In one of the most remarkable outcomes in the ongoing FIFA World Cup, one of the favourites to win the tournament this year, France have been eliminated from the semi-final stage.

Incidentally, France came up against Spain in the highly anticipated semi-final clash that happened last night and this ended up in the favour of the Spanish team, which was the first superior side on the night.

France started the tournament as one of the title favourites and they were expected to win the tournament this year thanks to the kind of quality they have in their squad.

However, France were absolutely pathetic with their tactics and gameplay against Spain last night, and this reflected on the field. Spain was the superior team from the opening minute to the closing minute and they were right on top of France in every department.

With France, who happened to be the favourite to win the FIFA World Cup this year getting eliminated, we have to see if we would be witnessing history in the upcoming stages. The second semi-final will be played between England and Argentina tonight, and the winner will be taking on Spain.

Argentina and Spain had won the World Cup already, but England had not won till now. So if England goes to the final, we could be witnessing the chance for a new World Cup winner this year. But if Messi can send Argentina to the finals, then this would be a big between Spain and Argentina.
