Well deserved the win for Spain!
Argentina reaches the final spending all their lives, playing with huge balls.
I live two blocks from the main monument here, and people is celebrating, I guess as a sign of recognition of the effort, and the way every player gave everything and more.
Vamos Argentina carajo! 🇦🇷 Es imposible que los demás lo entiendan.

I believe we can officially pass the nickname "The Machine" from Germany to Spain. That's the impression I got watching their team. 1 goal conceded in the entire tourney, making the world's best attackers look like Segunda players. La Máquina.
Amazing to see Spain win, well deserved as they were the best team by a long way and completely controlled the game 🇪🇸🇪🇸
What a disgrace Argentina were, constantly fouling and niggling and not for the first time, then brawling at the end. Shameful!

After Saturday’s goal-fest in the bronze medal match, it was almost inevitable that Sunday’s final would be a tactical battle that ended 1-0. Still, the fact that the Argentines didn’t even manage a shot on goal in 115 minutes is extremely disappointing. Given all that, it would have been a nightmare if they had won. It was a fair result.
Pretty sure that even absolute football minnows are also better on that front 🤔wushibala said:
Parking the bus is one thing but usually teams that use defensive approach are actually productive enough to try to attack aswell so they end up making atleast shot or 2 if not more..
There's a saying: There's no such thing as a good stew that a pinch of shit can't ruin.
The behavior of the Argentines after the game and during the Spanish celebrations was exactly like that.
In the end, they even win the title of the most unsympathetic team of the World Cup.

The Germans won the double for the first time, starting with the European Championship. 1972: European Champion, then 1974: World Champion (on home soil, they defeated the Netherlands 2–1 in the final).
The French took the opposite path: they ascended to the European throne after the World Cup title. 1998: World Champion (on home soil, defeating Brazil 3–0). 2000: European Champion (defeating Italy 2–1 with a golden goal).
The "golden generation" of Spanish football achieved the only treble in football history, winning three major tournaments in a row. 2008: European Champion (1–0 against Germany). 2010: World Champion (1–0 against the Netherlands in extra time). 2012: European Champion (4–0 against Italy in a knockout match).
2024: European Champion (defeating England 2–1 in the final). 2026: World Champion
So they won five major tournaments from 2008. and nothing before that.

Argentina was the worst World Cup finalist I have ever seen. Not managing a single shot on goal until the 120th minute is just abysmal. And how a player like Paredes can commit six fouls after getting a yellow card without seeing a second yellow-red card is a complete mystery to me... If you play that dirty, you get what you deserve. Congratulations, Spain! Good Game, Well Played! 😀Sunz of Beaches said:

Maybe its true what u are saying and a small group was celebrating somewhere but in the news i saw fights with police and people destroying things so i guess those celebrating were in the vast minority.
This isnt a debate, the facts are there for the world to see.
Play with pride, play with passion but lets not get any of those confused with the disgraceful behaviour we witnessed on Sunday.
