2026 FIFA World Cup Roundup, Semifinals
The semifinals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup has concluded, featuring exciting games, impressive individual displays, and surprising outcomes. Below is a recap of the groups.
France 0-2 Spain
Spain dominated France with a 2-0 victory to advance to the FIFA World Cup final for only the second time in their history, having not won a knockout game since their 2010 championship. La Roja secured their sixth clean sheet in seven matches at this World Cup, setting up a final against Argentina. This final will be the first in the last three tournaments without France, leaving coach Deschamps disappointed on the day he became the first manager to oversee 26 World Cup matches.
England 1-2 Argentina
Argentina will have the opportunity to defend their FIFA World Cup title in Sunday’s final after a dramatic late comeback secured a 2-1 victory over England. This win also extends their record of advancing from all six of their previous World Cup semi-finals. England, on the other hand, will face France in Miami instead of reaching a third major tournament final in five years. Meanwhile, Lionel Scaloni aims to become only the second coach to win multiple World Cups as they prepare for the final in New York, marking their first encounter with Spain in this tournament since 1966.
