England and Argentina make up the other team in the group and will face each other on Wednesday in Atlanta. French superstar Kylian Mbappé is in the running for the Golden Boot awarded to the tournament’s top scorer, as well as the Ballon d’Or awarded to the most outstanding player. Spain has seen players such as Lamine Yamal and Mikel Oyarzabal carry the offensive load for La Roja as they aim to return to their first final since winning it all in 2010. Who are the referees for France vs Spain? Iván Barton, from El Salvador, will be the head referee between France and Spain in Dallas. Barton’s experience includes refereeing numerous matches in CONCACAF competitions such as the Nations League and Gold Cup. His first World Cup tournament was in 2022 in Qatar, and he has already refereed three matches at this World Cup, with Tuesday’s semi-final now being his fourth assignment. Barton refereed the Paraguay v Turkey group stage match, in which he sent off Paraguayan midfielder Miguel Almirón to become the first player to receive a red card at the World Cup for covering his mouth. The infraction occurred during stoppage time in the first half of the Group D match, when Almirón and Mert Mulder exchanged words following a foul near midfield. Almiron covered his mouth while saying something to Mulder, who immediately appealed to referee Barton for punishment. Barton reviewed the video and quickly decided that Almiron would receive a red card and be sent off under a new rule put in place for this year’s World Cup to prevent players from engaging in verbal abuse.
