Since the opening round, La Roja have outscored opponents by a wide margin and have not lost a competitive fixture since a Euro qualifier defeat to Scotland in March 2023, a run that has now stretched to 37 matches unbeaten across all competitions.<\/p>\n  <p>The semifinal win over France was the third consecutive summer in which Spain has eliminated Les Bleus at a major tournament, following victories at Euro 2024 and last year&#8217;s Nations League. Manager Luis de la Fuente has repeatedly credited the squad&#8217;s tactical discipline and midfield control \u2014 anchored by Rodri, Pedri, and Fabi\u00e1n Ruiz \u2014 as the platform for the run, with teenage winger Lamine Yamal supplying the unpredictability up front.<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"wc-quote\">\n    <p>&#8220;We said from the start that we came here to win it.&#8221;<\/p>\n    <cite>\u2014 Pedri, Spain midfielder, on the squad&#8217;s mentality entering the tournament<\/cite>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <p>Statistical models have consistently ranked Spain among the top contenders throughout the tournament. Long before a ball was kicked, Opta&#8217;s pre-tournament supercomputer simulation \u2014 run 25,000 times \u2014 rated Spain as the single most likely champion, ahead of France, England, and Argentina, each of whom cleared double-digit win probabilities of their own.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- SEMIFINAL 2 -->\n<div class=\"wc-section\" id=\"semifinal\">\n  <h2>England vs Argentina: The Match That Decides the Final<\/h2>\n  <p>England and Argentina meet for the first time at a major tournament since 2002, renewing one of international football&#8217;s most storied rivalries with a World Cup final place on the line. Argentina arrive as defending champions, with Lionel Messi in outstanding form \u2014 including a hat-trick in the tournament opener \u2014 and Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez and Lautaro Mart\u00ednez sharing the goalscoring load through the knockout rounds.<\/p>\n  <p>England&#8217;s route has been less spectacular but notably resilient: Thomas Tuchel&#8217;s side needed extra time or late goals to get past DR Congo, Mexico, and Norway in the knockout rounds, with Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane the standout performers. Betting markets have priced the tie as close to a coin flip, with England holding a slight edge heading into kick-off.<\/p>\n  <div class=\"wc-table-wrap\">\n    <table class=\"wc-table\">\n      <tr><th>Factor<\/th><th>England<\/th><th>Argentina<\/th><\/tr>\n      <tr><td>Tournament so far<\/td><td>Gritty, defensively resolute, reliant on late goals<\/td><td>High-scoring, Messi-driven, dominant in midfield<\/td><\/tr>\n      <tr><td>Key players<\/td><td>Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane, Declan Rice<\/td><td>Lionel Messi, Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez, Lautaro Mart\u00ednez<\/td><\/tr>\n      <tr><td>Path to the semifinal<\/td><td>DR Congo, Mexico, Norway (two via extra time)<\/td><td>Algeria, Austria, Jordan, Cabo Verde, Egypt, Switzerland<\/td><\/tr>\n      <tr><td>Historical head-to-head<\/td><td>6 wins, 5 draws, 3 losses (14 meetings)<\/td><td>\u2014<\/td><\/tr>\n    <\/table>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- EXPERT VIEWS -->\n<div class=\"wc-section\" id=\"experts\">\n  <h2>What the Experts Are Saying<\/h2>\n  <p>We reviewed analysis from six football experts and analytical services spanning data science, professional punditry, and the betting industry to gauge where informed opinion sits heading into the final stretch.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>1. Dan Tracey \u2014 Sports Data Analyst, Real Football Filter<\/h3>\n  <p>Tracey backed Spain before a ball was kicked and has been vindicated by their run to the final, pointing to squad freshness as a decisive factor.<\/p>\n  <div class=\"wc-quote\">\n    <p>&#8220;I have Spain down to win this year&#8217;s edition of the World Cup.&#8221;<\/p>\n    <cite>\u2014 Dan Tracey, Real Football Filter<\/cite>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <h3>2. Nate Silver \u2014 Statistician, creator of the PELE forecasting model<\/h3>\n  <p>Silver&#8217;s simulation model, which replays the tournament 100,000 times after every match, had Argentina and Spain as co-favourites entering the knockout rounds. Following Spain&#8217;s win over France, his model highlights Spain&#8217;s dominant underlying numbers \u2014 including a goal difference of 13-1 through the semifinal \u2014 as the strongest statistical case in the tournament.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>3. Opta Supercomputer<\/h3>\n  <p>Opta&#8217;s predictive model, built on 25,000 simulated tournaments, rated Spain the most likely pre-tournament champion at roughly 16% \u2014 narrowly ahead of France, England, and Argentina, each of which cleared double digits. The model also flagged England as most likely of the &#8220;big four&#8221; to reach the quarterfinals, a projection that has held up.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>4. Kalshi Prediction Market<\/h3>\n  <p>Regulated prediction markets, where traders take real positions on outcomes rather than simply setting bookmaker prices, currently price Spain at roughly a 58% chance of winning the tournament outright, with England and Argentina both in the low-20s ahead of their semifinal.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>5. Frank Monkhouse \u2014 Betting Analyst, Flashscore<\/h3>\n  <p>Monkhouse&#8217;s pre-final case rested on France&#8217;s recent tournament pedigree, noting their appearances in the previous two World Cup finals as a reason to back them again. That underlying logic is now moot following France&#8217;s semifinal exit, but it remains a useful illustration of why recent tournament experience alone doesn&#8217;t guarantee results \u2014 a point worth remembering for bettors weighing historical form against current momentum.<\/p>\n  <div class=\"wc-quote\">\n    <p>&#8220;France have played in each of the last two World Cup finals.&#8221;<\/p>\n    <cite>\u2014 Frank Monkhouse, Flashscore betting analyst<\/cite>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <h3>6. Yousef Mahmoud \u2014 Assistant Football Coach &amp; Performance Analyst, Al Arabi FC<\/h3>\n  <p>Mahmoud&#8217;s early-tournament assessment identified a cluster of four genuine contenders \u2014 Spain, France, England, and Argentina \u2014 as clearly a level above the rest of the field, a grouping that has proven accurate through to the semifinal stage, with all four represented in this week&#8217;s final four.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- GOLDEN BOOT -->\n<div class=\"wc-section\" id=\"golden-boot\">\n  <h2>Golden Boot Race<\/h2>\n  <p>With Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 eliminated alongside France, the race for the tournament&#8217;s top scorer has tightened considerably.
