A player-fan-writer's take on soccer
Spain triumphed over France 2-0, securing a place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final. Mikel Oyarzabal opened the scoring with a penalty in the 22nd minute, followed by Pedro Porro’s goal in the 58th minute. Despite France’s efforts, they struggled to compete effectively throughout the match.
Kylian Mbappé missed a penalty but scored to propel France to a 2-0 victory over Morocco, advancing them to the semifinals. Following a scoreless first half, Mbappé scored in the 60th minute, and Ousmane Dembélé secured the win shortly after. France will next face the winner of Belgium vs. Spain.
