Coverage of the first semi-final, which takes place at Dallas Stadium in the USA. The French are looking to reach their third successive final, having finished as runners-up to Argentina in 2022 and lifted the trophy in 2018. Their current line-up has arguably looked even more impressive this time around, and they rarely looked troubled in topping their group, before eliminating Sweden, Paraguay and Morocco in the knockout rounds. Spain reached their first World Cup semi-final since they won the competition in 2010 thanks to a 2-1 victory over Belgium. Arsenal's Mikel Merino scored another late winner for the Spaniards after Manchester United's Senne Lammens made an error leading to the goal.
Coverage of the second semi-final, which takes place at Atlanta Stadium in the USA. England reached their fourth World Cup semi-final with an extra-time victory against Norway in the quarter-finals, and were victorious in this stadium in the last 32, when they came from behind again to defeat DR Congo. The goals of Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham have been key to their success, and they'll be needed again here against old foes Argentina. The reigning champions haven't been at their best in their title defence, but have still managed to score three times in each of their three knockout matches so far, and have the remarkable Lionel Messi, who is set to face England for the first time in his career.
