100 matches down, four to go: it’s World Cup semi-final time as France meet Spain.
Kick-off in Dallas is at 20:00 BST.
TEAM NEWS
Les Bleus make two changes from the 2-0 win over Morocco in the quarter-finals.
One is expected as Aurélien Tchouaméni ($6.5m) returns from injury to replace Manu Koné ($6.1m) in the engine room.
The other alteration is more of a surprise Рor at least, it was until the news broke on social media earlier this afternoon. Bradley Barcola ($8.0m) comes in for Desire Dou̩ ($7.5m) on the wing.
As for Spain, Luis de la Fuente has named the same side that started Friday’s quarter-final win over Belgium.
Mikel Merino ($6.2m), the match-winner in each of the past two rounds, has to settle for substitute duty once again.
Pedri ($8.1m) is once more kept out of the side by Fabian Ruiz ($6.8m).
Now that we’ve seen the line-ups, we know that only four starters qualify for Scouting Bonus. Unsurprisingly, they are the four central midfielders: Ruiz, Rodri ($7.5m), Tchouaméni and Adrien Rabiot ($6.4m).
