We’re into the final week of the 2026 World Cup.
By next Monday, we will know who has won, and we’ll be trying to dry the inevitable tears of a concluded World Cup.
That therefore means this is the final week of daily SVQs, so let’s finish strongly.
With the semi-finals confirmed, we’ll bring you the latest Opta supercomputer numbers, while we’ll also look at Jude Bellingham’s phenomenal performances for England this summer.
As we’re into the final week of the World Cup, we thought you might be getting a bit tired of Missing Players, so we have a new mystery game to play, and our Ask Opta question queries how successful teams who advance from ‘groups of death’ are at World Cups.
🏆 STAT - Who Will Win the World Cup?
And then there were four.
We started with a record 48 teams at the 2026 World Cup. Now, 100 games later, the semi-finals await.
France play Spain in Dallas on Tuesday, before England and Argentina meet in Atlanta on Wednesday.
They are the foursome that many, including the Opta supercomputer, predicted would reach this stage, and so we can expect some tightly-contested games.
Who is likeliest to win from here, though? We have checked in with the Opta supercomputer for the latest.
