France-Spain, as we find ourselves! Eleven months after the 2-1 victory of La Roja against the Blues in the semi-finals of Euro 2024, in the case of Bayern Munich, with a sensational goal from Lamine Yamal, the two teams meet this time in the semi-finals of the League of Nations, on Thursday, June 5, this time in Stuttgart. Germany and Portugal are the other two teams in this Final Four. The final and the match for third place are scheduled for Sunday (respectively in Munich and Stuttgart).
As with the training of Didier Deschamps, the Luis de la Fuente select qualified after a penalty shootout. The return round was completely crazy in Mestalla last Sunday. A double of Mikel Oyarzabal and a superb goal from Lamine Yamal put Spain in the posting board, but Memphis Depay, Ian Maathsen then a penalty of Xavi Simons in overtime each time put the counters to zero. During the fateful session, Lamine Yamal won but Pedri finally qualified his country.
Spain is now experiencing its group of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The European champions will have a lot to do in their pool, especially in the first two matches scheduled outside in early September, in Bulgaria and Turkey! They will then play against Georgia and the Bulgarians in October, before going to Tbilisi in November to challenge Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and finish against the Turks of Arda Güler!
The chances of Spain not very high
Fabian Ruiz and his teammates are not immune to an incredible failure. As proof, according to the calculations of We Global FootballSpain posted 69% of chance of finishing at the top of the group, while Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, better lotis in their hen, are all 90% chance of qualifying directly for FIFA World Cup 26. The fault of a Turkey in full renewal, whose last results
We Global Football to give it 26% chance of finishing first.
By finding itself second, Spain would compete in the European World Cup dams in March 2026. The 12 seconds of the playoffs and four teams drafted thanks to the League of Nations will be distributed in four Final Four, for the last four tickets for North America. In 2022, Italy, winner of the Euro a year earlier, had been eliminated the dams against the northern Macedonia in its semi-final, chaining a second absence from the World Cup. Roja cannot imagine such an affront.
