France versus Spain:

Spain will edge France...the Spanish are the most tactically disciplined team and don't give away goals easily.

England versus Argentinab :

This Argentina side have shown lapses in defense that the three lions will definitely exploit through Harry Kane, saka and Jude Bellingham. k
The Messi factor is always there, but I think he will be bottled in this match.

England will edge Argentina.

First Time I Will Quote You but I Will Go With Argentina Bottling England 🤐🙄
Ok we’re going to see undecided

Viva Argentina 🇦🇷 ❤️

Argentina never even play better country, they are not invincible as they look

Their toughest test was this Switzerland and again a var review to favor them.
( I will be my last scent, if embolo was Argentinan, there would have being no var review)
They found a loophole and they pounced on it.
They literally swam their way to this point.
It's unbelievable how rigged this can be

What happened to the other 'proper footballing nations'? They were either kicked out by nations that are not proper footballing or never even qualified to start with.

you are talking about king of the first Men Lord of the seven realms, Lionel Cuticini Andres Messi, the first of his name.
Apart from Lionel scaloni at the sidelines, Messi is another player and coach in the field.
He knows when to change wing in order to change the outcome of a match

Y'all stigmatising Argentina saw no wrong in England v Norway match right?

The disallowed goal
The Spence dive/simulation to win a penalty without getting a yellow card.
The Jude Bellingham first goal.

Smh!! Typical human nature of sentiment cos of hate.

Wow! I couldn't get myself to watch the rest of the match after the first 30mins.
I guess I missed out on a lot of actions

Who else has noticed that there hasn't been any upset in this year's WC?

Brazil vs Norway, to me, wasn't an upset cos we all knew Brazil went into the game with name or past glory, and not form.

Almost all the matches have been won by the favorites. Even the WC favorite is looking poised to winning the trophy.

Will France make it three finals in a row? Could this be England's time? Will a bronze medal complete Messi's world cup collection? Can Spain win France for the third time in a row or are we going to see a repeat of last world cup's final?

One of these questions is a yes. I see france making a treble world cup final. I see france Argentina again but this time, France is coming for a revenge mission.

Spain attacker Borja Iglesias on former Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy saying France have no French players.

"Frankly, it surprised me. I'm stunned that we are still facing this kind of problem."

"I can understand that he didn't say it with bad intention, I understand France's multiculturalism as a richness."

The Semi-finalists' journey

Re: Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Thread by BlockBlastSolve: 8:49am On Jul 14

France vs England final would be massive. Both teams have looked solid, and it would be a proper clash of styles. Argentina have scraped through a few times, so England might just have the edge if they press early. Spain could also surprise France if they control the midfield. Either way, these semifinals are going to be intense. Hard to call, but I'm leaning towards France vs England.

Spain Qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final After Beating France 2-0

Spain are through to the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final after a superb 2-0 victory over France in the semi-final.

The Spaniards dominated the game and deserved their place in the final with an impressive all-round performance.

Goalscorers:
⚽ Mikel Oyarzabal (22') – Penalty
⚽ Pedro Porro (58')

France, despite having stars like Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé, couldn't break down Spain's disciplined defence as La Roja comfortably booked their place in the final.

Spain will now face the winner of the second semi-final between Argentina and England in the FIFA World Cup Final.

Can Spain go all the way and lift their second World Cup trophy?

Spain are a well organized team and I don't see anyone stopping them from winning that trophy... overhyped France crumbled upon meeting the first litmus/proper test......I am expecting England to defeat Argentina but I am also thinking that Argentina have a better chance against Spain compared to England... should England advance, I would be expecting Spain to win that Final comfortably tho .

All in all I would want Messi to go ahead and clinch either the golden boot or player of the tournament award again or both even if his team fails to win the trophy.....as far as pendu has been sent home, I've been enjoying and will continue enjoying this world cup regardless of the outcome.

Spain will most likely defeat England comfortably.....I think Argentina would be more of a threat to them based of playing pattern analysis but I am not expecting Argentina to get past England.

Looks like the fixtures were arranged to favour Argentina

You are all just talking rubbish up and down as if rat don commot that thing for una inner heads. Why do you like hating on someone who is glaringly doing well? There are no football underdogs any more o. Na the supposed underdogs dey even spoil matter for big teams. They call them spoilers. Them no go enter,but anyone wey wan enter, dem no go gree am. We know Arg are likely to get whipped by England, but let us rest with all this lazy unguided and unreasonable chochocho here and there. If he had scored the 2 penalties he missed, which would have made his goals 10 in this Mundial, I wonder what you guys would have done. You would have be ranting about him stealing the penalties from your Penaldo. You are all pained and must remain in your pains as long as you deliberately wanna remain in your state of hate and delusion. Rubbish!
