Summary
Jimbo discusses the second semi-final with Duncan Alexander and Tom Williams as France continue their defence of the World Cup.
Les Bleus see off Morocco without dazzling but once again getting the job done. We discuss how Antoine Griezmann became the midfield dynamo that Didier Deschamps’ tactical approach depends upon.
Their opponents on Sunday will be Argentina. Martin Mazur tells us how everyone is singing, everyone wants stickers and everyone wants to do it for Messi instead of Messi doing it for them.
Plus 3rd/4th place play-offs and the unsung XI.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
RUNNING ORDER:
• PART 1: France 2-0 Morocco (02.00)
• PART 2: Argentina prepare for the final with Martin Mazur (11.00)
• PART 3: The unsung XI and other final thoughts (31.00)
