Hello.
World Cup. Semi-finals. France vs Spain. We're moving forward with the French team to the next round.
The French are confidently moving forward, and their attacking trio looks unstoppable. They have also improved their defense after the group stage. Morocco was only able to create 0.14 xG against them, while the French team created 3.68 xG. Morocco is known for their good defense, but they didn't have any problems against any team, except for Paraguay, who didn't play very good football, but simply disrupted the French. The Spanish team definitely won't have an easy time playing against them.
The Spanish team also looks good and controls the ball well, but Belgium has already shown that they can break through their defense. Against both Portugal and Belgium, the substitution of Merino and late goals saved them, but they might not be able to rely on that for the third time. Yamal doesn't seem to be in good form, and the Spanish side seems a bit weaker to me. In their group, they didn't have anyone to compete against (Uruguay doesn't even come close to the old Uruguay, so I don't think it's worth discussing), and Austria looked tragic the whole tournament, just like the Portuguese (their players are good, but their game is not inspiring at all). Everyone was talking about how the Belgians have no chance and the Spanish will crush them, but we saw a completely different picture and only a barely rescued Peru against a very depleted Belgium team whose once golden youth is no longer able to carry them.
Many people say that this is already the final, but I don't know... I think the Spanish have a chance, like Peru, and I hope it will be proven today. I hope for at least 2 goals from the French and one from the Spanish (they still create good chances, so it's hard to deny that). Good luck.
