By: Griffin Wong

Arguably the most widely-anticipated matchup of the entire World Cup is here, a battle between two European heavyweights with a trip to the final on the line. France and Spain came to North America as two of the pre-tournament favorites, and neither has done anything to dispel that notion.

They’ll face off at 3 p.m. ET in Dallas, with the winner going on to face either Argentina or England in the final on Sunday in New York/New Jersey. The loser will advance to the bronze final on Saturday in Miami.

Both teams’ lineups are now set for the pivotal clash. Didier Deschamps has announced the 11 men who will represent Les Bleus, while Luis de la Fuente has done the same for La Roja.

France is a +150 favorite to win in regular time at DraftKings Sportsbook (-140 to advance to the final), and Spain is +210 (+115 to advance). There are +205 odds that the match will be require extra time.
