Morocco became the first nation to bow out of the last 8.
Already in the knockout stage, the FIFA World Cup 2026 keeps on producing interesting matchups. Now that the last few games are left, the matches will be more and more entertaining to watch.
The first quarterfinal game was played between France and Morocco. With their performance, Didier Deschamps’ men justified why they are one of the favourites to win the mega competition this year. They controlled the tempo and with their star-studded lineup, were a very tough side to break down.
This year the FIFA World Cup is taking place in Canada, Mexico and the USA. All of these nations have been eliminated and it will be interesting to see which team becomes the world champions. Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland and Lionel Messi are in a tight race for the Golden Boot at the 2026 World Cup. They are in great form at the moment and will play an important role for their nations in the rest of the tournament.
Only four spots are now left as the FIFA World Cup 2026 approaches the semifinal stage. The first spot has been secured by the French national football team. They have shown top performances and are on a six-match winning run at the moment. This year, the competition saw many records taken down and it also set new standards for the nations that were at the biggest stage of football for the first time.
