And they are unstoppable! Euro 2024 winners and now fifa 2026 world cup winners! They really are the best team in the world
Did Spain lose WC26 by complaining B4 Kick Off? Does Losing Negativity Reign in Spain ?
Argentina is this centurys Brazil 2.0 & will win WC26 Sun 19/7/26. Destiny cannot be denied.
Spain & Laporte complaining about la Albiceleste brave powerful style means Spain have already lost.
Spain dont like it up em huh?
80% of fans love Leo & his strong Gring0 team mates.
They battle to the last breath man. Even losing by 2 goals in the last 10 mins cant defeat Argentina.
Reigning champs for a reason.
Best Winners mentality in the world.
La Albiceleste will win 2 in a row.
Magic of Messi will win it.
Spain are due bad luck with red cards & in-game injuries &
Flukey Argentine goals & lucky free kicks & clearences & saves will help Argentina a lot.
Is Messi this century's Pele & Zico rolled into one player ?
Pele scored zero 0 nil WC goals after age 29, but Messia has scored 20 goals after age 29.
England have become old West Germany 2.0 &
Germany = Old England, how ironic.
Jude = Mattheus 2.0
Kane = Klinsman 2.0
ZZidane starts on 1st Sep 2026 07:10 – will we defeat France again, but in the Euro28 Semi to face Klopps Germany in the Final, wow ?
I want England to win 6-4 AET in Euro28 Final.
OK, I will take 3-2 too.
Well the real question is can they stop Yamal rodri pedri olmo bayena bouro and the others
NO MORE SPAIN 🇪🇸⚽🏆
GO SPAIN 🇪🇸⚽🏆 from 🇳🇿 NEW ZEALAND 🌏
Argentina will start the game by doing fouls and they will go to Injured key Spain player and they will get away with it.Hope referee and VAR for one they will review their fouls.
VAR it's getting better and better for Messi and Argentina
Messi no necesita muchos balones para ser mortal.. una falta cerca del area.. centros.. todo depende de los demás compañeros ya ni de ÉL , el juego será un poco o mucho más sucio por parte de argentina , parar el juego… o puede que España haga otra exhibición, pero la copa hablará el mismo idioma.. y será un pequeño consuelo para el perdedor. Viva España , viva Messi.
Lamine is effective and most of Spanish pkayers that's why they're in final, yaml is deployed differently he's not same as braca where he wants dribble pass six players, his impact in team is huge guy but you won't get Lamine barac because Spain play differently
Spain is good but 🇦🇷 has got FIFA 👍😂
I hope Spain realises that they are going to be screwed over by a corrupt FIFA and officials, and a cheating Argeninian Team with the support from their own Government that know how to play every dirty trick possible and still get away with it. That includes in England's case, Argentina trying to provoke an international conflict. This is not bad feeings because England lost because with the last 20-30 or so minutes we were going to lose any way by a ridiculous defence plan. It's not just England who have issues with Argentina. Argentina should be kicked out before the final, but this is now personal to millions upon millions who don't normally support Spain but really do now.
Total Matches: The teams have played each other approximately 14 times. Spain Wins: 6 Argentina Wins: 6 Draws: 2
Argentina has been the superior attacking side, scoring 19 goals in seven matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup compared to Spain's lower tally.
However, the upcoming Spain vs. Argentina final is a classic "best attack vs. best defense" matchup. While Argentina leads the tournament in goals—driven heavily by Lionel Messi's tournament-leading 8 goals—Spain advanced to the final on the strength of a historic defensive run, conceding only a single goal in the entire tournament.
The X-factor for Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final is Lionel Messi, who has been instrumental in their comeback victories and has set up key goals that have led to their championship spot. Messi's ability to create opportunities and contribute to the team's success has been a significant factor in Argentina's journey to the final.
For Spain, the X-factor is Lamine Yamal, who has been a key player for the team and has been involved in all of Spain's matches in the tournament. Yamal's performance and potential have been a focus for Spain as they aim to secure their second World Cup title.
Both players have been pivotal in their respective teams' performances, but the final outcome will depend on the collective performances of their teams and individual player contributions during the match.
unstopable like france !
Dude on the far right doesn't understand Argentina's soul. Guy left of him knows exactly what's going on.
ΑΝ ΟΙ ΙΣΠΑΝΟΙ ΠΑΙΞΟΥΝ ΟΠΩΣ ΞΕΡΩ ΔΕΝ ΘΑ ΣΤΑΥΡΩΣΕΙ ΜΠΑΛΛΑ ΣΤΟΝ ΤΕΛΙΚΟ ο μεσι-ΧΕΣΕΙ . ΑΠ'ΤΟΥΣ ΟΜΙΛΟΥΣ ΣΑΣ ΛΕΩ ΟΤΙ ΘΑ ΤΟ ΠΑΡΟΥΝ ΟΙ ΙΣΠΑΝΟΙ !! ! ΗΡΘΕ Η ΩΡΑ ΤΟΥΣ ΠΑΛΙ ! ! !
You guys forget that Yamah present on the field give Spain a great advantage like Messi present on the field as well. Lamine create space for his Spanish team mates because he always throws 2 or 3 players on him which give Spanish players more space to create trouble.
Spain will dominate Argentina and win this world cup on Sunday night
“They have fun together” argentina literally scraped through every match so far?
Stop overrating lamine yamal
This girl cannot get a word in without being contradicted. What is going on.
May the best team win 🇪🇸 , and may racist VARgentina lose
The guy on the right is accurate the dude in the middle doesn’t properly understand football he only focuses on one key player.
I like how they still underestimate Spain quality, similr to the pre France game.
