France take on Spain this evening in the World Cup semi-final, with a place in the final at stake. Les Bleus have dominated the tournament, winning all three group matches and cruising past Sweden, Paraguay, and Morocco in the knockout stages. They are aiming for a third consecutive World Cup final appearance.
Spain's challenge against tournament favourites
Spain, winners in 2010, have not reached the semi-finals since then. They edged past Belgium and Portugal with late goals from Mikel Merino. France's potent attack is expected to test goalkeeper Unai Simon heavily. The winner will face either England or Argentina in the final.
