Spain Star Lamine Yamal Sends Strong Message to France
Spain will play the rare role of underdogs against World Cup favorite France. Spanish star Lamine Yamal sent a clear message to France after the team’s win over Belgium to advance to the semifinal in Dallas.
“If anyone should be afraid it should be them — we knocked them out of the Euros,” Yamal explained, per The Athletic’s Paul Tenorio.
“Obviously we are two great teams, among the best in the world. We’ll see what happens, but we have no fear.”
Leo Messi Has Never Faced England in the World Cup During His Legendary Career
Lionel Messi and Argentina needed yet another dose of late heroics to notch a 3-1 victory over Switzerland in extra time. After another thrilling win, Messi reflected on facing England for the first time in his career.
“Everything I have seen and remember [about Argentina vs. England from 1986] is from videos and images that Argentinians constantly watch and relive,” Messi told ESPN. “But I think this group is used to playing football matches regardless of the opponent.
“Obviously, playing against England is special because they are a powerhouse, and matches against powerhouses are always special. Personally, it’s the first time I’m going to play against them. I’ve played against everyone except England, so it will be nice for that reason too. And we’ll experience it for what it is: a World Cup semifinal against a powerhouse, a great team, and we’ll try to arrive in the best possible shape to compete again.”
England enters the semifinal match as the favorite to advance to the final at -135, per DraftKings. Argentina is listed as a +110 underdog to defeat England.
