Spectacle and scheduling: what France v Spain in Dallas actually measures

Didier Deschamps called the World Cup semi-final in Dallas 'spectacular' in advance. The harder question is what a one-off July neutral-site game can prove about two programmes already heading in opposite directions.

Desk note: Monexus treated the Deschamps quote and Spain goal-reel as the two factual anchors from the wire, and pushed back against the reflexive temptation to declare this semi-final a verdict on either federation's project. The match measures squad depth at the end of a long tournament. It does not measure much else.
