Spain vs France: 2-1

Spain scored two goals on July 14th, while France failed to deliver a single successful goal. The two goalers from Spain were Mikel Oyarzabal at 22 minutes and Pedro Porro at 58 minutes of the match.

As per the FIFA highlights, France started as the slight favorites, and, though Kylian Mbappe threatened on the break, Lamine Yamal gave Luis de la Fuente's side the game's first big chance. The winger, a day after his 19th birthday, got to the ball before Lucas Digne and was clipped inside the box. Oyarzabal struck the resulting penalty past spot-kick-saving specialist Mike Maignan.

It added, the advantage was amplified when Porro played a palatial one-two with Dani Olmo, taking the return impeccably and burying the ball in the bottom corner.

Despite the loss, Mbappe is still among the potential players to win the adidas Golden Boot.

That being said, Spain has become the first finalist and will face either of the team between Argentina and England.

England Vs Argentina: AI Predictions

As per AI World Cup 2026 data, here are the top AI predictions for England vs Argentina:

Claude's model expects a tense, finely poised semi-final between two heavyweight sides that know how to manage big occasions. Argentina and England both carry knockout scars from extra-time battles and are unlikely to throw caution aside in Atlanta. With the stakes this high and extra time a real possibility, under 2.5 goals looks the sensible call.

Meanwhile, ChatGPT picks Argentina, the reigning champions, with Lionel Messi in the form of his life and a sixth successive semi-final behind them. Scaloni's side have shown ruthless resolve in the knockouts, and their big-game know-how tilts a close tie their way. England will push, but Argentina to win inside 90 minutes is the pick.

DeepSeek's model makes this a tight semi-final, with holders Argentina marginally favoured on pedigree and Lionel Messi's record-breaking form. Scaloni's champions have found a way through in extra time twice already and reached a sixth straight last four. England, driven by Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane under Tuchel, will fancy ending 60 years of hurt. With a draw heading to extra time, backing Argentina to avoid a 90-minute defeat is the measured call.

Gemini's model backs Argentina's disciplined defence to smother an England attack led by Kane and Bellingham. The champions have conceded sparingly deep into this run, and in a cautious semi-final England may find clear chances hard to come by. England to stay under 1.5 goals is the angle at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
