The Guardian FootballWorld Cup 2026 power rankings: who leads the pack as semi-finals loom?
We assess the teams who played in the last eight as the business end of the tournament approaches Didier Deschamps has seen it all before and certainly does not fear even the lowest of blocks. It is clear everyone is afraid of Les Bleus, which is understandable, and they are using it to their advantage. It is admirable how teams keep France quiet for lengthy periods but the game is too long to completely silence Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé.

The defending champions have taken two of their three knockout-round matches to extra-time. England awaits Argentina topple Swiss with two goals in extra time Switzerland hit out at VAR after ‘mistaken identity’ check Throughout the World Cup tournament – from the first match through to the 3-1 quarter-final win on Saturday – Lionel Scaloni has been asked one question over and over again: what does he consider the legacy of this Argentina side? Scaloni has been the head coach of Argentina for nearly eight years and his own personal legacy has long been solidified, as have those of many of his players on the pitch against Switzerland on Saturday night.

In the year and a half leading up to the kick-off, Donald Trump had threatened to annex tournament co-host Canada, and to invade the other co-host, Mexico; he was at war with one of the tournament’s participants, Iran. Harsh travel restrictions were preventing fans from Senegal, Ivory Coast and Haiti from getting visas. Ticket prices were outrageous. Hotels weren’t filling up as promised. Fifa was introducing “hydration breaks” during games, allowing TV commercials in what appeared to be a shameless cash grab that threatened the flow of play. Continue reading...
