That's it. Spain are the 2026 World Cup winners. They deserve it.

Spain winning the World Cup this cycle by the same scoreline as they did in 2010, also after extra time and have now gone 38 games unbeaten as the newly crowned world champions to add to their existing European title.
 
Is this Spain's chosen victory music? Geez. Just sooth yourself down after 120min of fighting.

Argentina didn't help themselves and England battered them for a good hour before imploding. They had this odd lethargy all tournament before only switching on late. Dickhead and his red didn't help.

Yawn football triumphs. Players happy but nowhere near as emotive as previous winners. It's almost as if they knew their slow grinding away at the competition would get them victory.

Additionally the fans at the game are unlikely to be purists and just there for vibes.

You kick and run fan?
 
This is akin to an Australian swimming gold. We know we're good.

Players spent after 120min but Argentina players hardly interested in giving congratulations.
 
Scuffles from the benches. Argentina are utter pish. Any sport, look at how they behave. Nalbandian, Chela. Absolute wankers.

Not exactly but just hogging the ball and doing little with it is boring to watch. Something of a mix with quick transitions and moving the ball quickly to stagger the defensive line is more my thing.

The game moved faster than I had anticipated.

This is where I differ from a few posters.

It is very difficult to maintain possession. Having done so much of it on the training track in coaching teams to do it, I really appreciate the likes of Spain, Portugal and France doing it so well.

It requires so much teamwork and cohesion to play like them.
 
The World Cup Final is also a triumph for pure football teams succeeding.

Both Spain and Argentina deviate from the prevailing norm of huge, bulky UEFA teams. That is, with excessively tall, bulky players.

England being the case in point. They left some smaller, more nimble players at home. Spain and Argentina had plenty of them. Only teams of this calibre can exploit the overly large teams with many players of large physical stature, who are less nimble players.
