‘Invincible Armada’ Spain completely defeated ‘Art Soccer’ France and got one step closer to winning its second World Cup. Spain defeated France 2-0 in the semifinals of the 2026 North and Central America World Cup held at Dallas Stadium in the U.S. on the 15th (Korean time). With this, Spain advanced to the finals 16 years after the 2010 South Africa tournament, where it reached the top for the first time in history. Also, it lost 0-1 to Colombia in March 2024. Since then, they have gone undefeated in 37 consecutive A matches (28 wins, 9 draws). In addition, they have maintained their advantage with 3 consecutive wins against France recently. Spain will compete for the championship against the winner of the England-Argentina match at the New York/New Jersey Stadium on the 20th. On the other hand, since West Germany (1982, 1986, 1990) and Brazil (1994, 1998, 2002), Spain has maintained its dominance. France, which was aiming to advance to the World Cup finals for the third time in a row, bowed out in the semifinals. France will play the 3rd and 4th place match against the loser of the England-Argentina match at Miami Stadium on the 19th. It was Spain that broke the tight balance. 20 minutes into the first half.
