- France vs. Morocco in the World Cup quarterfinals on July 9 in Boston is a rematch of the 2022 semis (France won 2-0) — France has also won every game in regulation this tournament.
- Kylian Mbappé is in charge for France, scoring the round-of-16 penalty to extend his World Cup knockout record and accounting for a huge chunk of their goals — he’s one to watch to score.
- Morocco are on a historic run — the first African nation to reach two World Cup quarterfinals, have matched the African single-tournament scoring record (10 goals), and knocked out Canada 3-0 despite limited chances (one key player’s fitness is uncertain).
