在关于2026年FIFA世界杯四分之一决赛球队夺冠可能性的评估中，《半岛电视台》将法国队列为头号热门 [1]。该媒体回顾了各队在小组赛和淘汰赛的表现、关键球员状态及潜在对手情况，对八强队伍进行了综合排名 [1]。法国队被视为最大夺冠希望，其攻击线拥有姆巴佩等恐怖火力，且整个赛事防守端仅失2球 [1]。
西班牙队位列第二，球队保持了6场世界杯零封的纪录，但进攻端表现依赖奥亚萨瓦尔一人 [1]。英格兰排在第三位，若进入决赛有望自1966年后首次夺冠，但目前需克服伤病困扰及面对哈兰德和厄德高的威胁 [1]。阿根廷排名第四，梅西以8球领跑金靴奖，不过球队防守存在隐患且阵容老化问题明显 [1]。
挪威队位居第五，依靠哈兰德的4场7球高效表现以及厄德高的进攻贡献，但球队防守薄弱 [1]。比利时排在第六位，正处于黄金一代谢幕阶段，且在面对西班牙时处于劣势 [1]。摩洛哥排名第七，头号射手赛巴里因伤缺席导致前景黯淡，特别是面对法国队时胜算极低 [1]。瑞士位列第八，核心球员曼赞比可能因伤缺阵，晋级四强已属突破 [1]。
Analysis of the eight teams remaining in contention for the 2026 FIFA World Cup title identifies France as the number one favorite [1]. The French squad is considered the strongest contender due to a fearsome attack line featuring Kylian Mbappé and a defense that conceded only two goals throughout the tournament [1]. Spain ranks second, having maintained an unbeaten record in six matches without conceding any goals, though their offensive output relies heavily on Oyarzabal [1]. England is placed third; while reaching the final could mark their first title since 1966, they face challenges from injuries and threats posed by Erling Haaland and Martin Ødegaard [1]. Argentina sits fourth with Lionel Messi leading the Golden Boot race with eight goals, but concerns remain regarding defensive vulnerabilities and an aging squad composition [1]. Norway is ranked fifth based on the high efficiency of its attacking duo, where Haaland scored seven goals in four matches alongside Ødegaard's contributions, despite a weak defense [1]. Belgium occupies sixth place as it enters a transition era for its golden generation, facing particular difficulties against Spain [1]. Morocco falls to seventh position after top scorer Cheddira was injured and ruled out of the tournament, leaving their prospects dim when pitted against France [1]. Switzerland is ranked eighth; with key player Manzanbi potentially missing due to injury, reaching the quarterfinals has already been a significant breakthrough for the team [1].
