Argentina is now preparing for the biggest match of the FIFA World Cup 2026 after earning a 2–1 semifinal victory over England. The defending champions will face Spain in the Final on July 19 at New York New Jersey Stadium. Meanwhile, France and England are scheduled to meet in the bronze final on July 18, leaving only two matches before the tournament concludes.
Argentina reached the Final following victories over Cape Verde, Egypt, Switzerland, and England during the knockout stage. Spain secured the other championship place after defeating France 2–0 in the semifinal. Their meeting will bring together the defending world champions and the reigning European champions in the final match of the soccer world cup.
As both finalists prepare, the 8 Ball Strike Cup Championship livestream is now live today. The Championship is taking place on July 16 and 17 and features the final 32 competitors from the tournament. The event is part of AviaGames' partnership with the Argentine Football Association (AFA), making Argentina's run to the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final especially timely. Since launching on June 12, the competition has progressed through the Group Stage and Playoffs, with the Championship serving as the tournament's concluding stage.
The mobile pool shooter Championship is hosted by gaming creator Troydan and professional trick-shot artist Florian "Venom" Kohler, with esports host Katie Bedford joining the broadcast. Fans can follow the event through the 8 Ball Strike Facebook page and the YouTube channels of Troydan and Venom.
The tournament features $80,000 in total rewards, with the champion receiving $10,000 in cash and a jersey signed by Argentina National Team players, including Lionel Messi. Its final day takes place while supporters continue counting down to Argentina's meeting with Spain.
Alongside major international soccer games, the livestream provides another championship event for viewers to follow. 8 Ball Strike belongs to the broader category of mobile casual games centered on short, skill-based rounds. Where legally available, eligible players may play games for money through optional competitions. These formats may also be described as win real money games, with availability depending on the game and location.
Argentina versus Spain remains the main sporting event of the weekend, while the 8 Ball Strike Cup Championship concludes during the final days of the World Cup. The timing connects both competitions naturally through AviaGames' partnership with the AFA.
