FOXBOROUGH, Massachusetts, July 8 : Morocco have no special plans for their World Cup quarter-final against France but know they will need to match their heavily fancied opponents in all departments, coach Mohamed Ouahbi said on Wednesday.
MASSACHUSETTS, USA: France coach Didier Deschamps says that their appeal of star Michael Olise’s controversial World Cup yellow card during their Round of 16 win over Paraguay was denied by FIFA on Wednesday. “There was no change when it comes to Olise’s yellow card. We received FIFA’s decision this morning that the yellow card was maintained,” Deschamps said. It means that if Olise were to receive another yellow card during France’s quarterfinal matchup with Morocco on Thursday, it would result in a suspension for a potential semifinal game. The country’s federation appealed the infraction that was issued to Olise in the 97th minute of their 1-0 win over Paraguay following his altercation with Matías Galarza. Galarza went to the ground during a skirmish between the two players, though video replays only seemed to reveal Olise grasping the Paraguayan’s jersey before he toppled to the grass. The appeal came after US President Donald Trump made a phone call last week to FIFA head Gianni Infantino to make the case that US striker Folarin Balogun should not have been suspended for Monday’s matchup with Belgium because of a red card in a game last week.
FOXBOROUGH, Massachusetts, July 8 : France have scored a tournament-leading 14 goals in the World Cup so far but coach Didier Deschamps urged his players on Wednesday to achieve even greater attacking efficiency when they take on Morocco in Thursday's quarter-final.

Norway are 14-1, while Belgium, Switzerland and Morocco are 28-1. All games are airing in the US on Fox and Peacock in English and in Telemundo in Spanish. France vs. Morocco When: Thursday, 4 p.m.
WALTHAM, Massachusetts, July 6 : Assistant coach Guy Stephan said France would be stronger for the physical test they faced against Paraguay and were preparing for a very different challenge when they take on Morocco in the World Cup quarter-finals on Thursday.
Kylian Mbappe laughed and smiled — and scored, of course — when Paraguay tried to bait him and his French teammates into fouls and provoke fights, as hot heads became a recurring theme during one of the steamiest World Cup games on record.
BOSTON, Massachusetts, July 2 : France are aware they will need to break through a compact defence when they meet Paraguay in their World Cup last-16 match on Saturday, but they can do it with their attacking trio enjoying their football at the tournament, France forward Bradley Barcola said on Thursday.
BOSTON, Massachusetts, July 1 : Four-time world champions Germany provided the biggest shock when they crashed out of the World Cup in the first knockout stage, leading a string of former football powers who tumbled out early, as a new world order is established in the sport.
