Welcome back to Inside Track!
We're down to the final four teams in the World Cup, with very little separating the sides.
France, who are chasing a third straight World Cup final, take on European champions Spain in Texas today.
The 2018 winners, powered by talisman Kylian Mbappe, have the look of a side that have been thoroughly enjoying themselves so far.
However, Spain have been a thorn in their sides over the past couple of years, first knocking them out of the UEFA Euro 2024 tournament and then beating them again in the UEFA Nations League semi-finals last year.
My colleagues Julien Pretot and Fernando Kallas preview the heavyweight clash, while Fernando also looks at Spain's plan to stifle France's all-star attack by hogging the ball.
