In the semi-finals, France will play the surprise of the tournament, Morocco, on Wednesday. The selection of the Gaelic Rooster has succeeded for the seventh time out of nine World Cup quarter-final appearances, while England, on the other hand, have progressed in just three of 11 attempts and will not repeat the semi-final from the last championship four years ago. France lost only one of the last nine duels against Albion, but they beat last year’s European vice-champions for the first time at the World Cup.
