These semifinals already have massive hype because of what they mean, but if we play the what-if game, the different possible World Cup final matchups are just as huge—or even bigger.
These are some of the possible finals that could take place next July 19 in New Jersey.
France-Argentina
It could be a rematch of the last World Cup final in Qatar, which for many was the best final in World Cup history, and it could get a second chapter four years later. The French would certainly feel eager for this encounter.
Spain-Argentina
The Finalissima that never happened would get its moment in history at this World Cup. European champions against the champions of America and the world, a clash that would take the hype to unimaginable levels.
Spain-England

This possible final would once again pit Spain against England, just as they faced each other in the final of the last European Championship, which Spain won. The Three Lions’ desire for revenge, combined with the fact that they have not lifted a World Cup in 60 years, would give this possible blockbuster an extra edge.
France-England
This represents another revenge storyline for an England side that saw France knock them out in the quarter-finals of the last World Cup. Beyond being a clash between two European heavyweights, the historical factor would be massive.
These are the four possible finals that could take place next July 19. For now, it’s all just speculation, but one thing remains clear: we are set for an absolutely epic World Cup final. Which two teams will make it to New Jersey?
