The World Cup quarterfinals stage is set and kicks off on Thursday with France vs. Morocco. Despite a thrilling road to this point of the tournament, some teams unexpectedly found their way into the bracket of eight remaining teams.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Kylian Mbappé recovered from a missed penalty to score his 20th World Cup goal and help send France through to the semifinals with a 2-0 win over Morocco.
CALIFORNIA: Mikel Merino is relishing Spain’s opportunity to advance to the semifinals of the World Cup, although first up is a quarterfinal matchup against Belgium in Inglewood, California, on Friday. Merino played a major role as Spain stayed alive with his stoppage-time goal in a 1-0 win against Portugal in the round of 16 on Monday. And yet the clutch goal is but one reason the midfielder is appreciative of the moment at hand. Merino nearly missed his World Cup opportunity after a stress fracture and subsequent surgery in late January put his roster spot in doubt.
ATLANTA, July 9 : Jeremy Doku has had the birth of his child to celebrate during the World Cup but little else to cheer having lost his spot in the Belgium side, but Friday’s quarter-final against Spain in Los Angeles could be his chance to make up for lost time.
The Toronto Tempo are adding some Canadian talent to their frontcourt.
FOXBOROUGH, Massachusetts, July 9 : France will start with attacking midfielder Desire Doue as coach Didier Deschamps opted to leave Bradley Barcola on the bench, in a tactical change for the 2018 world champions in their World Cup quarter-final against Morocco on Thursday.
July 9 : Crystal Palace have signed Spain defender Oscar Mingueza on a four-year contract following his departure from La Liga side Celta Vigo, the Premier League club said on Thursday.
PRAIA: Thousands of flag-waving fans gathered in Cape Verde’s capital to welcome the returning national soccer team after their stunning debut World Cup performance, mobbing the players as they left the airport. In downtown Praia, at one of the country’s most prestigious training academies, students as young as nine say it is just the start of their island nation’s transformation into a powerhouse of the sport. From their opening group-stage draw against heavyweight Spain to their heartbreaking 3-2 knockout loss to defending champions Argentina, the “Blue Sharks” frustrated some of the world’s best strikers and showed off some scoring flair of their own, pushing Lionel Messi’s team into extra time. Supporter Renato Ribeiro said he was overjoyed to see his team, representing a country off West Africa with a population of around 500,000 — the least populous ever to reach the World Cup knockout rounds — defy the world’s low expectations. “They only gave us a 1 percent chance, but I always said that 1 percent is a lot for us,” he told Reuters during a party at a fan zone on Sunday, where the players made an appearance. “My greatest pride is to see that our national team will leave young people with more desire to play.”
