VikAZ: Southgate should stay as manager. But if he decides enough is enough, maybe consider Jurgen Klinsmann for the job. A serial winner as a player, rebooted Germany as a manager. He'd get this young generation of English players moving.

France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, speaking about Paris St Germain team-mates Kylian Mbappe and Achraf Hakimi facing each other:

"It may be more difficult to face a team-mate because you know each other so well. But this is France against Morocco - it is a match against two strong football sides, two talented teams and each side has it's objective - to qualify for the final."

France

France are about to start their World Cup semi-final news conference in Qatar. Didier Deschamps and Hugo Lloris are up.

If things had worked out differently, it would have been Gareth Southgate and Harry Kane facing the media.

England

Will Gareth Southgate lead England at the Euro 2024?

Southgate says he is "conflicted" about his future, having "found large parts of the last 18 months difficult".

The Three Lions were knocked out of the World Cup on Saturday, losing 2-1 to France in the quarter-finals.

Afterwards, he said he would "review and relfect" before deciding whether to carry on in the role.

"I don't want to be four, five months down the line thinking I've made the wrong call," added the 52-year-old.

"It's too important for everybody to get that wrong."

Morocco and QPR midfielder Ilias Chair, speaking about his manager Walid Regragui:

"I think he has shown that he is the best manager at this tournament, not just as a coach but as a man.

"Whenever you have a problem, we, the players, can go to him. In that moment he is our dad or our big brother, not just a coach. Tomorrow, I think he will show to the world he is the best man for this job."

Scrawny: If only there was a winning coach already under contract with the FA, someone who won the Euros twice with different teams.

Fifa has been accused over a failure to provide funds for workers, according to Tuesday's Guardian.

Morocco manager Walid Regragui:

"We are a very passionate people. At least 20,000 people are going to come here to watch the match. It shows the passion we have for football. If we can show that, that is fantastic. If we can make young people around the world dream then that is fantastic.

"Morocco is a wonderful country. We are a welcoming people, we are generous. We are showing what Moroccan people are to people around the world. Football has given us the opportunity to do that and for that we are grateful."

Magi chat: Southgate just needs to get rid of his overly cautious first phase of the game, the opposition gets too settled in, watching us pass it across the back four. When he does finally change it up a gear, we are great going forward. We have players that would walking into any squad in the last 20 years. We should be doing better.

Morocco manager Walid Regragui:

"We want to get to final. We are not just going through the motions, we aren't satisfied with being the first African nation to make the semi-finals, we want to go further.

"We are facing the best team in the world but we are focussed on what we want to achieve. This is a one-off game, after all.

"When you have passion, desire and focus and have the fans on your side, you can achieve anything. We believe we can win it."

A reminder that Morocco have been holding a news conference this morning before their World Cup semi-final with France on Wednesday.

Age of Unenlightenment: A succession of weak managers has been the problem since Bobby Robson. We could have been world beaters with the right leadership. Southgate appears successful, but it's only been down to the luck of the draw.

Morocco manager Walid Regragui, speaking ahead of Wednesday's World Cup semi-final against France:

"I tried to build a team spirit but the credit must go to the players. That spirit has helped us go far. Tactically we had to be straight forward - being organised and being confident.

"The players have believed in this project. I have found a great bunch of lads who have served their country well."

Gareth Southgate is entitled to take his time and mull things over. It has been a difficult few months going into the World Cup and I think it's fair to say expectations were not overly high on the back of the Nations League results.

I think possibly Gareth has been surprised by the level of performance from England.

I just wonder at the end of this tournament whether he's thinking 'blimey, I'm going to take my time but I feel the team is still making progress and I can achieve something with that'.

Morocco boss Walid Regragui, speaking about his country's supporters before Wednesday's World Cup semi-final against France:

"We will bring 20,000 fans. These are crazy guys. They are the best fans in the world and tomorrow we will introduce them to the world. They are the best fans."

On his dual heritage after being born in France: "Yes I was born in France. I am a dual national and that is an honour and a pleasure. It does not matter who we are playing, we want to make the final.

"It is a challenge to play the best team in the world. It doesn't matter who we are playing when we play for Morocco - we are Morocco.

"It is a football match, a festival of football. If it is Morocco or France who wins, I am sure many of those dual nationals will be happy either way."

Mike: This team will not be kids at the next tournament, they need someone more ruthless and tactically astute. Southgate is too nice.

More from Morocco manager Walid Regragui, speaking before Wednesday's World Cup semi-final against France:

"We are a very ambitious, hungry team. I am not sure if that is going to be enough, but we hope that it will be. We want to put Africa on top of the world. I am not crazy though, I know that is going to be tough."

Gareth Southgate has always spoken impressively when asked to comment on issues such as racism and human rights, but perhaps the expectations, responsibilities and pressure that accompany one of the highest-profile and most scrutinised jobs in football has taken a toll.

And the criticism of some fans as the team's form slumped earlier this year clearly had an impact.

Southgate has been at the FA for more than a decade now and while his stock is high, and after a well-earned break, maybe he could be temped by an opportunity to prove a point and return to club management, perhaps in the US or Europe, if not England.

Morocco manager Walid Regragui, speaking ahead of Wednesday's World Cup semi-final against France:

"Unfortunately for us France have many good players, not just Kylian Mbappe. They have Antoine Griezmann and many other good players.

"So I am not just going to focus on Mbappe. We are going to play as a team."

John West: Gareth Southgate should resign now. He's had his opportunity with middling outcomes. The full potential of the young players is not going to be realised if he stays.
