Will Spain win the World Cup 2026?

Austria were organised and relentless, but Spain kept the ball on a string and passed them dizzy. Normal service.

An Iberian heavyweight settled by the finest of margins, and Spain's midfield ran the show against the old rivals just as we called it. La Roja into the last eight and Ronaldo's tournament is done.

Called it. Belgium battled and had their moments, but Spain's midfield had the final say and the box-office semi with France is locked in.

We tipped France to shade it on the break, but Spain kept the ball on a string, smothered Mbappe and cruised into the final. The miss of the tournament, and La Roja suddenly look the side to beat.

England leave everything out there, but Spain are the complete side now, patient on the ball and ruthless on the counter. La Roja lift it and the wait goes on.
