France will take on Morocco in a highly anticipated FIFA World Cup quarter-final at Atlanta Stadium on Thursday. The match is a rematch of the 2022 semi-final, but both teams have changed significantly since then. Morocco, unbeaten in 34 matches and reigning Africa Cup of Nations champions, arrive full of confidence after defeating Canada. France, led by Kylian Mbappe, have impressed with a refreshed squad featuring William Saliba and Michael Olise. Mbappe is also chasing Lionel Messi in the race for the Golden Boot and the all-time World Cup scoring record, adding extra significance to the clash. (PC: X)
