As the FIFA World Cup 2023 semi-finals approach, football fans are left wondering: who will secure their place in the final?

The FIFA World Cup has entered its defining week, with only four teams left standing and football fans around the globe counting down to what promises to be a thrilling finish.

Months of preparation, weeks of intense competition and countless unforgettable moments have all led to the semi-finals, where every pass, tackle and goal could determine who earns a place in football's biggest match.

One of the biggest stories of this year's tournament has been its unpredictability. Tournament favourites have been pushed to their limits, underdogs have produced memorable performances and several knockout matches have been decided by the narrowest of margins.

It has been a reminder that once the World Cup reaches the business end of the competition, reputation means very little – the team that handles pressure best usually comes out on top.
