You can only see Spain or France in the final from that side of the draw, although we can't discount Donaldtino's combined meddling to help the US as much as possible.
Until now it's difficult to see beyond France, everybody else has been average at best, maybe Argentina have made easy of their games. Spain like pretty much everybody else has put in a decent performance but nothing to bet the farm on. Despite Norway beating Brazil they got smashed 4-1 by France last week.
I still expect a repeat of the 2022 World Cup Final though this time I'm not so certain Argentina will lift the cup. If England are to stand any chance they're going to need more than Kane and Bellingham showing up. I expect Gordon to start from now on but it would be nice to see Rice and Anderson live up to their reputations and fees. Saka probably now starts on the right as he remembered how to cross a ball. Pickford obviously and the current defence is okay.
I can't help feeling so many country's players are burnt out from last season and France have the deepest squad. The weather and level of traveling required each game is obviously not helping. Whilst the temperature was more than decent for England last night, you worry how long it will take the players to recover from playing at such high altitude?
