Dan’s Semi-Final Picks

France 0-0 SpainSpain might hold the only defense capable of frustrating France’s attack. They have allowed just one goal all tournament, not because of last-ditch saves but by controlling possession. The less time the opponent has the ball, the safer the defense feels.France boasts so much offensive talent that eventually, they’ll create something special. It depends on how much time they get on the ball.England 1-0 ArgentinaIt’s odd these teams don’t get more credit, especially since Argentina is the reigning world champion. Critics seem eager to find faults, but if you question how your nation reached the semis, why watch the sport?Both squads show grit and resilience. England likely have more players who can change the course of the game and a stronger bench. If they focus on the match rather than the occasion, the Three Lions should prevail.

The tension rises with only four players left vying for the title. Who do you see advancing to the final? Do Dan’s predictions align with your views? Share your thoughts below.
