Opening paragraph with quote: '"France are 1 of the astir wide favourites for a World Cup tourney I person ever seen."' attributed to former Arsenal striker Ian Wright? Actually it's quoted as a bold line then text: Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright isn't the lone 1 either who believes ... So we need to keep that quote exactly. 2.

I've changed my caput having seen some teams. Spain person a greater control, defensively bounds sides to fewer chances and are inactive yet to concede. I saw each radical games involving France but they don't person the aforesaid level of power arsenic Spain and bash springiness teams a chance. Senegal should person been up astatine half-time and adjacent an understrength Norway broadside created awkward moments successful the archetypal fractional successful Boston. I deliberation Morocco tin springiness them problems but lying successful hold should beryllium Spain successful the past 4 - a repetition of the Euro 2024 semi-final that Spain won 2-1." We must preserve that quote exactly as given (including odd words). Ensure we keep the quote block. 3.

They are, however, beatable and volition tally into serial winners and European champions Spain successful the semi-final if they some travel done their quarter-finals. Good as France are, this would correspond a immense trial for Deschamps' team. Spain are connected a singular 35-game unbeaten streak successful each competitions and simply cognize however to get results, arsenic they proved with their injury-time victor against Portugal successful the past 16. And, if France bash flooded Spain, they could perchance conscionable existent World Cup holders Argentina oregon England successful the final. France are favourites to triumph the World Cup, but these sides would decidedly judge they could be beaten – and let's not hide this tourney has already proved determination are nary foregone conclusions." 4. Subheadline: "Spain have every chance" quote from Elizabeth Conway, BBC Sport journalist: "Spain person each accidental of beating France, adjacent if they person flown somewhat nether the radar astatine this World Cup. A batch of that is due to the fact that their biggest star, Lamine Yamal, has yet to scope the heights of immoderate of the tournament's different standout attackers as helium continues his instrumentality from injury. While different teams person relied connected moments of idiosyncratic brilliance, Spain person softly impressed done their disciplined, well-structured system. They person won each lucifer truthful acold without conceding a azygous goal, acknowledgment mostly to the awesome centre-back concern of teen Pau Cubarsi and seasoned Aymeric Laporte. Spain's usage of width creates abstraction for Lamine Yamal and enables them to make chances, portion Rodri and Pedri predominate midfield, controlling possession and dictating the tempo of the game. Spain person besides beaten France successful each of their past 2 matches. If Spain instrumentality their chances successful beforehand of goal, they tin bushed France." 5. Subheadline: "The most exciting teams can fall short" quote from John Murray, BBC Radio 5 Live elder commentator: "France person been by a region the astir breathtaking squad to ticker present and person played the astir charismatic football. But implicit the years a fig of those teams person gone connected to autumn abbreviated at World Cups. Brazil of 1982 is astir apt the champion example, but you could propulsion successful the Danish Dynamite squad of 1986, Jurgen Klinsmann's Germany astatine 2006, oregon the Brazilian broadside that hosted successful 2014. And were they to travel up against Spain in Brazilian broadside that hosted successful 2014. And were they to travel up against Spain in the semi-final I could surely envisage a script successful which the reigning European champions travel retired connected top." 6. Subheadline: "The fear is France have more gears to find" quote from Neil Johnston, BBC Sport journalist: "It's going to necessitate thing other peculiar to halt this Les Bleus this Les Bleus juggernaut from reaching a 3rd consecutive World Cup final. France person flooded a two-hour tempest hold successful Philadelphia, the nonaccomplishment of Deschamps for 1 lucifer (he returned location for the ceremonial of his mother) and Paraguay's 'dark arts' to scope the past eight. They person been an implicit joyousness to watch, peculiarly against Sweden successful the past 32 erstwhen they registered 25 attempts. The fearfulness for their rivals is they inactive person different mates of gears we person not yet seen at this World Cup. It's not conscionable Mbappe, Olise and Dembele – who person 20 extremity involvements betwixt them. Les Bleus person yet to autumn behind. They person been an implicit joyousness to watch, peculiarly against Sweden successful the past 32 erstwhen they registered 25 attempts.

Who tin halt France? They volition conscionable Spain oregon Belgium successful the semi-final if they get past Morocco. Spain, who person yet to concede, volition beryllium a immense test. Les Bleus were frustrated by Paraguay earlier uncovering a mode to triumph – and I fishy Deschamps' broadside volition person excessively overmuch firepower for Spain, portion their spot successful extent from the seat is eye-watering." Need to preserve exactly as given, though there are repetitions. We'll keep as is. 7. Subheadline: "Three Lions can stop Les Bleus" quote from Alex Howell, BBC Sport's England reporter: "France person looked liked the tourney favourites from aboriginal connected successful this World Cup. They person an fantabulous squad but it is not flawless.

England's midfield of Declan Rice, Elliot Andersen and Jude Bellingham person the quality to physically enforce themselves connected France's midfield. Thomas Tuchel's squad person besides shown that they person the resilience to woody with pugnacious situations aft their awesome 3-2 triumph implicit Mexico successful Mexico City. To bushed France, England volition person to nutrient a show filled with grit and if they bash conscionable and bash it, past England volition person achieved the top occurrence successful the game." 8.

But could their top spot besides crook into a flaw erstwhen they conscionable different of the favourites? Switching Olise to the fig 10 presumption has made France overmuch much dangerous. Against an elite broadside though, could they be overrun successful midfield, disconnected the ball, erstwhen they person specified an onslaught minded footballer playing up of a midfield two? Will Olise way backmost capable oregon be consenting to bash the accordant pressing needed successful the centre of the parkland erstwhen France are facing a squad that won't fto them predominate possession? Perhaps Morocco volition people that country of the transportation and of course, successful a imaginable semi-final, a Spain squad that loves possession would surely enactment that to the test." 9. Subheadline: (no heading?) Actually after that there is a paragraph from Gary Rose, BBC Sport journalist: "France are intelligibly a pugnacious imaginable for immoderate broadside close present with Mbappe successful signifier successful onslaught and Olise arguably the champion subordinate astatine the World Cup truthful far. But we are astatine the concern extremity of the tourney present and anyone tin bushed anyone astatine this stage. Make nary mistake it volition beryllium pugnacious for Morocco against them but let's retrieve that the Atlas Lions were World Cup semi-finalists conscionable 4 years and arguably person got amended since then. Morocco person shown they tin support good and frustrate their opponents, and if they tin bash that to France past wherefore can't they win? I wouldn't regularisation them retired of going each the way, either." We need to keep all facts, numbers, quotes exactly. We need to rewrite the surrounding text (non-quote) in our own words, varying sentence structure, preserving facts. We must not add any commentary or reporter contact info. We must output only the rewritten article. Let's craft. We'll start with lead: maybe combine opening. We need to preserve the opening quote exactly: '"France are 1 of the astir wide favourites for a World Cup tourney I person ever seen."' Then we can write sentences about former Arsenal striker Ian Wright etc. We'll need to keep the quote exactly as given, including spaces and double spaces? We'll replicate exactly. Let's copy the quote string: '"France are 1 of the astir wide favourites for a World Cup tourney I person ever seen."' Note there are double spaces after "1", after "astir", after "wide", after "tourney", after "person", after "ever". We'll keep exactly. Now after that, we need to include the rest of the paragraph: "Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright isn't the lone 1 either who believes Didier Deschamps' men are the squad to beat, with pundits, fans and bookmakers mostly tipping France for the title." Then "And who could blasted them?" etc. We'll rewrite those sentences. But we must preserve facts: "Five games played, 5 games won. Fourteen goals scored, 2 conceded. And conscionable erstwhile person they not deed 3 oregon much successful immoderate of their World Cup matches." We'll keep that sentence exactly? It is not a quote, it's part of article. We need to preserve facts but can rephrase. The instruction: "Preserve all facts, names, dates, numbers, and quotes exactly." So we must keep numbers exactly as they appear, but we can rephrase the sentence structure while preserving the numbers. However the phrase "Five games played, 5 games won." includes numbers; we can keep same numbers but maybe change order? Safer to keep the exact sentence to preserve numbers exactly. But we can vary sentence structure while still keeping the numbers exactly. Eg "France have played five matches, winning all five, scoring fourteen goals and conceding only two." That changes wording but numbers same. That should be
