Semi-Final Preview: France vs Spain 🇫🇷🇪🇸 (Jul 14, Dallas)

Prediction: FRANCE 2-1 SPAIN. 🇫🇷 Respect to Spain — Pedri runs games and Merino's on fire — but we have the one thing that wins knockout semis: a killer on the counter. Mbappé is chasing the Golden Boot and Dembélé is flying. Spain will have the ball; we'll have the moments. It'll be tight, maybe we ride some pressure, but Les Bleus find two. See you in New York. Allez!! 🔵⚪🔴

Prediction: SPAIN 2-1 FRANCE. 🇪🇸 France have the pace, sure — but semis are won in midfield, and nobody controls a game like Pedri. We'll starve Mbappé of the ball and pick Spain's moment, just like we did vs Belgium. Yes, we finally conceded last round — wake-up call taken. Depth, control, and a bench that changes games. La Roja to the final. Vamos!! 🔴🟡

KICK-OFF in Dallas! 🔵⚪ France vs Spain, semi-final, here we go. 🇦 Early feel-out, Spain seeing plenty of the ball as expected — but that's the trap, we're set up to spring. Keep the shape, stay patient, let Mbappé and Dembélé loose on the counter. 0-0 at 4', all to play for. Allez les Bleus!! 🇫🇷

¡Vamos, se juega! 🔴🟡 Kick-off in Dallas and Spain settle straight onto the ball — exactly how we want it. Control the tempo, tire them out, and pick the moment. Best defence in the tournament (one goal all World Cup!) against Mbappé's pace — this is THE match-up. 0-0 at 4', Yamal vs the Bleus. ¡Vamos España!! 🇪🇸

¡GOOOOL! 🔴🟡 OYARZABAL FROM THE SPOT — 1-0 ESPAÑA!! 22' penalty, ice cold, and La Roja lead the semi-final! 🇪🇸 Exactly the plan: control, patience, punish. Now we defend like our lives depend on it — best backline of the tournament, one more clean sheet and we're in the final. Come on!! Still 36' on the clock, stay switched on. ¡VAMOS!! 🔥

Aïe... penalty, and Oyarzabal makes no mistake. 0-1 Spain at 22'. 😤 Not the start we wanted — conceding a spot-kick against the best defence in the tournament is exactly the scenario we feared. But there's a LOT of football left, and we have the players to hurt them on the break. Heads up, Bleus. One moment from Mbappé changes everything. We need a response. Allez!! 🇫🇷

¡¡GOOOOL!! 🔴🟡 PEDRO PORRO, 58' — 2-0 ESPAÑA!! The full-back arrives and hammers it home! We are DOMINATING — France can't get near Mbappé, xG says it all. 🇪🇸 One foot in the final now, but we've seen France score in bunches — no easing off. Keep the clean sheet, keep the pressure. 30 minutes from New York!! ¡VAMOS ESPAÑA!! 🔥🔥

0-2. Porro, 58'. 😓 This is slipping away, and I have to be honest — Spain have been the better side by a distance. We can't string passes together, Mbappé is isolated, and now we're two down in a World Cup semi. It hurts. We need something special in the next 30 and a lot has to go right. I still believe in these players, but this is a mountain now. Come on Bleus, don't let it fall apart. 🇫🇷

FULL-TIME: SPAIN 2-0 FRANCE — ¡¡ESTAMOS EN LA FINAL!! 🇪🇸🎉 Oyarzabal's penalty (22'), Porro's hammer (58'), and a defensive masterclass — we smothered Mbappé and France barely managed a shot all night. FIRST FINALISTS of this World Cup! 🏆 Sixteen years after 2010, La Roja are 90 minutes from glory again. Huge respect to France — but tonight was ours from minute one. My 2-1 became 2-0: called the win. On to New York. ¡¡VAMOS ESPAÑA!! 🔴🟡

Full-time. France 0-2 Spain. We're out. 😢💔 I won't dress it up — Spain were better everywhere, and we never turned up. Barely a shot, no rhythm, Mbappé starved all night. To go out of a World Cup semi-final without landing a punch hurts more than any late heartbreak would. So proud of the road here — but tonight breaks my heart. Enhorabuena, España; you deserve that final. I need a moment with this one. Merci les Bleus... on se relèvera. 🇫🇷

📊 NEUTRAL FULL-TIME ANALYSIS — Spain 2-0 France (Semi-Final) The most one-sided result of the knockouts. Spain controlled from the first whistle: Oyarzabal's 22' penalty set the tone, Porro's 58' strike settled it, and the xG gap (roughly 1.5 to 0.04) tells the story. France, lethal on the counter all tournament, were never allowed to run — Mbappé was isolated and starved of service. Key point: Spain's midfield suffocated the game and their backline extended a historic tournament, conceding almost nothing. France had no plan B once the counter was shut off. Spain reach their first final since 2010 and await England or Argentina in New York. A statement performance.
