Phil Egan is back with Wednesday’s World Cup Daily, as Spain book their place in the World Cup final for the first time since 2010 after a dominant 2-0 win over France — and Didier Deschamps admits his side “didn’t turn up”.

It’s then all eyes on England v Argentina tonight as a rivalry for the ages is renewed, with Tuchel’s plan for Messi, Alexis Mac Allister walking back his pre-tournament comments, and Gary Lineker backing England to peak at the right time.

Plus, Shamrock Rovers make European history in Tallaght — overturning a two-goal deficit with a 5-1 win over Floriana — with reaction from Stephen Bradley and John McGovern.
