WORLD CUP NOTES: France two wins away from a rare repeat Via DerekVanDiest
Unlike Pele in 1962, Mbappe has stayed healthy in his second World Cup appearance and presents a massive threat to Morocco in the semifinal Wednesday at the Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, an hour north of here.
“Even though you might be friends off the pitch, when you’re involved in a World Cup match and you’re representing your country, that takes precedent; your competitive spirit takes over,” Lloris said on Tuesday. “It is true that it’s more difficult to face a teammate because you know each other so well. You’re unlikely to have any surprises.
“It will be a hostile atmosphere for us inside the stadium, but we are ready for anything. We’re staying composed and focused and we’ve carefully studied our opponent and have to show we are ready to raise the level and step up to play in a World Cup semifinal. We will need to be at the top of our game.”Article content
