Les Bleues Attempt to Halt Team USA

The United States made a dominant charge through the group stage and were arguably the most impressive team over the course of the first round, albeit a lot of that was down to their 13-0 hammering of Thailand.

France will have home advantage in Paris on Friday, but they've had to grind out results at times and haven't yet secured a statement victory.

There are positives to take from the United States' 2-1 victory to beat Spain in the last 16, too. 

Match of the Day noted Jennifer Hermoso's strike against the Stars and Stripes was the first they'd conceded so far at this World Cup:

Not including the 13 goals they put past Thailand, the United States' tally of five goals in their other Group F matches looks closer to average.

France built the bulk of their goal difference in a 4-0 opening win against South Korea, but one-goal wins against Norway and Nigeria—both decided via penalties—were a bit close for comfort.

Sportswriter Jeff Kassouf noted the United States are flying a sole flag for non-European teams in France:

Each of the other three quarter-finals are made up exclusively of European teams and guarantees at least one European nation in the final come July 7.

It's up to U.S. head coach Jill Ellis to ensure it's not an all-European affair, but she has come in for increased criticism.

Journalist Grant Wahl dissected the win over Spain and highlighted poor squad rotation as one area in which Ellis can improve:

The United States boast one of, if not the most deeply resourced squad at this World Cup. France have a host of stars ready to impress, including captain Amandine Henry and active top-scorer Eugenie Le Sommer (76 goals).

It would require a big upset for the titleholders to fall out of the running at this stage, but fellow contenders France look like one of the few teams capable of toppling Ellis' stars.
