This Week in Sports Trivia: July 16, 2026

After more than a month of heart-stopping action, the FIFA men’s World Cup is finally approaching the finish line.

Spain will take on defending champion Argentina in the championship game on Sunday after the Spaniards upset France and Argentina knocked off England in the semis. The semifinal losers will try to muster the energy to put on a show in the third-place game on Saturday.

Several upstarts like Cape Verde and Norway made splashes in this tournament, but in the end we get a championship matchup between traditional powers. It should be a fun one. Head over to our World Cup page to prepare for the game. It might even help you with this week’s quiz, though we’ll touch on a lot more.
