On Tuesday (July 14,2026) Spain beat France 2-0 to reach their first World Cup final since winning their only title in 2010. A day later, Argentina came from behind to beat England 2-1, keeping alive the defending champions’ hopes of a second successive crown.
Spain, fondly known as La Roja, qualified for the tournament by topping their group in UEFA qualifying. Argentina, the reigning champions from Qatar 2022 and known as La Albiceleste, secured their berth after a 0-0 draw between Bolivia and Uruguay went in their favour.
In the group stage, Argentina won all three matches — 3-0 against Algeria, 2-0 against Austria and 3-1 against Jordan — topping the group to advance to the knockout rounds.
The knockout stages tested Argentina’s resilience. Cabo Verde pushed them to extra time in the round of 32 before Argentina prevailed 3-2. Egypt then built a 2-0 lead in the round of 16 — a match marred by controversial VAR interventions — before Argentina fought back to win 3-2. Switzerland forced extra time in the quarter-final despite playing over an hour with ten men, but Argentina held on to win 3-1. In the semi-final, two late goals sealed a dramatic 2-1 comeback win over England.
