Morocco
at France

The rematch nobody asked for and everyone wanted. France won the twenty-twenty-two semi one-nil against a Morocco side that ran out of gas after seven weeks of miracles. Walid Regragui hasn't forgotten. Morocco's spine hasn't aged — Sofyan Amrabat still eats midfielders alive, Achraf Hakimi still runs the right channel like it's his personal driveway. France will bring Mbappé, Dembélé and Camavinga in transition and try to punish Morocco's high line. If Regragui gets a lead and drops into a five-three-two, this is Qatar all over again. Best quarter-final on the slate by a mile.
