The teams are IN as France take on Spain in tonight’s first World Cup semi-final. France XI: Maignan; Kounde, Saliba, Upamecano, Digne; Tchouameni, Rabiot; Dembele, Olise, Barcola; Mbappe. Spain XI: Simon; Porro, Cubarsi, Laporte, Cucurella; Rodri, Ruiz; Yamal, Olmo, Baena; Oyarzabal.

against Argentina with an early goal from Yasser Ibrahim. The 33-year-old central defender scored an outstanding header to put his side in the lead 15 minutes into the match. Argentina survived a scare against Cape Verde in the last round of the competition, and they will certainly not want to be in that position again. There is no doubt that they have an exceptional team, and it remains to be seen whether they can fight back quickly.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has hinted that there could be a bank holiday to celebrate if England win the World Cup this summer. The Three Lions are through to the quarter-finals, where they’ll take on Norway this weekend, and Starmer said he wasn’t too keen on possibly jinxing it, though he wouldn’t rule out a bank holiday.

France make it three consecutive World Cup semi-finals and they did it in typically dominant fashion. Les Bleus entered the match having won all five of their previous games in regular time while netting 14 goals, and Morocco were always going to need something special to stop them. The first half was a tale of Bono heroics. The Moroccan goalkeeper produced save after save to keep it goalless, including denying Mbappe’s penalty on the stroke of half-time, the Frenchman’s effort lacking the power to beat the stopper!

Spain’s semi-final dream was nearly derailed in the most dramatic fashion, but once again it was Mikel Merino who came off the bench to rescue La Roja in the dying moments. Fabian Ruiz gave Spain the lead on 30 minutes, converting the rebound after Courtois could only parry Dani Olmo’s low effort but Belgium hit back almost immediately before the break. De Ketelaere got across Pau Cubarsi brilliantly to head home from Castagne’s cross, becoming the first team to breach Spain’s defence all tournament after 694 minutes without conceding. Belgium started without captain Youri Tielemans, who suffered an injury during warmup, and then lost Courtois to a thigh injury replaced by Senne Lammens.

Spain manager Luis de la Fuente has been effusive in his praise of Cristiano Ronaldo before his side face off against Portugal in their Round of 16 clash. “I am a self-declared admirer of Cristiano, of people like him. He has character and is tireless; a model of values. I take my hat off to him. It is not just the legacy he is leaving behind, but the one he is yet to create. You have to keep a close eye on him in any situation. It is not necessarily about man-marking him, but you must be aware of him wherever he is on the pitch.”

Alan Shearer has been among the pundits to heap praise onto an “incredible” performance for England. Harry Kane and Declan Rice also responded to the result as they admitted this was up there with the best nights they’d experienced as players.
