France advanced to the World Cup semi-finals following a decisive 2-0 victory against Morocco in Boston. This win makes them the first team to secure a spot in the final four, continuing their hunt for a third World Cup title after previous triumphs in 1998 and 2018. The decisive goals arrived in the second half via Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele, marking the 15th and 16th goals for France in this competition.
Didier Deschamps, who has led the squad since 2012, is overseeing his final tournament. With a deep bench of elite attacking talent including Michael Olise and Bradley Barcola, observers like Patrick Vieira suggest this iteration of Les Bleus may be their strongest yet. France has been dominant, having conceded only two goals throughout their campaign.
While former players like Ian Wright and Roy Keane praise the team’s balance and offensive firepower, commentators warn against complacency. As they await the result of the Spain versus Belgium match to determine their next opponent, the French side remains the primary favorite to lift the trophy on July 19.
