DOHA (Reuters) - France midfielder Youssouf Fofana is confident that striker Kylian Mbappe will have the last laugh against England in their quarter-final on Saturday after Kyle Walker said he would not let the striker stand in the way of his World Cup ambitions.

The battle between England right back Walker and France's top scorer Mbappe could be key to the outcome of the first encounter between the teams in the knockout phase of a major tournament.
