France advanced to the semifinal of the 2026 World Cup after a 2:0 victory over Morocco in Foxborough. The reigning world runners-up have reached the last four for the third consecutive time, with Kylian Mbappé scoring his eighth goal of the tournament and Ousmane Dembélé adding a fifth. SITA ↗
Although Mbappé failed to convert a penalty kick in the match, another goal brought him level with Lionel Messi in the tournament's scoring standings. After the match, he calmed concerns about his ankle, as reports indicated he had received a kick, but it was not a more serious problem. France's offense was widely praised after the win over Morocco as the main strength of Didier Deschamps's team. teraz.sk ↗
Ahead of the semifinal, attention is shifting to France's clash with Spain. Several articles highlight the duel between Mbappé and Lamin Yamal, who two years ago called the French captain his idol but will now be his opponent. Spain, meanwhile, enters the match with a solid defense and goalkeeper Unai Simón. dennikn.sk ↗
Alongside the sporting side, discussion continues about racist remarks directed at the French team. Following a Paraguayan senator, former Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy also caused outrage after reportedly questioning the French identity of the national team's players. Regarding Bradley Barcola and Michael Olise, the newly available annotations provide no separate information. Further developments will be revealed in the semifinal, in which France will fight for a place in the final. Index.hu ↗
