WIZ001 Posted 2 hours ago #1 Posted 2 hours ago The starting XIs are in for the quarterfinal, and there are a couple of surprises on the team sheet. France (4-3-3): Maignan; Kounde, Upamecano, Saliba, Digne; Koné, Rabiot; Dembélé, Olise, Doué; Mbappé. Notably, Deschamps has gone with Koné and Rabiot in a two-man midfield rather than a more defensive setup, and Doué gets the nod over Barcola in the front three alongside Mbappé and Dembélé. Morocco (4-3-3 mirrored): Bono; Salah-Eddine, Mazraoui, Diop, Hakimi; El Aynaoui, Bouaddi; El Khannouss, Ounahi, Talbi; Diaz. The bigger story is up front — with Saibari already ruled out, Morocco haven't turned to Rahimi (who'd stepped up well in his absence against Canada) but instead started Diaz as the central striker, flanked by El Khannouss and Ounahi rather than a recognized winger.
