We are down to the final four but which of the teams left in the 2026 World Cup will make it to the final at Met Life Stadium, near New York City, on Sunday?

"The semi‑final between France and Spain should be the final based on what I've seen," said BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton. "Spain are the best footballing side in terms of the way they play and control games, while France have the firepower and the flair."

In the other half of the draw, England have not been anywhere near their best. "Instead, they have been the team who have produced big moments to get through matches, and have been helped by a pretty gentle draw so far... but I actually think they have got a great chance of getting past Argentina, for many reasons."

Sutton, AI and the users of the BBC's new predictor game have all correctly picked the winner of the four quarter‑finals, meaning the users now have an insurmountable overall lead with 100 of the tournament's 104 matches completed. Chris and AI have both been right 65 times (65%), but you lot are on top with a score of 72 (72%).
