In just two days, we'll know exactly which two nations will be playing in the 2026 World Cup final.
The first semifinal takes place in Arlington, Texas, where traditional powers France and Spain square off on Tuesday, July 14 for a spot in Sunday's championship match.
These two rivals have seemingly been on a collision course from the moment the World Cup bracket was announced.
France is perhaps playing the best of any team entering the semifinals. Les Bleus are coming off a dominant 2-0 defeat of Morocco with star forward Kylian Mbappe scoring his eighth goal of the tournament.
Meanwhile, Spain has relied on a stout defense to get within one win of the title game. Despite yielding its first goal of the tourney, La Roja got a clutch late goal from Mikel Merino for a 2-1 quarterfinal victory over Belgium, extending its unbeaten streak to 37 matches.
