2026 World Cup: Which Chelsea players are in the semi

It's time for the semi-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and with Chelsea representation now guaranteed in the final, here's what's to come.

One of two quarter-final ties that went to extra time included Enzo's Argentina, as they defeated Switzerland after extra-time in Kansas City following another dramatic knockout contest.

Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister had headed the South Americans in front before Dan Ndoye of Nottingham Forest hit back for Switzerland. Despite Switzerland's Breel Embolo being dismissed for a second yellow card, the sides still couldn't be separated after 90 minutes.

It was left to Julian Alvarez and Lautaro Martinez to complete the job, with both strikers scoring in the second half of extra time.

Although Enzo had scored a late winner against Egypt to secure Argentina's progression to the final eight last time out, the midfielder was substituted as the match headed for extra time.

Now only England stand in the midfielder's way of making it to back-to-back World Cup finals, when they go head-to-head for the first time in the competition since 2002 at the Atlanta Stadium on Wednesday July 15, with a kick-off time of 8pm (UK).

England – Reece James, Trevoh Chalobah

It's been a memorable tournament for the Three Lions as they secured their spot in the World Cup's final four for the first time since 2018, after beating Norway 2-1 in extra time.

Jude Bellingham scored twice in Miami to set up a fixture with Argentina in Atlanta, which is set for an 8pm kick-off time (UK) on Wednesday July 15.

Reece, who had been recovering from a knock, entered the contest on the 71-minute mark, helping to keep Norway out as the Three Lions went in search of a winner. Trev was an unused substitute during the contest and is yet to appear at the tournament.

Gusto’s France are World Cup semi-finalists once again, having made the final four on three consecutive occasions now. Indeed, Les Bleus have only lost one World Cup match inside 120 minutes since the start of the 2018 edition.

It was made to look straightforward as France secured their place in the semi-finals, beating Morocco 2-0 in Boston on Friday, with goals from Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele, although the former missed from the penalty spot.

After featuring in the final stages of the clash with Morocco, Malo will now face the current European champions, Spain, on Tuesday July 14, with kick-off at 8pm (UK) with a place in the 2026 World Cup final up for grabs.
