Hosts discuss the highly anticipated FIFA World Cup semifinal clash between France and Spain, set to take place today in Dallas. Sports and entertainment reporter Mike Gunzelman analyzes the intense matchup, noting Spain's strong defense against Kylian Mbappé. He also reflects on the tournament's massive success and growing soccer fandom in the US.
In a World Cup semifinal like this, there's so much to unpack. I have already written about the historical, emotional and psychological aspects of England’s World Cup matchup against Argentina, so I want to dive into the tactical elements of this highly anticipated semifinal too.
ATLANTA: Thomas Tuchel was hired by England as head coach with a simple brief: win the 2026 World Cup. So far, so good as they prepare to take on Lionel Messi’s Argentina in the semifinals. The German has overseen a largely happy camp, dancing with his players in the dressing room in Mexico City after their battling win against the co-hosts. But his tone changed following Saturday’s 2-1 quarter-final victory over Norway, when he described his team as “lucky.” “The result is fantastic. The last four is amazing, but I’m not happy with the performance,” he said. That downbeat assessment drew a stinging retort from midfielder Jude Bellingham, who scored twice as England came from behind. “Whatever, whatever,” said the Real Madrid midfielder after a gruelling 120 minutes in the searing Miami heat. The pair have a complicated history, but the exchange was a stark reminder that Tuchel will not shy away from speaking his mind. The 52-year-old will not care that he has riled Bellingham, who has scored six goals and once again proved himself to be England’s man for the big moment. The Football Association knew who it was getting when it hired the former Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Bayern Munich boss to replace Gareth Southgate in 2024. Southgate had reshaped the team during his largely successful tenure, breaking down barriers between players from rival clubs and forging a cohesive unit. But his team never got over the line — defeated in the semifinals and quarter-finals at the World Cup and twice losing in the final of the Euros.
KANSAS CITY, Missouri, July 14 : England captain Harry Kane dismissed suggestions of a rift between manager Thomas Tuchel and midfielder Jude Bellingham, saying media scrutiny had exaggerated a brief post-match exchange following their World Cup quarter-final victory over Norway.
Don't let a thrilling World Cup match get in the way of a friendship – especially when it's between two of the best players on the planet.
Day 34 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup delivers the first semifinal, and it is a heavyweight clash between two of Europe's finest. France, led by tournament co-leading scorer Kylian Mbappé, faces a Spain side that has yet to concede a goal all tournament, with a spot in Sunday's final on the line. Kickoff is at 3 p.m. ET in Dallas, airing on FOX and streaming live and on demand on FOX One.
DAKAR: Senegal’s team doctor lacked the specialist background needed to support the squad during the World Cup in North America, the president of the country’s football federation said on Monday, as the governing body took stock of a disappointing campaign. The team doctor was “trained as a gynaecologist” and the issue was discovered late and had raised concern among players about the level of medical support available, federation chief Abdoulaye Fall told a press conference. “Based on the feedback I received, the players were not sufficiently reassured about being supported by him,” Fall said.
OSLO: More than 100,000 fans flooded the streets of the Norwegian capital Oslo on Monday to give their soccer team a heroes’ welcome, turning the heartbreak of their World Cup exit into a massive national celebration. A 2-1 extra-time defeat by England on Saturday brought Norway’s historic run to an end in the quarter-finals, shattering the Nordics’ dreams of a place in the last four.
