Why Bet on France?

France faced a tough challenge in the semifinals against a strong Egyptian team despite their 3-1 victory. During the match, Egypt took the lead at 61′ with a goal by Mahmoud Saber. However, at 82′, Jean-Philippe Mateta scored the equalizer for France, and in overtime, he scored another goal to add a brace and make it 2-1. After Egyptian player Omar Fayed was sent off for a naive protest, France was almost certain of victory. Michael Olise then scored the winning goal to make it 3-1.

During the group stage, France secured their place at the top of Group A by defeating the United States (3-0), Guinea (1-0) and New Zealand (3-0). In the quarterfinals, they defeated Argentina by a single goal (1-0).

Why Bet on Spain?

The Spanish national team had an impressive performance in the semifinal against Morocco. Initially, Rahimi scored from the penalty spot and celebrated the goal in front of goalkeeper Arnau Tenas, putting the Moroccans ahead. However, the Spanish team produced a strong second half, turning the match around with goals from Fermin Lopez and Juan Luis Sanchez to secure a 2-1 victory.

During the group stage, Spain managed victories against Uzbekistan (2-1) and the Dominican Republic (3-1), but suffered a defeat against Egypt (2-1), finishing as the second-placed team (with Egypt leading). In the quarterfinals, they defeated Japan with a convincing 3-0 score.
