Semi-Final Predictions and Deadline

All predictions must be submitted before the first semi-final kicks off. Some participants have voiced concerns that others wait until later to submit their picks, possibly to adjust based on early predictions. This approach goes against the spirit of the league, so late entries after the France vs Spain match begins won’t count.

If you want to keep your selections hidden from your opponent until kick-off, you can email Dan directly for privacy.

Remember, predictions apply only to regular time. If you expect extra time or penalties, please predict a draw.

Dan’s Picks for the Semi-Finals

France 0-0 SpainSpain might be the only team equipped to halt France’s attack. They've conceded just one goal in the tournament, and their defense owes much to their ball control rather than dramatic saves.By controlling possession, Spain limits France’s chances. Still, with the attacking talent France has, they will likely find a breakthrough eventually. The question is how much of the ball France can keep.

England 1-0 ArgentinaBoth teams have flown under the radar compared to other semi-finalists, which feels odd considering Argentina holds the current World Cup title.Critics might pick faults, but if you doubt how either side reached this stage, why watch at all?Both squads show resilience and grit. England probably hold a slight edge with players more likely to deliver a key moment and a deeper bench. If England focus on the present game rather than the occasion, they should prevail.
