The Semi-Finals Are ON - 4 Teams Left, What's Your Pick?

Okay this is the absolute BEST part about posting predictions now, because we're not completely spit-balling in the dark. We're down to 4 teams: France, Spain, England and defending champions, Argentina! Today is France vs Spain in Dallas and tomorrow we get England vs Argentina in Atlanta. From here it’s 2 wins to take it all on July 19th.

As far as the matchups are concerned, France coming into this from a commanding victory over Morocco with Mbappe having a monster of a tournament – by most statistical analysis they're the favorite heading into these games. Spain’s situation? They're taking a Lamine Yamal, a teen on the eve of his FIRST semifinal match in, uh, Spain? So either it’s pure brilliance, or the pressure is on. In the other bracket, Argentina's defence is essentially run by Messi's sheer goal production, and England is the surprise in the knockout rounds after stunning Norway.

Honestly, my heart says it all comes down to France and Argentina for the July 19th showdown, but I won’t discount Spain pulling off a shocker with Yamal dictating play – and I mean young doesn’t always equal frail.

What do you think – WHO lifts the trophy on the 19th? Is it the momentum France has built or Argentina trying to defend their title?
