France vs Spain: How to Watch the World Cup Semifinal Live

The semifinal clash between France and Spain promises a thrilling encounter. France seeks a third consecutive final appearance after winning in 2018 and falling short in 2022. Spain, on the other hand, hasn't reached this stage since their 2010 victory.

France comes into the match with impressive momentum, having defeated Morocco 2-0 and scoring 16 goals throughout the tournament—the highest so far. Leading the attack is Kylian Mbappe, chasing the Golden Boot with eight goals and three assists, supported by Ousmane Dembele with five goals and Michael Olise who has contributed five assists.

Spain edged out Belgium with an 88th-minute goal by Mikel Merino. They've conceded only once in the tournament and rely on Merino's two goals, Mikel Oyarzabal's four goals and one assist, and the creative talent of young star Lamine Yamal.
