Another live text done and dusted as France are the first side to book their spot in the semi-finals of the World Cup.

But who will their opponent be?

You can find out live on the BBC tomorrow at 20:00 BST as Spain take on Belgium.

See you then.

Before the competition, we were all convinced that Spain would be in the semi-final or the quarter-final.

I think France will not have any kind of issues playing against them. I think France were a better team today than they were four years ago, but I don't think Spain are a better team today than they were four years ago.

I don't see anybody stopping the French team from going to the final.

At this stage of the tournament, it is all about the result. If you put in an organised tactical formation and you go back in at half-time 0-0 against France, then you think that you are doing things right. The plan was to hold on for an hour and try to win the game afterwards. The first goal came with the magic of Kylian [Mbappe].

If you play toe-to-toe with France, then you leave yourself open and this is where these teams are dangerous and will hit you on the counter. The plan was working; if you can pinch it in the last 10-15 minutes of the game, then that is what they wanted to do.

On the Golden Boot race:

If I had to really stick my neck out, and I know Messi has been great, I think the winner might be Mbappe. I just feel it. They are creating a lot of chances and I just get the feeling that he might get there.

The pace of the French, these players are lightning quick. They are like lightning.

When they do run in behind, he is electric, and he has already gone.

You're not catching these lads. There is nothing you can do about pace.

If they're electric, then there is nothing you can do about it.

On who France will want to face in the semi-final:

Belgium is the old rival. So many stories before, not just the proximity between the two countries, but everything historically, sporting-wise. Then Spain is the old enemy in a way, too, not as old as Belgium, but the bogey team a little bit.

The team that knocked us out of the Euro semi-finals two years ago, and the team that probably has all of the qualities to counter this French team and this French attack. For me, France v Spain should have been the final, would have been the best final, but if we have that in the semi-final, then it will be one of the games for the ages.

On the stutter approach for penalties:

There is an arms race going on. It is definitely harder to score a penalty now. The reason being the goalkeepers are bigger now, more athletic. If your keeper goes the right way, you must hit the side netting with pace; even then, it still might be saved.

A very good penalty is no longer a certainty, so you have to rethink it. OK, I need to make sure he goes the wrong way, hence the stutter; you try to send them the wrong way. Of course, the goalkeepers have the data; they know what everybody does. There is no hiding what you prefer because it shows up. There is a constant running battle to figure out how you get the advantage.

Mbappe knows what his advantage is: preparation. He has a set-up; he went through it twice today but the problem is that he had to go through it three times, and the third time [he missed].

Hassan Kachloul
Former Morocco international speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live

Of course, Morocco came up against a very good French side but I think the manager was torn up between attacking. When you don't have your main striker, a fixed point up front to reach, it suddenly becomes attack against defence.

Even if you put a lot of midfielders in, he thought he would have the upper hand in trying to move the ball forward, but it didn't happen and then suddenly they were creating very little.

It is a learning curve; they are not the only team that lost against France. Once again, we played three of the top eight teams andit is very difficult to get to a final with so many great teams in front.

Roy Keane
Former Republic of Ireland captain on ITV

The first goal. That is what we expect from him [Kylian Mbappe]. A lovely finish, but that is what he does. All the top players have turned up - they have brought their A game.

You could have 25 around him, but the great players decide what they're going to do with the ball. What these great players do is they dictate.

When they do get too close, he'll do a trick and the type of goals he is getting this tournament - players are frightened to death.

Also, congratulations to France for guaranteeing themselves a spot in the third-place play-off.

Wooooo.

Pat Nevin

France are the best, the most skillful, the most dangerous attacking team in the tournament, which is saying something considering the standard of strikers out there, but they have more than one. They have two, three, four that are capable.

We have seen one or two weaknesses, glimmers, no more than that. Sometimes, when they have cruised to a win, they do take their eye off the ball. In reality, perhaps the only team that can stop them is themselves by not playing at their best.

I have to say I was disappointed by this Morocco team. Maybe Saibari not being there changed the dynamic completely? I thought the French were outstanding from start to finish. The game could have finished 5-0 easily if you count the penalty and then the Upamecano header.

Ian Wright
Former England striker on ITV

It is very difficult to see the weakness [in France]. If Spain get through they have the quality to maybe pass through them and maybe the pace of Lamine Yamal to try and punish them, but they look imperious. Then you have got individual brilliance.

France’s Kylian Mbappe has now registered 10+ goal involvements in both of the last two World Cups (8 goals, 2 assists in 2022, 8 goals, 3 assists in 2026) – he's the only player on record (since 1966) to achieve this in two different tournaments. His 11 in 2026 are the most by a single player since Gerd Muller in 1970 (10 goals, 3 assists).

Roy Keane
Former Republic of Ireland captain on ITV

France have got more gears to go.

Morocco were playing on fumes and France were so much better in every aspect of the game, but it doesn't mean that they cannot be beaten.

France are in a great place. You have your attacking players scoring goals and your individual players going past people.

Any chance of beating France you have got to score the first goal. Even if they get the first goal, teams have to try come at them, and they will pick you off for fun.

Pick that out.

It is unbelievable. We're talking about a generation of players and when you look at the squad and the attacking players. That is maybe one of the best ever generations on that side, because you have so many players - it is so unbelievable.

Who beats France then?
