Spain manager Luis de la Fuente praised his team's character and unity after a commanding 2-0 win over France in the World Cup semifinal on Tuesday, which he said revived the spirit of their 2010 triumph. Spain, who won their first World Cup 16 years ago, neutralized a France attack that had scored 16 goals before the semifinal and was considered one of the tournament's most dangerous. France, spearheaded by Kylian Mbappe and pre-tournament favorites, did not manage a shot on target until after the 80-minute mark, missing the opportunity to reach a third consecutive final.
