We have our first #WorldCup2026 finalist: Spain 🇪🇸

They talked the talk and continued to walk the walk ⚽🔥:

-EURO 2024 semifinal: Spain beats France.
-2025 Nations League semifinal: Spain beats France.
-2026 World Cup semifinal: Spain beats France, eliminating them from the #FIFAWC2026 .

Spain has now become the first European nation to win EIGHT consecutive knockout games at major tournaments:

◉ Spain 4-1 Georgia (2024)
◉ Spain 2-1 Germany (2024)
◉ Spain 2-1 France (2024)
◉ Spain 2-1 England (2024)
◉ Spain 3-0 Austria (2026)
◉ Spain 1-0 Portugal (2026)
◉ Spain 2-1 Belgium (2026)
◉ Spain 2-0 France (2026)

They've surpassed Italy's run of seven in a row from 1934-1938, and their own from 2008-2012.

Spain has beaten every team they’ve seen in this #WC2026. Except one: Cabo Verde 🇨🇻🌍.

France’s loss to Spain is their first in normal time of a World Cup knockout game in over a decade. For the first time since 2014, they won’t be playing in the final of the tournament 🤯

Did you expect this result or were surprised by it? 👀
