#世界杯冠军预测 2026 World Cup quarterfinalists revealed: Europe takes 6 spots, Argentina the lone braveheart, Morocco: "So I'm just here to fill the numbers?"
July 8, Beijing time — After Switzerland eliminated Colombia 4-3 on penalties, the 2026 USA-Mexico-Canada World Cup quarterfinal lineup is set.
Here's the list:
🇫🇷 France 🇪🇸 Spain 🏴 England 🇧🇪 Belgium 🇳🇴 Norway 🇨🇭 Switzerland
🇦🇷 Argentina (Sole South American survivor)
🇲🇦 Morocco (Sole African survivor)
See that? 8 spots, Europe takes 6. This isn't a World Cup quarterfinal — it's a European Championship with two guest players to liven things up!
🌍 The hosts ran a full lap, only to realize they're the cheerleading squad
The US, Canada, and Mexico co-hosted — result: US 1-4 taught a lesson by Belgium, Canada 0-3 blanked by Morocco, Mexico 2-3 lost to England. All three hosts bundled out in the round of 16. Billions spent building the stage, and the main characters are all from other countries — a classic "I'll treat you, you enjoy yourselves" scene.
💀 Traditional powerhouses: Gone in a flash
Brazil 1-2 upset by Norway (Haaland: "Didn't see that coming?"), Germany and Portugal went home one after another, Cristiano Ronaldo's final World Cup ended in the round of 16 after a loss to Spain. They said "expanding the tournament makes it more exciting" — turns out it's Europe slaughtering each other internally, with non-European giants dropping out one by one.
🎭 Quarterfinal vibe translation
France, Spain, England, Belgium: European aristocrats politely sipping tea, waiting to see who flinches first.
Norway: First time in the quarterfinals — Haaland carrying all of Scandinavia to play a "mini Euros," mindset: "No one expects anything from me anyway."
Switzerland: Sent Colombia home via penalty shootout, quietly making bank — the classic "you think I'm a pushover, but I'm a brick wall."
Morocco: Quarterfinalists for the second consecutive tournament, Africa's last spark. Facing France is a replay of the 2022 semifinal — all of Africa is waiting for you to take revenge.
Argentina: The only South American survivor. Messi, 39 years old, still leading the team to come from 2-0 down to beat Egypt. The Pampas Eagles have now become "Dragon Slayers" — except there are five and a half dragons, and you also need to watch out for the Swiss watchmakers.
⚔ Quarterfinal matchups at a glance
France 🆚 Morocco — Rematch of the last semifinal, Africa's light challenges the defending runner-up
Spain 🆚 Belgium — Possession battle, see who puts the other to sleep first
Norway 🆚 England — Haaland vs. Kane, can the fairy tale reach the semifinals?
Argentina 🆚 Switzerland — Messi's first hurdle; beat them first, then talk about "charging at the Europeans again"
🎤 One last complaint
FIFA expanded the World Cup to 48 teams, did all that fuss, and the quarterfinals look like this — Europe 6 spots, Argentina and Morocco watching Europeans hold an internal seminar. The World Cup trophy will most likely head back to Europe. Might as well rename this "The 2026 New Version European Championship (North America Branch)," save on printing tickets.
Of course, if Argentina really fights its way out of the six-team European horde… that script would be way tastier than the Euros.
Do you think Messi can lead Argentina to another title, or will France/Spain end the suspense early? Debate in the comments! 👇
On July 8th Beijing time, after Switzerland beat Colombia 4-3 on penalties, the quarterfinalists of the 2026 USA-Canada-Mexico World Cup were officially set.
First, let's list them out:
🇫🇷France 🇪🇸Spain 🏴England 🇧🇪Belgium 🇳🇴Norway 🇨🇭Switzerland
🇦🇷Argentina (sole South American representative)
🇲🇦Morocco (sole African representative)
See? 8 spots, Europe takes 6. This isn't a World Cup quarterfinal; it's the European Championship with two guest players warming up!
🌍 The host countries played a round, only to find themselves as the atmosphere crew
The three co-hosts USA, Canada, Mexico—result: USA lost 1-4 to Belgium, Canada 0-3 shut out by Morocco, Mexico lost 2-3 to England. All three hosts stopped at the Round of 16. After spending hundreds of billions on the stage, the protagonists are all from other countries—a classic "my treat, you have fun" scenario.
💀 Traditional powerhouses: gone in a flash
Brazil lost 1-2 to Norway in an upset (Haaland: didn't see that coming), Germany and Portugal went home one after another, Ronaldo's last World Cup ended in the Round of 16 losing to Spain. They said "expansion makes it more exciting," but it turned out to be European infighting first, with non-European powerhouses queuing up to exit.

France, Spain, England, Belgium: European aristocrats passing tea to each other, waiting to see who flinches first.
Norway: First time in the quarterfinals, Haaland carrying all of Scandinavia to play a "mini Euro," mentality is — nobody expects me to win anyway.
Switzerland: Sent Colombia home in a penalty shootout, quietly making gains, typical "you think I'm a soft touch but I'm actually a wall."
Morocco: In the quarterfinals for the second consecutive time, Africa's last spark. Facing France is a replay of the 2022 semifinal, all of Africa waiting for you to get revenge.
Argentina: The sole South American survivor. Messi is 39 years old and still leading the team to come back from 2-0 down to beat Egypt 3-2. The Pampas eagle now transforms into "Dragon Quest" — except there are five and a half dragons, and you also have to watch out for the Swiss watchmakers.
