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

The World Cup semifinal features a thrilling showdown between France and Spain. France aims for its third consecutive final after winning in 2018 and falling short in 2022. Spain hasn't reached this stage since their 2010 victory.

France enters the match with momentum, having dominated Morocco 2-0 and scoring the tournament's highest total of 16 goals. Kylian Mbappe leads the attack with eight goals and three assists, supported by Ousmane Dembele’s five goals and Michael Olise’s five assists.

Spain edged out Belgium with an 88th-minute goal from Mikel Merino. They have conceded only one goal in the entire tournament. Key contributors include Merino with two goals, Mikel Oyarzabal with four goals and an assist, and young playmaker Lamine Yamal.

The historical record leans slightly toward Spain at 18 wins, 13 losses, and 7 draws. Recent encounters have favored Spain too, with victories in the Euro 2024 semifinal and the 2025 Nations League semifinal. France did win the 2021 Nations League final against Spain.

This clash pairs France’s aggressive offense against Spain’s tight defense. The rivalry has already produced some memorable matches, suggesting this semifinal could be the best game of the tournament so far.
