ALL THE FACTS

France have reached a World Cup semi-final for the sixth time, with two finals (1998 and 2006).

France are only the second team to beat three different South American sides in a single World Cup, after the Netherlands in 1974.

France are unbeaten in their last 10 World Cup matches against South American sides (W6 D4), since a 1-2 loss vs Argentina in 1978. It’s the joint-longest ever such run against CONMEBOL nations (Italy also 10 between 1982 and 2010).

Uruguay had more yellow cards (2) than they had in their previous four 2018 World Cup games combined (1).
