#世界杯冠军预测 World Cup semifinals fight for the title! Four championship scripts are unbelievably dreamy

Argentina beat Switzerland 3-1, with all World Cup quarterfinals now completed. The remaining four teams will face off in two groups: France vs Spain, and England vs Argentina. The four giants rush toward the trophy of the gods together.
After a month of competition, the teams that reached the World Cup semifinals are exactly the four biggest favorites predicted by pre-match institutions, but the outcome is not surprising. The France squad led by Mbappé and Dembélé has attacking power stronger than all opponents; the Spain squad led by Lamine Yamal, Pedri, and Rodri has control over matches unmatched by anyone; the England squad led by Kane and Bellingham has broken the chain of internal infighting, having reached the semifinals twice in the past three World Cups; and Argentina, united with Messi, has moved to this point through experience and a team-vs-time battle.
At 3:00 a.m. on July 15, France will play Spain, the world No. 1. Spain is the world No. 3.
At 3:00 a.m. on July 16, Argentina will play England, the world No. 2, and England is the world No. 4.
In the history of the century-long World Cup, the most astonishing moment has occurred: for the first time, FIFA’s semifinal teams have all swept the semifinal spots together. It seems there is no “upset” team, and everything appears to have gone according to plan. Many people will ask: if there are no upset teams, are the semifinals missing a sense of excitement? The answer is exactly the opposite—every one of the four championship scripts is incredibly dreamy, and each is enough to make people long for it.
If France wins the title, this should be the script that best fits the public’s expectations. Judging by experience and paper strength, France belongs to Tier 1. Mbappé’s historical status would be elevated by one tier. He has participated in three World Cups, winning two titles and one runner-up finish, and he has scored 8 goals or more in consecutive World Cups. He is very likely to become the top scorer of the next World Cup. The Golden Ball voting would also become especially interesting. If France wins the trophy of the gods again, will the 2026 Golden Ball go to Mbappé? If it goes to Dembélé, he would become the first player in football history to win two UEFA Champions Leagues, two World Cups, and two Golden Balls. If it goes to Mbappé, he can rely on his outstanding performances in the World Cup to make a comeback, win the awards, and leave a deep mark in football history.
If Spain wins, 19-year-old Lamine Yamal will win the European Championship and the World Cup as champions within just two years, taking the path to becoming a god at a young age. The duo of Pedri and Rodri can also be compared to the Harvery and Iniesta of that era. Spain, after 16 years, stands at the top of the world—this is a victory for team football and technical football. If England wins, the decades-long chant of “football is home” will finally achieve its best result. England’s last World Cup title was in 1966. Sixty years later, two superstar icons—Kane and Bellingham—will become England’s totem stars, comparable to or even surpassing Bobby Charlton.
If England wins, it will break the century-old rule of the World Cup and bring even greater uproar. From 1930 to today, the coaches of World Cup-winning teams have always come from their own country—Beraldo, Lippi, Deschamps, Scaloni are all familiar names. Can German coach Tuchel create this miracle?
If Argentina wins, there’s no need for too much description. Messi will become the greatest superstar in football history, with no controversy at all—securely standing in a unique, unmatched position. That alone is enough to go down in history, becoming an eternal classic.
