Spain ended France's dream of a third World Cup triumph on July 15, taming their star-studded attack in a 2-0 victory to reach the final against England or Argentina.
Didier Deschamps' men were hot favourites to lift the trophy after a string of breathtaking attacking displays in the United States but they met their match against the slick European champions in the semi-finals.
