He said: 'Very impressive again from England. Yes, we have not played a "major" team yet, but who else is doing this to the so-called lesser nations?
'You can only beat what is in front of you, but we are doing it extremely well.
'There is only one team I have seen that has impressed me more than England in this World Cup. Unfortunately, that team is France.'

The Paris Saint-Germain star is the top scorer at the World Cup with five goals, two clear of his closest competitors in the Golden Boot race, including team-mate Olivier Giroud, Lionel Messi, and England's Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka.
England went unbeaten in their group, beating Iran 6-2, Wales 3-0 either side of a 0-0 draw against the USA, while France beat Australia 4-1, Denmark 2-1 and then lost 1-0 against Tunisia when already qualified for the knockouts.
