Summary
The clinical Spaniards, who have not conceded a single goal so far, eliminated Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal in the last 16 and will fancy their chances of overcoming Belgium, who dismantled the United States 4-1 in the last 16. Blocking England’s path is a formidable Norway side spearheaded by the irrepressible Haaland, who scored both goals in Sunday’s last-16 win over Brazil. The South Americans, aiming to become the first back-to-back champions since Brazil in 1962, were given an almighty scare by Cape Verde in the last 32.
Furthermore, England advanced with a pulsating 3-2 defeat of co-hosts Mexico at the Estadio Azteca that has given the Three Lions renewed belief in their bid to win a first major title since 1966. Messi, who missed a penalty in the first half, said: “We didn’t want today to be the end, we didn’t want to go home.” The winner of the Argentina-Switzerland clash will face either Norway or England, who clash in Miami on Saturday. The winner will advance to a semi-final against the victor of Friday’s tie in Los Angeles between European champions Spain and Belgium.
In addition, France’s appeal of midfielder Michael Olise’s yellow card during its 1-0 round of 16 win over Paraguay was denied by FIFA on Wednesday. “We received FIFA’s decision this morning that the yellow card was maintained,” Deschamps said. Thursday’s opening quarter-final is a repeat of the 2022 World Cup semi-final in Qatar, won by France, who went on to lose an all-time classic final against Argentina on penalties. Our opponent is Morocco, not the referee.” The 57-year-old Deschamps was also asked to ponder his own future; he plans to step down after the tournament.
Moreover, Traders are not strongly backing a multi-goal France win, while the Morocco team total and BTTS markets point to a competitive match script where the underdog has a real path to get on the board.
