France at 32%, Argentina at 20%, Spain at 19% and England at 16%. Looks like the order has been preserved so far...

Yes, but you don't take into account the fact that France - Morocco will be reffed by a full team of Argentinians.

This will render the game unwinnable by France due to a red card for Mbappé, Olise, Maignan and Dembélé before the 10th minute.

I have to agree and say that I'm scared of this scenario as well. I know France has el dictador Mbappé on their side, but it's not going to work against the VAR.

Next day edit: Congrats France for the 2-0, no VAR interventions, perhaps el dictador had some influence after all!

Yeah, that was a strange decision, but whatever, it doesn't seem to have mattered much in the end.

The semifinal could just as easily have been the final. I don't know what the French press will say, but here it feels like this is probably going to be the most intense match of the World Cup. I still think France is the favorite because of its explosive offense, although I very much doubt France will feel comfortable on Tuesday. It's going to be interesting.

I can't believe France are out! I'm mortified. ☠️

Spain really has the potential to repeat 2010 now!

Yeah, looks like Spain is the favorite now! Too bad for France, but Spain deserved to win. Better win the final too, now! :P
