★ The storyline

TalismanDeveloping

France march on

France are through. They saw off Morocco 2–0 in the quarter-finals, and a family that's followed them all summer dares to look a little further up the bracket. On to the semi-finals.

Morocco bow out

And there it ends. Morocco fall to France 2–0 in the quarter-finals, and a summer of following them is over. It stings now — but what a ride it was, and there's no shame in going out swinging.

France keep it tidy and take it

France 2, Morocco 0. A clean sheet and a comfortable win in the quarter-finals — no fuss, no scare, exactly the sort of statement that puts a marker down for the rest of the field.

ComebackDeveloping

France march on through the quarter-finals

The run is real. France are through the quarter-finals, and a family that has followed them all summer is starting to believe. One more, and then we talk seriously.

Ghosts of Doha: France and Morocco Renew Rivalry in Boston

Four years on from their semi-final showdown in Qatar, France and Morocco meet again—this time in the quarter-finals in Boston. The French come in as the proven champions of that encounter, but Morocco arrives unbeaten through five games, a feat they've now matched in consecutive World Cups. This is the story of a rising African force seeking redemption against a sleeping giant who's been here before, and asking whether the gap that opened in Doha has actually closed.
