Les Bleus advanced to the World Cup semi-finals for the third consecutive time on Thursday. Didier Deschamps’ side struggled for the first 45 minutes against Morocco’s defence before making the breakthrough in the second half thanks to Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé (2-0). They will face Spain or Belgium for a spot in the final.

Tadej Pogacar is still the king of the Tour. The 27-year-old won stage six of the Tour de France by crushing his rivals on the Col du Tourmalet. He reclaimed the yellow jersey with a 2-minute, 42-second lead over Jonas Vingegaard.

In tennis, the Wimbledon women’s final will be an all-Czech affair between Linda Noskova and Karolína Muchova, a source of great pride for a country of just 10 million inhabitants.
