France vs Spain: A Semi-Final to Rival the Final Itself

France against Spain in Dallas is shaping up as the match of the tournament, according to The Guardian's Football Daily. The French have been in dazzling form since their second half against Senegal in the opener, playing with a flair and freedom that has caught the world's attention.

And yet it is Spain, the reigning European champions and home of the brilliant Lamine Yamal and his equally exciting younger brother, who come in as the composed, disciplined side. According to The Guardian, the Spanish have been keeping things tight where France have been letting it all hang out.

With both nations arriving at the semi-final stage boasting genuine quality across the pitch, The Guardian puts the question plainly: could this be the game that feels like the real final, even before the final itself is played?
