Let’s check out the odds for the semifinal matchup already in place:<\/p>\n
TUESDAY, JULY 14<\/strong><\/p>\n Spain vs. France<\/strong><\/p>\n To Advance: FRA -148, ESP +120 What to know: <\/strong>Do heavyweight bouts get heavier than this? France is outscoring opponents 16-2 overall during this tournament, while Spain is outscoring its rivals 11-1. The French are favored to win the World Cup, and Spain is second on that oddsboard. France’s Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 is favored to win both the Golden Boot and Golden Ball, and Michael Olise is leading the tournament in assists. Meanwhile, Spain’s Unai Simon is favored to win the Golden Glove and Lamine Yamal is favored to win Young Player of the Tournament. In other words, these teams are as star-studded as it gets. Buckle up.<\/p>\n WEDNESDAY, JULY 15<\/strong><\/p>\n England vs. Argentina<\/strong><\/p>\n To Advance: ENG -130, ARG +106 What to know: <\/strong>England has reached the World Cup semifinal for the fourth time, and for the second time in the last three World Cups. After another comeback win over Norway, Three Lions has matched its record for the most victories in a single World Cup tournament (five), which was set during the 1966 championship run. England joined France in this tournament as the only teams with two players to score five or more goals each (Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham). Meanwhile, Argentina has now made the semifinals in back-to-back World Cups. However, the journey to get here has not been easy. In the Round of 32, La Albiceleste had to fend off a ferocious Cape Verde squad in extra time. In the Round of 16, Argentina trailed by two goals with just over 10 minutes to go against Egypt before pulling off one of the most improbable comebacks in tournament history. And then on Saturday night, Switzerland leveled the score with a 67th minute equalizer before Breel Embolo was sent off with his second yellow card just minutes later. After tense moments throughout the end of regulation and extra time, Argentina once again found a way to pull through.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" POPULAR SEARCHES BROWSE BY How lucky are we?\u00a0 The semifinals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup are set and for the first time in World Cup history, all four of FIFA\u2019s top four-ranked teams entering the tournament have reached the semis. \u00a0 France became the first nation to clinch a spot in the semifinals after […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":6592,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6593","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-soccer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/play-live.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6593","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/play-live.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/play-live.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/play-live.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6593"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/play-live.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6593\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/play-live.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6592"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/play-live.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6593"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/play-live.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6593"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/play-live.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6593"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
