France into the last four. Mbappé's tame 25th-minute penalty is saved by Bounou, but he makes amends with a curling 60th-minute opener and then lays on Dembélé's second six minutes later (his fifth of the tournament). Morocco's run ends here.

Spain edge a thriller to reach the semi-finals.

England reach the semi-finals the hard way, after extra time. Schjelderup's 36th-minute cross-shot is cancelled out by Bellingham in first-half stoppage time, Norway have a Heggem effort chalked off for a Haaland push, and three minutes into extra time Bellingham reacts first when Nyland spills Morgan Rogers' shot — his sixth of the tournament — to settle it. England into a last-four tie with Argentina.

Argentina edge a bruising extra-time battle. Mac Allister heads in Messi's early cross and Ndoye levels for the Swiss on the hour, but Embolo's soft second yellow for simulation leaves Switzerland a man short — and Julián Álvarez's golazo followed by Lautaro Martínez's stoppage-time finish in extra time send Argentina through to meet England in the semi-finals.

Spain reach the final, and deservedly so. Lamine Yamal is clipped by Digne in the box and Mikel Oyarzabal beats Maignan from the spot on 22 minutes; Pedro Porro drills in a second early in the second half. France — Mbappé short of full fitness — never get going. Spain await the winner of Argentina and England.

Argentina come from behind once more to reach the final. Anthony Gordon heads England in front just before the hour, but Enzo Fernández levels with a stunner from distance on 85 and Lautaro Martínez pounces in stoppage time — Messi the architect of both. The champions will meet Spain in the final; Messi vs Yamal awaits.

A bronze final for the ages in Miami Gardens. England race 4-0 clear by half-time — Rice from distance, Konsa off Rice's corner, and two for Saka — before Mbappé (twice, the second making him the all-time World Cup top scorer past Messi), Barcola and Dembélé drag France back. Saka completes his hat trick from the spot and Bellingham adds a tenth in the dying seconds. The most goals in a World Cup match since 1982.

SPAIN ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS. A tense, suffocating final swings at 90+3 when Enzo Fernández collects a second yellow for a foul on Cubarsí — and sixteen minutes into extra time, substitute Ferran Torres turns in Pedro Porro's back-post lift. Dibu Martínez's record eleven saves keep Argentina alive to the end, but Messi's farewell finishes in silver. Spain add a second star, sixteen years after South Africa 2010.
