At the World Cup's penultimate stage, four nations — France, Spain, England, and Argentina — carry the weight of their histories into two matches that will determine who plays for football's highest honor. Tuesday brings France against Spain, Wednesday England against Argentina, each contest a crucible where decades of national longing meet ninety minutes of irreversible consequence. The tournament has done its sorting; what remains is the moment where ambition either becomes legacy or dissolves into near-miss.
