwanted Twitter notifications for Giroud’s TV lookalike, @Rylan: “I’m NOT Olivier Giroud. I’m not playing football today. thanks bye.”
