Spain, Argentina's Voyage At FIFA World Cup 2026

La Roja have enjoyed a remarkable run at the FIFA World Cup 2026, staying unbeaten throughout the tournament. Spain have conceded only once so far, against Belgium. Their campaign began with a cagey 0-0 draw against a resilient Cape Verde, but they bounced back strongly to top Group H with seven points.

In the Round of 32, Spain swept aside Austria with a commanding 3-0 win. Merino’s last-gasp strike then secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Portugal in the Round of 16. The quarter-final against Belgium proved tricky, yet Spain held firm to edge a 2-1 win. In the semi-final, they underlined their status as favourites by defeating France 2-0. Mikel Oyarzabal has been pivotal, leading Spain’s scoring charts with five goals and one assist.

Argentina, meanwhile, have also maintained their unbeaten streak, though defensive lapses have been evident. La Albiceleste topped Group J with a perfect nine points. They overcame Cape Verde 3-2 in the Round of 32, before edging Egypt 3-2 in a controversial Round of 16 clash. A 3-1 quarter-final win set up their semi-final showdown, where Argentina defied expectations to beat England 2-1. Lionel Messi remains the talisman, leading the team with eight goals and four assists.
