2026 World Cup: France one match away from equaling Brazil and Germany with three consecutive finals

France faces Spain in the 2026 World Cup semi-final on Tuesday, July 14 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. A win would give Les Bleus their third consecutive final, a feat only achieved by Germany (1982-1990) and Brazil (1994-2002). Unbeaten in the tournament with six wins and 16 goals, France relies on Kylian Mbappé, who has 20 World Cup goals, one short of Messi's record. Spain, the 2024 European champion, has conceded only one goal in this World Cup.
