#世界杯冠军预测 The 2026 FIFA World Cup semifinals in the US, Canada, and Mexico are already set: France, Spain, England, and Argentina. Since the FIFA world rankings were introduced in 1993, this is the first time in history that the top 4 teams in the FIFA world standings have swept the World Cup semifinals. The semifinal matchups and championship predictions are as follows:

July 15 03:00 (Beijing Time): France vs Spain
This is a clash between possession-based football and power-and-attack football.
I slightly favor France to advance: they have a more balanced attack-and-defense setup, and Mbappé’s explosive power in the knockout stage and experience in major tournaments are key advantages; however, Spain’s defensive discipline is strong, and the match won’t be easy.
July 16 03:00 (Beijing Time): England vs Argentina
This matchup is very close in terms of outcome.
I slightly favor Argentina. The core reason is that the veteran squad led by Messi has more ruthlessness and psychological resilience in knockout matches; but Bellingham is in top form, and England is young with strong pressure-handling ability—either side could force the game into its own rhythm at any time.
If the current momentum carries through to the final, France has the highest chance of winning the championship: they lead in overall strength, squad depth, and stability in high-pressure matches. Argentina is next in line and has a chance; if Spain can get past France, there’s also room to imagine a title run.
