Breaking: Defending champions France have defeated Morocco 2-0 to advance to the final, where they will take on Argentina

Didier Deschamps’ team enter some rarefied air in qualifying for consecutive World Cup finals. They’re the first team to do so since Brazil made three straight between 1994 and 2002 .

Before that, West Germany lost in 1982 and 1986 before finally lifting the trophy at Italia 1990. The Dutch - still yet to break their duck - lost to Argentina in 1978 four years after falling to the West Germans. Brazil and Italy the only nations to go two from two and defend their crown.Never mind that, the whistle brings an end to proceedings after 96 minutes almost exactly to the second. Commiserations to Morocco, what a tournament they have had.
