The Star-Studded World Cup Semifinals Kick Off with France vs. Spain
- On Tuesday, France and Spain meet in the World Cup semifinal at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, marking their first clash on soccer's biggest stage since 2006.
- This classic "unstoppable force meets immovable object" game pits France's potent attack, featuring 27-year-old forward Kylian Mbappé, against Spain's disciplined defense, which has conceded only one goal across six tournament matches.
- Spain's 19-year-old sensation Lamine Yamal, recovering from a hamstring injury, has scored only one goal despite putting 10 shots on target; France's Ousmane Dembele and Michael Olise have added five goals and five assists respectively to the attack.
- France coach Didier Deschamps, departing after 14 years in charge, seeks a third World Cup title, while Spanish coach Luis de la Fuente told reporters Monday his team must be "sharp and clinical in the boxes" to succeed.
- Both teams have won the World Cup in recent years—Spain in 2010, France in 2018—and a victory would position France to join Brazil and Germany as the only nations to reach three consecutive World Cup finals.
