FIFA’s top four seeds remain, and a blockbuster set of World Cup semifinals begins in Dallas as European behemoths France and Spain collide at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington City, USA.
The two pre-tournament favorites have delivered on their expectations this summer, with France purring from the get-go and Spain easing its way into the tournament in style.
La Roja’s capacity to keep its opponents at arm’s length via technical mastery in possession and telepathy without the ball means the team has conceded just one goal in North America, but its stellar defense will be put to the ultimate test by France’s Harlem Globetrotters-like attack.
Les Bleus are gunning to reach their third World Cup final in succession, having triumphed in 2018 and been involved the greatest final in the tournament‘s history last time out. Many suspect a France vs. Argentina rematch may be on the cards in New Jersey, but writing off the European champions here would be foolish.
Spain has beaten France in its previous two meetings, including a 2–1 victory in the semifinals of Euro 2024. La Roja’s triumph over a sluggish and uninspired Bleus outfit had seemingly represented a changing of the guard in European soccer, but France, two years on, is out to reassert itself as the continent‘s top dog once more.
Deschamps’s side ominously beat Morocco 2–0 in the quarterfinals without ever escaping second gear. Spain, meanwhile, was pegged back by Belgium before the inevitable Mikel Merino seized on a Senne Lammens error to thrust La Roja into the last four.
