"I still don't know how good France is!" | Tim Vickery and Philippe Auclair

France are through to another World Cup semi-final after comfortably beating Morocco, but was this actually another convincing statement or simply another game where nobody truly tested them? Tim Vickery and Philippe Auclair discuss why Morocco abandoned the identity that made them so dangerous in 2022, whether France's incredible attacking talent is psychologically defeating opponents before kick-off, and why Spain could finally provide the examination Didier Deschamps' side has been waiting for. They also debate Belgium's chances, Didier Deschamps' emotional situation during the tournament, Mbappé's changing public image, VAR controversy, Paraguay's physical approach against France and why dark arts still have a place in tournament football. 📲 Join the Brazilian Shirt Name WhatsApp Channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbBN... 🎧 Also available wherever you get your podcasts.
