#世界杯冠军预测 2026 World Cup, who will lift the trophy?

The 2026 World Cup quarterfinal matchups are set, and four blockbuster clashes are about to take place—France vs Morocco, Spain vs Belgium, Norway vs England, and Argentina vs Switzerland.

Highlights & Analysis
France vs Morocco: Defending champion France has the deepest squad in this tournament, with Kylian Mbappé in scorching form (7 goals). Ousmane Dembélé has 4 goals and 2 assists, with a dual-engine driving the attack. Although Morocco looks like a real dark horse, facing France’s experience and firepower, France is expected to open up the scoreline in the second half.
Spain vs Belgium: Spain’s high-pressing and possession system meets Belgium’s aging “golden generation.”
Spain topped the group with 7 points to qualify; led by Yamal, their new and rising squad has strong attacking impetus. Belgium, meanwhile, relies on veterans such as De Bruyne and Lukaku, where fitness and duels may be potential weak points.
Norway vs England: Haaland’s 7-goal attacking firepower is the biggest test for England’s back line. For England, Kane has 6 goals (including 2 penalties), Bellingham has 4 goals, and the overall squad looks more balanced. Norway’s counterattacks are sharp, but England’s midfield control and set-piece threat could prove decisive.
Argentina vs Switzerland: Messi leads the Golden Boot race with 8 goals, while Álvarez and Enzo Fernández are in excellent form. Argentina has shown “champion quality” on both ends of the pitch; Switzerland is known for tight organization, but with Messi’s creativity and Argentina’s transition speed, they may struggle to cope.

Judging by squad depth, star form, and knockout experience, France, Spain, England, and Argentina have higher chances of advancing. However, Morocco and Switzerland’s defensive resilience should not be underestimated, and the matches could be more tightly contested than expected.

Title favorites: France, Spain, and Argentina are in Tier 1; England closely follows. In the Golden Boot race, Messi leads with 8 goals, while Mbappé and Haaland are separated by a narrow gap of 7 goals—leaving the final outcome still up in the air.
