Spanish Armada ready to stop The Blues in semis

Certain World Cup matches, although designated as semi-finals on the schedule, often take on the atmosphere, excitement, and significance of finals. The inaugural semi-final of the FIFA World Cup 2026, featuring France and Spain, exemplifies such an epic encounter.
