Spain are heading to the two thousand twenty six World Cup final after dismantling France in a semifinal that left the football world stunned. France came in as the tournament's most dominant side, but Didier Deschamps got it tactically wrong from the first whistle, and a French squad that looked unbeatable suddenly had no answers. Pedro Porro and Rodri were the standouts for Spain, controlling the game in every phase and exposing just how fragile France's confidence really was beneath the surface.
Shifting to the other semifinal, and England are on the brink of something they haven't touched in sixty years — a World Cup final appearance. Standing in their way is Lionel Messi and the reigning champion Argentina, with the two sides set to collide in Atlanta on Wednesday. Harry Kane leads the English charge, but the subplot here is the tension between Jude Bellingham and coach Thomas Tuchel, two strong personalities who don't always agree — and in a match this big, that dynamic could define everything.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
