I wouldn't write off Belgium. They don't have their "golden generation" anymore but that seems to be a positive thing for them, they work as a team now rather than as a group of individuals, and so far they've looked like a very cohesive team to me. I mean I don't really expect them to go to the finals since it's almost always the few usual suspects that get there, but I could see them getting past Spain and going to the semis.

Spain 2-1 Belgium

So first semi is set France Vs Spain.

Lil tricky for France but I think they'll beat Spain.

The others, for financial reasons Fifa would want Argentina vs England, old wounds of 1986, they can build a story on that one.

I don't think people should underestimate Haaland and co, they are a decent side. England defense is bit suspect and imo they'll be anxious around the viking.

I think that game may go to ET or pens.

As for Arg vs Swit, yup Messi will score again and they'll win 2-1. Yawn...

The semi's are -
FRANCE v SPAIN                    (tuesday)
ENGLAND v ARGENTINA.        (wednesday)

Yup still think we're looking at a France Vs England final. Eng/Arg similar type teams so it will be evenly balanced but Eng should edge it.

Spain are an interesting side, some decent wins en route to semis against Portugal and Belgium. You never know they may cause an upset.
