The top of the table

Spain finished as champions, Argentina as runners-up, England took third with a 6-4 win over France, and France came fourth. The quarter-finalists who fell short were Morocco, Belgium, Norway and Switzerland, a mix of a resurgent African side, a European heavyweight, the tournament's fairytale, and a well-drilled dark horse.

Region by region

UEFA dominated the deep rounds, with Spain, England and France all reaching the last four and Belgium, Norway and Switzerland in the quarters. CONMEBOL had Argentina in the final. CAF's standout was Morocco, who reached the quarters after eliminating hosts Canada. AFC and CONCACAF struggled to make the latter stages, with the three CONCACAF hosts all falling in the Round of 16.
