Fabian Ruiz - Scores in spot start Ruiz scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 2-1 victory against Belgium.

Impact Ruiz found the back of the net midway through the first half after latching on to a rebound following a shot from Dani Olmo. It was Ruiz's first goal of the World Cup, but since he replaced Pedri in midfield due to choice, it remains to be seen whether the PSG playmaker will stay in the XI ahead of the semifinal match against France on Tuesday.

Warren Zaire-Emery - Makes World Cup debut Zaire-Emery recorded one cross (zero accurate) and one interception in Thursday's 2-0 win versus Morocco.

Impact Zaire-Emery would enter the field Thursday as he made his World Cup debut, playing for 19 minutes from the bench in place of Manu Kone. He would see a bit of work with his 11 passes completed, an interception and one cross. He will likely be used very lightly moving forward, potentially earning a bit of time later in games, but unlikely to make much of an impact.

Bradley Barcola - One shot from bench Barcola registered one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Thursday's 2-0 victory over Morocco.

Impact Barcola would get some time Thursday despite his dropping to the bench, playing 13 minutes on the left flank of the attack. He would still record a shot and two chances created, a decent display despite the short appearance. He has now started in half of France's World Cup games this tournament, potentially getting the nod over Desire Doue in the semifinals.

Desire Doue - Bags assist Doue assisted once to go with three shots (two on goal), one cross (one accurate) and three chances created in Thursday's 2-0 victory over Morocco.

Impact Doue was handed the start to face Morocco after bench appearances in their past two games, sending Bradley Barcola to the bench. He would be tasked with facing PSG teammate, Achraf Hakimi, having a decent day with a cross, three shots and three chances created, with his best contribution being an assist on Kylian Mbappe's goal. Doue is now up to one assist and one goal in six appearances (three starts) this World Cup, a solid debut thus far for the attacker.

Achraf Hakimi - Five crosses in exit Hakimi registered one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Thursday's 2-0 defeat versus France.

Impact Hakimi would have a decent effort as Morocco bowed out to France on Thursday, with the defender recording one shot, two chances created and five crosses in the attack to go along with one tackle in the defense. He would see a few chances to get Morocco into decisive situations, but ultimately could not prevail, leading to their exit. It was still a solid World Cup for the best right-back in the world, recording two clean sheets to go along with one goal and two assists, adding a solid 21 corners for work on set pieces.

Ousmane Dembele - Finds back of net Dembele scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal), three crosses (three accurate) and three corners in Thursday's 2-0 win versus Morocco.

Impact Dembele would score one again for France at the 2026 World Cup, as the forward would find the back of the net in the second half to give his team a two-goal lead. That said, the forward is now at five goals this World Cup, scoring in three of their six matches while adding two assists. He continues to be a top playmaker for the team alongside Kylian Mbappe and Michael Olise, a leading option to continue earning goal contributions for the team as they advance into the semifinals.

Bradley Barcola - Set fo bench role against Morocco Barcola is expected to begin on the bench against Morocco, according to Fabrice Hakwins of RMC Sport.

Impact Barcola is now set to serve as a depth option for France on Thursday, as the forward is unlikely to start. The attacker comes off not his best game at the World Cup in the round of 16 after earning a goal contribution in two straight appearances, with two goals and one assist this tournament. This will likely leave Desire Doue to start on the left flank, with Barcola seeing a decent chance of appearing from the bench.

Desire Doue - Expected to start Thursday Doue is expected to start in Thursday's quarterfinal against Morocco, according to Fabrice Hakwins of RMC Sport.

Impact Doue looks to be trending towards a return to the starting XI after two straight appearances from the bench, expected to send Bradley Barcola to the bench. This comes after Doue scored in their final group stage match, marking his only goal contribution of the tournament thus far on eight shots and eight chances created. If he is to start, that means he will be tasked with facing Achraf Hakimi on his side.

Vitinha - Unproductive in defeat Vitinha generated one shot (zero on goal) in Monday's 1-0 defeat versus Spain.

Impact Vitinha went through several difficulties in a challenging midfield battle, committing two errors which led to shots before being replaced by Bernardo Silva in the 83rd minute. The Paris Saint-Germain standout performed below his best during the World Cup, where his output was limited mostly to accurate passes and occasional long-range shots. He should now enjoy a short break before returning to club play in the upcoming campaign.

Fabian Ruiz - One cross Monday Ruiz registered one cross (zero accurate) and one clearance in Monday's 1-0 win versus Portugal.

Impact Ruiz entered from the bench once again for Spain, having yet to start since the opener. He would only enter with five minutes left in regulation, playing through stoppage time while notching a cross and a clearance. He remains a useful option from the bench, a well-versed midfielder who can control action when asked.

Nuno Mendes - Exits with injury Mendes was forced off the field in the 56th minute of Monday's match against Spain due to an apparent muscle injury

Impact Mendes would go sliding into the box for a ball just after halftime in what looked to be normal action, but would stay on the ground and eventually leave the field, signaling he suffered a muscle injury. This is a major loss for the team, as if it were a muscle injury and anything more than a knock, his tournament could very well be over, that is, if Portugal advances. Nelson Semedo would come on in his place, and is a viable replacement moving forward, along with Diogo Dalot. However, nothing will be able to replace the speed and two-way play of Mendes, especially against the elusive Lamine Yamal.

Alessandro Longoni - Joins PSG Longoni signed with Paris Saint-Germain on a contract through 2031, the club announced.

Impact Longoni arrives after progressing through AC Milan's youth system, where he developed into one of Italy's most highly rated young goalkeepers. The 18-year-old has represented Italy at every youth level from U15 through U19 and already boasts extensive international experience for his age. Known for his shot-stopping ability and comfort in possession, he offers significant long-term potential between the posts. Longoni will now continue his development in a new environment as he looks to take the next step toward senior-level football.

Desire Doue - Impact substitute versus Paraguay Doue had one shot (zero on goal) and three chances created in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Paraguay.

Impact Doue played a key role after coming on for the final half hour of play, drawing the foul that led to France's winning penalty kick in the 67th minute of this match. Moreover, the young forward created the most chances among all players in the game, adding to his total of eight chances created in 243 minutes of play in the international competition. He has lost the starting role to Bradley Barcola lately, but the solid performance could help him push for extended outings in future rounds.

Ousmane Dembele - Busy despite scoreless display Dembele generated two shots (zero on goal), 12 crosses (one accurate) and six corners in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Paraguay.

Impact Dembele stood out for a game-high tally of 12 crosses, partly because of his constant involvement in set pieces, but he was ultimately held without a goal or assist this time. Having produced multiple shots and chances created in each of his last four outings, Dembele would be expected to hold decent offensive upside in any fixture, operating on the right wing of a fine attacking unit alongside elements like Kylian Mbappe and Michael Olise. However, the upcoming match against Morocco will potentially test France's strength to a greater extent than all of their previous contests.

Bradley Barcola - Disappointing performance Saturday Barcola registered one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Paraguay. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 19th minute.

Impact Barcola was cautioned early in the game for a foul and was then replaced by Desire Doue in the 61st minute after generating a pair of scoring chances and succeeding in five of his eight dribble attempts. This outcome marked the end of a productive run for the attacker, who had previously scored or assisted in two consecutive contests. He's now likely to remain in contention with Doue for playing time on the left wing going forward.

Achraf Hakimi - Credited with assist in win Hakimi assisted once to go with three crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 3-0 win versus Canada. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 40th minute.

Impact Hakiim set up the opening goal in a set-piece situation, as his clever touch allowed Azzedine Ounahi to find the back of the net after a free kick. While he wasn't the usual attacking influence he is, Hakimi remains one of the best two-way full-backs in the game, although his role in the quarterfinals will depend on the opponent Morocco face.

Moscardo now heads back to PSG where his future will be assessed heading into the 2026/27 season, though another loan move appears the most likely outcome given the competition for places at the French champions.

Vitinha - Quiet outing Thursday Vitinha generated one shot (zero on goal) in Thursday's 2-1 win versus Croatia.

Impact Vitinha was not at his best Thursday despite the win by Portugal, as he would leave the field before either of their goals, with a 62-minute shift. He would earn a shot and two tackles in his time on the field, also adding three fouls drawn. He has now started in all four games for the team, although he will need a better shift against Spain.

JULY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Nuno Mendes - Notches six crosses Mendes had one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (four accurate) and four corners in Thursday's 2-1 victory against Croatia.

Impact Mendes was all over the field for Portugal as he held down the left flank. He would not only have a decent day in the defense with his two tackles and three clearances, but would excel in the attack with a shot, four chances created and six crosses. The full-back continues to be a catalyst of energy for the Portugal squad, although he remains with his one goal contribution in four appearances.
