The El Clasico of the 2026 World cup was played out today.
Safe to say, it left most people saying “wait,what …? “ afterwards.
France prior to the match, were supposed to be the favourites – by a landslide
France flew through this World Cup like Icarus taking flight,its wings woven from the dazzling talent of Mbappe,Dembele and Olise.They were confident that nothing could stop their ascent. Each victory lifted Les Bleus higher, until the semifinal against Spain felt less like another match and more like a chance to touch the sun itself.
But Alas for them..Spain became the unforgiving sun.They were relentless in possession, ruthless in precision, and too hot to handle. France’s confidence melted under the pressure, their rhythm disappeared, and the wings that had carried them so effortlessly through the tournament began to falter. By the final whistle, they had fallen, just as Icarus fell from the sky.
For France, the dream did not end because they lacked talent. It ended because they encountered a team whose control, patience, and composure burned brighter on the day.
19 year old Paul Cubarsi’s prodiguous talent left Mbappe baffled for most of the game.
Talking about 19 year old prodigies, Lamine Yamal never ceasef to amaze the fans with his fearless playstyle .
France will face-off against either England or Argentina depending on the results of semi-final 2. This brawl for bronze will be Didier Deschamps’ last game coaching France. He is voluntarily stepping down from this role after a fearsomely good career as France’s head coach.
For the first time since 2010, Spain has entered the world cup final. A celebratory moment for La Roja. Hopes are high that the reign of Spain may once again become plane ! (LP)
