Switzerland

Argentina have scored 16 goals from 8 different players but needed extra time in two of three knockout matches. England have 13 goals from just three scorers — Bellingham and Kane account for 12 — but won their quarter-final with a 93rd-minute Bellingham strike. One team has depth. The other has destiny. The data reveals a semi-final shaped by mirror formations, contrasting vulnerabilities, and two very different paths to survival.

Argentina secures a convincing 3-1 victory over Switzerland, with Alexis Mac Allister's early goal in the 10th minute setting the tone for a decisive performance. Dominating the shot count 22-11, Argentina effectively controls the match, capitalizing on their offensive pressure to maintain the lead and dictate the game's tempo.

Canada's dominance in possession (61%) fails to translate into victory as they draw 1-1 with Bosnia and Herzegovina. Despite controlling the game, Canada concedes early to Jovo Lukic's 21st-minute goal. Their territorial advantage eventually yields an equalizer, but the lack of clinical finishing leaves them unrewarded.

Canada's 6-0 victory over Qatar is defined by their possession dominance, which allowed them to dictate the match tempo and territory. The turning point comes at the 16th minute with Cyle Larin's goal, setting the stage for Jonathan David's heroics. Canada's overwhelming 32-2 shot advantage underscores their control and relentless attacking pressure.

England win the bronze medal in a stunning 6-4 victory after leading 4-0 at halftime, surviving a ferocious French comeback led by Mbappé — who broke the all-time World Cup scoring record — before Saka's hat-trick penalty and Bellingham's late strike sealed the greatest third-place match ever played.
