15:45 CET - Hello and welcome to our coverage of the first quarter-final at the 2026 World Cup! It's some way to start the stage too, with heavyweights France taking on African giants Morocco at the Gillette Stadium just outside of Boston from 22:00 CET.
We are coming off the tournament's first proper rest day, meaning our minds are refreshed and, hopefully, the players are too, with a spot in the semi-finals on the line.
