The opening quarterfinal of four exciting World Cup matchups takes place on Thursday as France take on Morocco at Gillette Stadium.
These two sides met in the semifinals of the 2022 World Cup and both teams have made notable strides since that encounter. France's talent-laden squad is operating at an entirely different level with its wealth of attacking options, while Mohamed Ouahbi's appointment as Morocco's head coach has ushered in a more open, fluid style of play.
Les Bleus have won all five of their World Cup games so far without really being tested. The Atlas Lions have had a somewhat tougher road, yet they have still dispatched Scotland, Haiti, the Netherlands and Canada on their way to the quarterfinals, while also earning a hard-fought point against Brazil in the group stage.
France is the clear favorite heading into Thursday's high-stakes encounter and is widely expected to advance to a semifinal against either Spain or Belgium. That said, Morocco will be a dangerous opponent capable of pulling off an upset.
Here's how to catch all the action from home.
