Spain vs Away

This is a heavyweight semi-final at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas. The retractable roof will be closed to combat the 100°F+ Texas heat, creating a fast, indoor-style pitch. This environment favors France's explosive sprinters. Referee Ivan Barton is known for high card counts, which could penalize Spain's tactical fouling used to stop counters.

Injuries & Absentees

Both teams enter the semi-final relatively healthy, though Spain shows signs of 'tournament fatigue' following extra-time intensity in previous rounds. No key starters are suspended, but France's Konaté and Spain's Cucurella are one yellow card away from a final suspension (if rules carry over), which may influence their defensive aggression.
